Need help from the experts:

First, I replaced my ACC unit. This got my monovalve working and allowed me to use the "Off" button. Finally, no more searing hot air constantly blowing through the vents.

Next, jumped the cutout wires and clutch will now engage. Placed the wires back on the Pressure Switch and low an behold my compressor stayed engaged for about 15 seconds, then cut out.

So, I think I have a bad switch. I have not been able to take readings on the system, so I can't give you high and low side pressure.

Question is, if my switch is bad, am I looking at a complete evacuation in order to replace it?

Thanks for your help!
