High pressure switch screws into top of receiver/dryer passenger side of rad.

I think if you remove the pressure switch from the rec/dryer,all the freon will rush out. The pressure switch is designed to cut power to compressor if pressure is either too low or too high. Why not find condenser fan relay and jump that? Or supply 12volts directly to fan motor to test it?

presently when i need condensor fan i jump terminals 3 &5 on the condensor fan relay.

The fan is triggered by the High pressure switch and the coolant temp sensor.i changed the coolant temp sensor last week ( had to cut a socket to get it in there w/o removing plenum)i would like to change my high pressure switch as well and hopefully solve my problem.Some vehicles have a check valve so when u remove the HPS the Freon does not release.James

I dont know if the switch can be removed from dryer without losing freon, but the entire dryer with brand new switch attached is only $70+/- from Joe
