TN Thermoswitch Mystery

Found the problem (or one of) to my A/C. No power to the A/C light on the dash switch and no power to the compressor.

For the life of me I can't find what happened to the harness connector the TS plugs into. You can also see where a previous owner opend up the core case (broken tabs) and there is some duck tape in the upper right corner around some harness connector parts.

Does anyone have an idea or pic of where the harness connector comes from? I'm not sure if it got pushed behind some of the heater/AC components or if it was pulled out of the wire loom somewhere.

Thanks!
(And yes, it's been a hot summer in Nashville...)

It wouldn't surprise me if you peeled back the duct tape to find the harness connector cut off and some wires spliced together to bypass the thermoswitch....

The wire colouring should make life a little easier.

You can also temporarily jump the wires when you find them to see if it fixes the problem. The thermoswitch is normally closed.

I believe the colors are L/Y, V, VP, and L. The trouble is, they just arent' THERE! At least I now know they come from the right side of the loom, and it may be the duck tape is hiding something I'm looking for.
