WTB: A/C Compressor Switch

Need the compressor switch for the low pressure location for the A/C. My compressor is cycling on and off every few seconds when turned on and I think this is the cause. PM me price and availability.

Have you checked the refrigerant charge? That could be the problem.

No, we filled it up yesterday. I was with my mechanic and he showed me how it was constantly cycling on and off, connected and not connected to that switch. He had filled the R134 up completely (it was empty) and he couldn't get a reading on one of the pressure valves (high I think).

before you replace the switch you might read this, and make sure that you have done what is in post no 8.

N/A. The reason it wasn't cold is because there was no freon. Trying the "fix" in that post is pointless and won't work because I have the Metra kit and holding those buttons down has a different result altogether.

It's a harness plug next to the low A/C pressure pipe by the front of the engine bay.
