Replace thermal protector on AC compressor
The thermal protector in my 2003 Civic stopped working after the freon leaked out. After fixing the leak and filling it, I shorted the two wires to the thermal protector so I would have AC for a weekend trip.
So, would you replace the thermal protector if it costs around $60 and a couple hours of labor? I'm currently thinking not, as the compressor has 95,000 miles on it. It looks like a new compressor is around $300 and it comes with a new thermal protector.
What do you think?
