2002 Saturn Vue V6 3.0 I started working on this car a few weeks ago and my memory has failed me....again.....previously disconnected 3 connectors from the wiring harness that rests on the outside of the timing belt cover.I connected 2 of the 3 connectors,1 went to the a/c compressor,1 went to exhaust near fan but I have 1 left and have no clue where it goes......does anyone have an idea or a picture of the area they could post...I can also submit picture if needed......thx..........I also need routing for air intake hoses and coolant hoses as they were disconnected as well.......have a nipple on top of throttle body but not sure what hose goes to it?????????????????Pirate

Wiring connection/connectors should only fit one item with perhaps places to hold them out of harm's way. Exhaust sound like an O2 sensor.

Air intake stuff probably won't go on if not indexed to right spot and bet you can't place it wrong. Not sure there's clear software for stuff like this,

Re: connector placement Sign In

So I went out & tried to connect the hoses to the throttle body & realized they are coolant hoses....is this correct that coolant hoses would connect to throttle body? as for the last connector I have yet to find another spot that is needing a connection in that area but I am going to try to take a picture of that are to post

Re: connector placement Sign In

No harm intended but I'm not so comfortable with this. In general and there will always be some exception if this intake/throttle body uses a small hose w/o a clamp for coolant it would surprise me.

If to the snorkeling of air intake probably for evaporative emissions. If somehow two similar hose happen to reach same size ports I'm shocked. Perhaps the best thing to do is get some help as mixing up coolant line to a air intake would be a disaster.

In general, wiring and the assorted maze of things connected won't fit the wrong spot but I'd really like you not to make a mistake,

Re: connector placement Sign In

Looks like one of the connectors in the picture is a dummy connector. Must be missing it's dummy cap on your set up.

Re: connector placement Sign In

In the picture it isn't going anywhere. The same harness may have been used in something else that uses that connector, so they put a dummy cap on it.

SID, you letting your kids play on the computer?

Re: connector placement Sign In

*sigh* Unfortunately..........My kids are more discipled than I am.....Unsure

I will add, if the connecter is an extra one that doesn't go anywhere, look at the pins, the whole connecter will be covered in dust/dirt. You can take one out of something else & will notice how clean it is compared to the one that has just been hanging there out in the open.....

Re: connector placement Sign In

Ok, I screwed up. That one connector plugs into an O2 sensor harness. You'll have another connector that plugs into the compressor clutch. The third one plugs into the AC high pressure switch on the side of the compressor on the hose manifold.

The only dummy is me on this one...LOL.
