The electrical connections in your picture are to the A/C pressure switch. Blue/Red goes to the ECU. Yel/Grn looks like it goes to ground. When the pressure is below 28psi or above 455psi, the switch connects Blu/Red to Yel/Grn which tells the ECU to turn the clutch off.
As for code K; you have to check the air mix motor.
There are two motors under the dash that are visible, one behind the radio (this chooses upper/lower ducts for air) and one under the glove box above the passengers left foot (this is the one YOU care about, the mix motor).
With the car off and in the accessory position, turn on the Climate control and turn the fan speed on low. Kneel beside the car on the passenger side and stick your head in the foot area, look up at the black motor with white control arms. Use an arm and cycle the temperature from min to max; you should see the motor/arms move if it's working; if not, that's your problem.

If its the Motor you can use my DIY to Repair it:

Since You didnt have any bad Teeth 1 way to Avoid braking a Teeth is to Lube/Spray WD40 into the A/C Coolant Line Hose! If you look over your engine bay just behind the Rear Valve Cover you should See 2 Coolant Lines going into the Firewall! 1 of them has a Linkeage thats what opens the MIX MOTOR but over time it gets dirty and stuck (Thus Stripping a Teeth in the Mix Motor) just Lube that and open close it a few times (Using the A/C Knob) that should help it work Smoothly again.
If isnt getting any power you should first test it with a Volt-e-Meter then follow the Cables back into the A/C Control... There is no Fuse for this one alone more likely is shared within the A/C System as a Whole...

Hi I figured I would ask this question here before I started a whole new thread. I myself am getting a code "k". I checked under the dash and the arm for the motor moves when changing temp. Any other ideas what could cause a "k" code. My black leather gets really hot and some ac would be nice. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
And "Open" just means that isnt Well Connected most of the Times... The Evaporator Sensor is the thing you posted in your First PIC!
I would cut those bastards and Re-Do the Cables Neatly cuz they just seem to be badly Connected....
Anyway Working in these Cars is just alot of Fun mostly becouse they have alot of Self Diagnosis systems like the one in the A/C get a FORD and you will be All over the Place trying to find whats Wrong.....

that connection looks rigged, as for the rest the only thing about a/c is that it blows, and check the connection inside the car there have several people with corroded connections
