A/C Low Pressure Switch: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Viper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The A/C low pressure switch is a single pole, single throw, pressure actuated switch that is used to control evaporator freeze up.
The A/C low pressure switch is mounted on a fitting located on the top of the A/C accumulator. The A/C low pressure switch fitting on the accumulator is equipped with an O-ring and contains a Schrader-type valve, which allows the switch to be serviced without discharging the refrigerant system.
