btw, I did put the link in there . . . . . .

I think it's possible to poke the end of a bit of wire into the back of the connectorThank you all kindly
To check that the orange wire of the compressor is grounded whilst the connectors are together
Do I simple slice that wire and connect to ground
I didn’t see the link ?

Exactly. The rear of the connect is simply a rubber seal. Either pull that out or poke some copper wire through where the orange wire goes through.

Made the link easier to find in my post above !!Thank you all kindly

I can’t thank you guys enough for the continued support .Im starting to think this might be beyond me to fix .
I have clear all fault codes today
I did have slow 35 max speed and please see pic but now they are clear .
I did the turn of software restart engine no luck
I grounded the orange cable ,compressor didn’t start on starting car
I checked the compressor cable with engine running
I get 13 volts between the small purple/ black cable and large black cable
I also took off the end cap with the brushes on the compressor and tested the thermal cut out switch for continuity
Not sure what to check next ?
Thanks

Have you actually tested the motor because it sounds like the motor is toast.

When unplugged, the loom side of the connector, will usually only show voltage on the thermal sense wire. This is because with the connector unplugged, the ECU thinks the thermal switch has tripped, therefore the relay will be off.
If you're trigger the relay using RSW software, then the PLG wire will go to 12V, but this does not tell you if the ECU is sensing the thermal switch correctly.
I suggest to check the thermal signal is grounded at the ECU input on Pin-16. The diagrams show this wire is direct from the EAS box to the ECU, so I dodn't think there's any connectors in the middle ?
