I have a 90 Civic and need to try and jump the dual pressure switch so I can force my compressor to switch on. I have an illustration a member gave me a few weeks back that diagrams where this is found on the car. Unfortunately I am still unable to figure out exactly what it is I'm supposed to be looking for here.

Can someone take a good picture of the a/c dual pressure switch from their car and post it back here, perhaps with a red arrow pointing right at the thing?

I'm not the greatest with cars and can't seem to find it on my own even with the help of the illustration. A picture is the only thing that's gonna work for me. THANKS

 

Why are you trying to force the compressor to run?

 

Here are some related pics:

google around. sorry dont have a camera right now.

 

I am trying to troubleshoot the a/c system which does not function any more. I have some pressure but in order to try and feed the system a can of refridgerant I need to force the compressor to kick on. The pressure switch may be forcing it to cut off.

This will also tell me if the compressor is fried or not if it won't come on after bypassing the switch.

Thus why I need to find the switch. Please post a picture if anyone can. Thankyou

 

 

Thanks.

What is the best way to bypass this thing? Can I just use a paper clip to jump it?

 

That will work,
