Default Air Conditioning wiring question?

I am completely bypassing the car cooling fan relay system (01 F-Body). I need to run a wire to the AC clutch activation. The wiring diagram I have shows a dark green and white wire coming off the PCM for this function. But when I get to the AC compressor, I only see a light green and a black wire. What am I missing? Thanks

That wire goes through the pressure switch.

Can you be more specific? Am I looking in the wrong spot to terminate my new wire?

What are you actually trying to accomplish? It seems like you want to activate the a/c compressor without the engine fans. Thats not a good idea.

I have an actual wire harness. I'll take a look.

My thoughts too but people get pissed off at me for making assumptions.
It's not my AC thats going to blow up. Anyway it should be ok if he runs it through the cutoff switch. If not oh well.

sorry for the confusion. The system requires that the fans be switched on any time the AC is activated. This is a override of the thermostatic turn on function. I need to connect the wire to the AC clutch to activate the fans.
