Tools Required

1. Recover the refrigerant the system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
2. Clean the A/C high pressure switch area before removing the snap ring.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the A/C high pressure switch (2) from compressor.
4. Remove the A/C high pressure switch snap ring using theJ 5403 .
5. Remove the A/C compressor high pressure cut-off switch (2) from the compressor.
6. Remove the old O-ring seal from the A/C high pressure switch cavity using the J 9553-01 .

1. Lubricate the new O-ring using new 525 viscosity refrigerant oil.
2. Install the new O-ring into the groove in the switch.
3. Lubricate the control switch housing using new 525 viscosity refrigerant oil.
4. Install the switch (2) into the compressor until the switch bottoms in the cavity.
