What are you trying to achieve by cutting wires and splicing? We need help understanding what your end goal is.

Probably the ac compressor is overheating and thermal switch is disengaging the clutch.

What I am trying to understand Misha, is why do this unless you are planning to bypass the compressor with a shorter belt serpentine belt?

Because he would have a working ac after bypassing the thermal switch.

Maybe thermal switch is at fault and it keeps dissengaging the clutch.

There is a big chance that you only have a clutch gap issue.

My concern is that by bypassing the switch, you would have the compressor constantly running which is not a good thing!
