Hi,

I have a 1994 Saturn SL1 with an A/C problem. I've disconnected the
green wire that plugs directly into the connector at the top of the
compressor. There is voltage at the end of the wire when the A/C
switch is on, but the compressor won't kick in. The wire and the
connector are making good contact when plugged in. Anyway, directly
applying 12v to the connector on the compressor will get it to run
fine. There is a diode inside a small splice connector a few inches
from the end of the green wire which also seems fine (as far as I can
tell - I'm not sure what it does). Any ideas on what the issue might
be, or what else I can check?

Thanks,

John
