  • Gray connector with Grn and Blk wires look to be for Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch.
  • Green connector with Blu/Blk and Brn/Blk wires should be for VTEC oil pressure switch.
  • Gray connector with Red wire look to be for A/C compressor clutch.

Have not found the gray connector with Blu/Wht and Blk wires yet.

Lets find waldo.

Hummm, guess for #1 is PSP.

I'll keep playing for the others.

EDIT: and once again I'm too slow at typing....Thanks RB

1. Coolant temp sensor
2. VTEC oil pressure switch
3. Larger electric fan
4. A/C clutch

here are the answers I got in the other forum I posted this.

I'm willing to bet (a cup of coffee) that #1 is the PSP and NOT the coolant temp.

Look at the PSP, what is plugged into it now? If there is anything plugged into it, what are the wire colors.

A PSP connector is a power steering pressure (PSP) connector. They connect into a sensor in the power steering line. Hope that helps.

I already knew what they were reffering to by PSP, but thank you for the help. I question them because the power steering pump is on the complete opposite side of the motor. That's why i was curious as to where the switch was.

The connectors and the wire colors for both radiator fan switch and the PSP switch look similar. It is the different wire harness that differentiate them. Dorman even sells a PSP connector that looks the same as your photo. However, due to the location, yours probably is for the radiator fan switch. The PSP switch is on the power steering pressure hose, located under the left rear of the engine compartment.

Dorman Products - 645-203

Also, see various images I've attached.

Thank you for the clarification. and I see now how it would be confusing. All of the plugs I posted have now been located. I am just waiting on my Vtec Solenoid Switch to show up, since the motor I purchased didn't come with one.

I am going to check the PSP switch and look to see what is connected to it tomorrow.
