Is it really skinny? I know there's a wire that's on the A/C compressor itself, (stays on compressor when compressor is removed) gray connector and I think it was black wires.

Or, does it come out of a harness and would it be long enough to reach the side of the tranny? I ask b/c...., well look at the connector in step # 12C and #17; http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/trans...n/removal.html

I already connected the wire to the ac compressor so it must be going to the harness next to the tranny. Just wondering what that wire does. I've been getting traction control light going on and off and also the overdrive light.

The wire I was talking about on the compressor isn't the main wire connector, it's the one that runs the magnetic clutch on the compressor. Do you have any problems with your A/C turning on?
Check the tranny, that connector looks like the same shape as the top one pictured in that link. I'm not sure what those sensors are for on the tranny but seeing how you got the lights then, hey, maybe that's it. Good luck.
