@@ashbyash7915 you don't leave the jumper wire in all the time that's only to kick it on so you can charge the system. Once your system is charged you pull the jumper out and plug the plug back in. As long as you don't have a major leak and loose everything out of the system again the compressor should kick on and off like it normally would. Don't leave the jumper in as you may damage the compressor.

Is it true that if you have to jump the low pressure switch it's probably already damaged by the ac system running too low/empty on refrigerant? The system should first be checked to see if it has enough refrigerant.
@gmag1969
3 жыл бұрын
The reason you jump out the low pressure switch is to make the compressor run so you can add to the system. Once the system gets so low the switch stops the compressor from running to keep from damaging the system.

I just read this online: NEVER! Air conditioning compressors need a constant supply of oil to prevent catastrophic failure, and it’s the refrigerant that carries the oil through the system. That’s why car makers install a low pressure switch-to prevent the compressor from running if the system is low on refrigerant. DIY recharging kits tell you to recharge through the low pressure port while the compressor is engaged. But if the system is low on refrigerant, the clutch will never engage. Some DIYers then hotwire the low pressure switch to force the compressor clutch to engage while they recharge. BAD MOVE. At that point you’re running the compressor with little to no oil. You may get it to accept a charge, but you may have already damaged the compressor before the system reaches full charge. NEVER try to bypass the low pressure switch. Doing so will force the compressor to run with inadequate oil and can destroy the compressor.
