The compressor on my 2002 Sport Trac does not ever move when the AC controls on the dashboard are turned on an any postion. After reading several posts, I understand that one troubleshoot method is to 'jump' the low pressure switch for a second or two to see if the compressor turns on for those few seconds. I want to perform this test but am not completely sure how to do it correctly/safely and thought I would ask so I don't make things worse.
I believe this is what I should do:
- Start the motor
- Turn the AC controls to Max
- Disconnect the connector attached to the AC cycling switch (located near the AC low side port valve)
- Use a paper clip or similar method to short the two female ports on the removed connector.
- See if the compressor starts to turn/move.
Have I got this right?
