A/C Pressure Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Volkswagen EuroVan, 2000 Volkswagen EuroVan, 1999 Volkswagen EuroVan, and 1997 Volkswagen EuroVan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A/C pressure switch has 3 functions. Switch will turn A/C compressor off when refrigerant pressure drops too low or rises too high and switch radiator fans on as pressure increases. A/C pressure switch contains both a high-pressure and low-pressure cut-out switch. Low-pressure cut-out switch opens the circuit and turns compressor off when pressure drops to 29.4 psi (2.1 kg/cm2 ) or less and closes and allows compressor to run when pressure rises to 43.5 psi (3.0 kg/cm2 ). High-pressure switch opens and shuts compressor off when pressure rises to 464 psi (32.6 kg/cm2 ). Switch closes and allows compressor to run when pressure drops to 348 psi (24.5 kg/cm2 ). A/C pressure switch also contains a switch which will turn radiator fan on at high speed when pressure reaches 232 psi (16.3 kg/cm2 ) and shuts radiator fan off when pressure drops to 181 psi (12.7 kg/cm2 ).
