Re: a/c problem

If indeed it is the a/c connector plug, it plugs in just behind the compressor pulley on the side or top.....It will only fit one way.

Re: a/c problem

From under the car, take the splash shield off inside the front right wheel well, then you should see it just fine.

Re: a/c problem

It is probably broken off-- and now you are in need of a new coil.....or in GM's case they will soak you for a new compressor.
