You will definitely lose all of your Freon when you replace the high pressure switch. Once the high pressure switch is loosen the Freon will begin to access the system.
Switch could be bad or the schraeder valvee the switch screws into could be bad
Not without some specialized equipment. Any good A/C repair shop can remove the Freon, replace the switch, and install the same Freon again, thus loosing none.
There is actually a low-pressure switch and a high-pressure switch. The low-pressure switch is located on the right side rear of the engine compartment on top of the AC accumulator. The high switch is on the AC high pressure line in the area behind the left headlamp assembly. Niether one is hard to replace, it's self-explanatory when you see them.
Since a 1997 Intrepid has a high pressure cut off switch, it is OK to put a whole 1 pound can of Freon in it. You will need to do this after charging the system.
Yes the ac lines are under pressure. The high side is under dangerously high pressure. The Freon needs to be removed by a reclaiming machine and the pressure will be removed.
Yes. there is a low and high pressure cutoff switch for the newer cars 1995+
there is a high pressure switch on the line or the accumalator, unplug it and place a jumper wire into the connector
discharge pressure is high, suction pressure is high superheat is low and subcooling is high.
Connect the pressure gauge to the high pressure port. Discharge your Freon into the low pressure port. Stop the Freon discharge when the Freon engage reaches the appropriate level.
A pressure switch a valve that shuts off the unit when the pressure is to low or to high
it does not have a high pressure switch all it has is a evaporator temp sensor/switch.
R134a goes into the low pressure port
