Of course #7 is the problem, should be between 3-30.
That is the reading from the pressure switch on the drier.

By looking at the other readings, can I wager a guess that it MIGHT be a defective pressure switch?

Or the system is empty.

With the gauges attached and engine idling, I am reading about 186 lbs on high side and about 36 lbs on low side.

Switch?

It appears that the pressure switch has 3 contacts (see pic below). Can someone tell me what I should measure across the switch contacts with a dvm and what the wires connect to? I know some guys on here have said they shorted the contact wires to test and make sure it was a defective switch. Across which of the 3 wires? :confused:
