A/C INOP.-HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH DISCONNECTED (REPOSITION LINE)

SUBJECT: A/C INOPERATIVE (A/C HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH DISCONNECTED - REPOSITION HOSE TO CONDENSER INLET LINE

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1991 "L" CAR W/2.2L

Condition:

----------- A/C high-side pressure switch connector becomes partially disconnected, or will not stay connected, causing the A/C to be inoperative.

Cause:

------- Due to the orientation of the A/C hose during assembly,the switch connector may contact the generator brace,with engine movement. (This movement occurs during engine acceleration/deceleration.) The combination of the connector making contact with the brace, and the engine moving, may partially "unplug" the switch. Refer to Figure 1.

Correction:

------------ Recover refrigerant and replace the hose to condenser inlet line "O" ring, using the proper handling procedures provided in the Service Manual.

Before tightening the joint, align A/C hose as shown in Figure 2, keeping this orientation while torquing the joint to proper specifications. Complete the procedure as provided in the Service Manual.
