The connector for the A/C is in that general area... a little towards the drivers side though... but baiscally in the middle. If you have a DX, then that's what it is, and that's the cool toy.

i hate airconditioning, its unnatural feeling (is that a word?) i have windows to roll down, screw the ac it takes away power too, (more strain on engine) and it weighs more and theres lots of reasons why i dont want it i had it in my old car and never used it because it slows down your car and eats gas when its on screw that, but yeah i wont say the same thing when its 110 degrees out ill be all like i wish i listend to skip barber instead of being a smart ***. hahhaha oh well

my DX comes with AC, but it's *** cold almost 5 months of the year in my area. what's the freaking use.

Windows down for short trips and AC on for long. If I lived in TX then I'd have AC and Limo tint; thats beating the heat. Being in the heat and then the cold and then in the heat again can get you sick nicely

i never use the AC, but when it fogs up I kinda have to. Windows and sunroof open, and sometimes the vent fan blowing a little bit.

it could also be a fuel pump by pass switch (turn on the fuel pump without turning the car on)

no its not a switch i would have fvcked something up if it was cause i would be like switch goes on switch goes off, as my fuel pump explodes, no but its a female connecter with 4 wires (so 4 female connectors) and i think it is for an ac but now that i think of it theres not button for ac why is there a switch ill get a picture of it later and that might help
