The hard line is where the A/C Compressor Cut-Out Switches is. The A/C Compressor Cut-Out Switch detects when refrigerant line pressure is too low. It switches the system off then on again to give higher pressure. If a rise in pressure occurs, the high pressure side pressure cut-off switch shuts the system off. An automotive air conditioning technician must discharge the air conditioning system. Removing the battery. For models from 2008 and earlier, remove the passenger's side headlight assembly. Disconnect the power connector from the A/C Compressor Cut-Out Switch. Using two wrenches, release and remove the A/C Compressor Cut-Out Switch. For models from 2009 and newer, remove the electrical connector from the A/C Compressor Cut-Out Switch. Find the A/C Compressor Cut-Out Switch and unscrew it. Ensure all models are lubricated with clean refrigerant oil of the appropriate type on their switch O-ring. Attach the new A/C Compressor Cut-Out Switch into position by hand using two wrenches, and then tighten securely. Reattach the electrical connector. The perpetrator who removes such a system is supposed to evacuate, recharge and leak test it.
