Subject:Re: Stray wires around the fuse block Help!!

I can help you. Those 1 and 2 wire connectors tie the front cooling
system to the A/C system in the rear of the van, if so equipped.

Page 97.145 of the Bentley wiring diagrams shows connector T2h.

Pin 1 is red/black going to the dash from the A/C, to run the radiator
fan whenever the A/C is on.

Pin 2 is black/yellow, going from the dash to the A/C to turn off the
compressor whenever the radiator high temp switch is triggered.

That single wire connector is also for A/C if present.
Page 97.144 shows connector T1b.
It comes from the rear A/C high freon pressure switch to trigger the
middle stage of the radiator fan whenever the pressure gets high inside
the A/C system.

(some of the other wire colors of the radiator fan circuit are wrong in
the Bentley in the A/C diagrams section)
