Yes, That's why it's called a cycling switch. It's trying to protect the evaporator from freezing up and causing problems.

Sounds like that switch is either faulty or needs to be adjusted. Would it be normal for the switch to just shut the compressor down completely? Last week it was over 100 degrees. My A/C ran great for about 5 to 10 minutes of driving; after that, the compressor just shut down and never came back on. -Ryan On 6/26/06, John Hervey <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Ryan, The cycling switch screws onto the top of the accumulator and is > also > called the low pressure switch. > The reason it cycles less in hot weather is because the hotter the air > blowing over the evaporator coil the less it will cycle. > > John Hervey > www.specialtauto.com To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
