Tommydogg2003 Hyundai Elantra electrical connector ID assistance
I need some help IDing a connector on a friends Elantra. My google foo and knowledge bank has failed me. I topped off the refrigerant in a friend's car about 6 weeks ago, all was fine. She called me this afternoon and said her a/c had been recently turning warm after about 10 to 15 minutes.. I was close, so I came over. The car had been sitting about 30 to 45 minutes, so I cranked it up and the a/c ran fine, clutch properly operating. Sure enough, 10 minutes later the compressor stopped and the air was warm. I pulled the clutch connector to check with a meter when I discovered another connector running along the top of the compressor unplugged. I flipped it over and it was melted. Operationally, the car runs fine. I can't find this connector using google, I'm hoping someone in this vast data base called Sig Forum has an idea, as I mainly work on Fords. It is two pin. The compressor is passenger side low. Here is a picture showing the compressor and clutch connector and the mystery connector. The second photo is the cable and the other half of the mystery connector.

RotndadIt's hard to tell but it looks like the connector for the High Pressure cut off switch. The switch is usually built into the compressor kind of. the power to the clutch runs thru this switch so that if the compressor pressures get too high it will de-energize the compressor clutch to save the compressor from self-destruction.

RotndadIf you can provide the year, make, model, sub-model (Dx, Ex, SV, ETc.), engine size and wire colors, I can try to get a schematic from work to I.D. it for you.
