Do this on both ends of the wire.

Could this be a problem? Looking at a picture of the same harness on EBay shows these wires separated with one coming out of each side of the plastic connector.

Cut that wire going to ground off and hook it up to the other side with another Packard 56 female terminal the way it should be and all will be well I'll bet!

Whoever made that harness for you, definitely owes you at least a box of fuses!

I'm kinda guessing it may be a pinched wire between there and the compressor coil???
Yep.....I'd say that was 'pinched' alright...lol

That's the least they could do! Glad you found it without having to call a mech over and you learned something in the bargain. Actually, you can easily fix that one and have a spare.

Way to go. I had to step away for a minute, but I was going to say don't get discouraged. You were narrowing it down and the satisfaction you will have when you find it will be worth it.

But I guess I am a little late for that.

Glad you were able to find it and I hope you haven't ordered an ambient sensor.
