Let me ask you this, the yellow from the unit to the yellow on the wiring harness should be connected for the memory 12V constant right, and the reds are for the ignition correct? The only way I can get the unit to power up is if I wire my yellow from the unit to the two...

    Can you identify this part for me

    I did have the system checked 2 years ago to check for a leak, and last year I replaced the dryer unit. Even though the system was empty of freon prior to me changing the dryer, would the dye still be in the system Bill? I would feel better if it were the dye rather then the anti freeze
