Not very nice, and they only fixed the AC, as i had to repair the knock sensor 2 which was chewed as well.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Suggestion

Without that wire to engage the AC clutch, you should only be getting ambient air when you run the AC.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, I got a Boxster S 2000 last year. Having not been used for some time, i've caught up on the maintenance and checked on Durametric codes. A knock sensor connected to ground led me to find out some rodent damage on top of bank2: the knock sensor wire was chewed. I fixed it and this is issue came away. I've also found an other grey wire (see below) chewed, but cannot figure out where it is going to. Any idea ? Aside from this, the car is running fine. I get P1130 once in a while (no CEL), and clean the throttle body. I replaced the AOS. Can it be linked to the evap line ? Thanks, Jeff

POST 2Original post

That's the wire that goes to the AC compressor to engage the clutch.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. Interesting I didn't notice any issues with the AC. What would ve the symptoms ?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Where does this wire connect on the other side ? I can't find it. I may have to remove the intake to figure it out.

POST 5Original post

Without that wire to engage the AC clutch, you should only be getting ambient air when you run the AC. The wire goes across the back of the AC compressor, then along the side up to the base of the pulley.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks 78F350 ! I found out why the AC works. It has been rerouted in a previous repair. Not very nice, and they only fixed the AC, as i had to repair the knock sensor 2 which was chewed as well.
