Thanks for doing this! I didn't know I had to move that sensor! Super helpful!

This was a helpful video. I had trouble replacing the switch in back until I went back and watched this, thanks.

THANKS very much! Because of your comments about the switch which caught my attention, I watched this video and solved my problem too --- which was "how the hell can or do I swap them out without breaking the plastic?" This dude clearly showed the solution (how its done) where other A/C videos never even bother to mention these switches.

Mine connector will not come out for nothing. It’s a Delphi on my jimmy. I’m wondering if it’s a replacement from the first owner

Exactly the information I was looking for. I had no idea whatto do about that sensor in the back. Though I might have gotten the wrong compressor. Thanks for showing us!

THUMBS UP to you!!! Thank you so very much.... I've spent lots of time researching what to do about my new compressor missing that switch on the back side. YOU are the only one to show us how to safety remove it at 5:31 and removal of the plug on the new compressor! I guess everyone assumes we would automatically know how its done. I personally was worried about breaking/cracking the old orange (in my case) part. Plus I read on blogs that you don't need the switch at all ... "it's just a safety feature" one person said. I didn't believe him though. BUT AGAIN, thanks for showing us a simple but important part of changing a compressor INCLUDING THE SWITCH TOO which others don't mention at all!

It's should come with a new switch for $200.00

Good Video. I have to do the same on my 1998 suburban ans also change out the accumulator. I always buy new with the lifetime warranty

wow! that was very informative info, now I know how to install my own compressor. Thanks a lot.

If it's the same style of compressor then that is the most likely leak. Just got done replacing the one on my 98 Yukon. Edit to add, got a kit that replaced the compressor, accumulator and orifice tube plus came with oil for under 400 bucks at autozone in California.

I have a question. Are you supposed to put the been orings on the end s of each line. To and from the compressor, the evaporator, condenser and accumulator as well?.... The lines come with a metal oring with a black rubber center. We keep getting there's a leak because we can't get it to vacuum.

Great video. What about the rear AC on that truck? Does any additional work have to be done to the rear system?

Man they want to charge me $1000 for everything. I found the same part for $180 and I can coerce the Firestone guy to do the discharge and recharge for free...so worth watching this video to do it myself.

How do you know how much pac oil is to be used?

Do u have to change drier or cleaner tank or small radiator

Great video

Great video! I am about to change the compressor and receiver/dryer on my 2000 Tahoe Z71 old body style like the 99..this indeed helps me with this. Question: Since I am also replacing the receiver/dryer..I am reading where that part also requires some sort of adding oil to it? Or..will the AC service shop I take it to..to evac/fill with refrig..do that?

Good vid bro I see a lot of these but it’s crazy to me nobody gives system a flush

Why not add the oil into the compressor? I’m considering trying this and I’m curious as to Why you wouldn’t fill the compressor with the oil?

Nice job bro.

Rock Auto charged me 270 for a alternator, serpentine belt, actuator, and ac compressor. These mechanics are robbing us.

great video the mechanic wanted to charge me $575 for the entire job... $375 for the compressor and the rest in labor and a additional $125 to fill the system.... hahaha I did it myself got the part for $125 and got it filled for $40 wow they sure know how to rip you off if you don't know how to do it yourself... geezz

could refrigerant possibly leaking from any where else? my 98 was purchased in 2002, by me. and i never used the ac until 2017. it was dry. when trying to refill the ac, it only lasted a month. thank you in advance, and thank you for the info!

Refrigerant could leak from virtually anywhere in the system. Charge it up with refrigerant that has dye in it. Then use a black light to find source of the leak.

2001 Tahoe, when I pulled the plug on the new compressor to swap my high pressure switch a blast of air under pressure came out....this is a new compressor I noticed yours didn't....why was there pressure? And or did I screw up? Being a new ac compressor I didn't thing it would have any pressure. Also it said it shipped with 3 oz of oil....I have not pulled the profile plate yet. But should I check it befor adding my oil...it requires 11oz.....thx

yeah part houses tell you it calls for for pag 150 is to heavy an will foam up an cause a high head pressure situation I use pag 46 on all gms an have never had a noise is sure or failure an never use reman compressors always delphi, sanden, or denso only use mineral oil to lube orings all pag oil will pull in moister an will corrode all fittings with pag oil on the orings

Harrison h6. Both of my 2000 silverado 5.3 trucks have them also. Seems like gm went with denso on most trucks later on due to them leaking from the case because there are no dowel pins that hold case alignment together.

Always scrape the paint off the bottom of the mounting pads on the compressor that paint will cause it to rock.

some call it high pressure switch,low pressure switch ,or even cut off switch.Works either way but it's the compressor cut out switch.They aren't actually needed unless you have a serious problem elsewhere in the system which can damage the compressor.

Hard to say without knowing the year, model and engine of your van. The location of the valves vary with each of those criteria.

9:41 why is it too noisy ?

Do not oil the o rings and torque the bolt that hold the lines to 25 ft lbs

Not the same for 95 and under for compressor

It was probably just the valve on your low pressure side..lol X )

That oil moves really slow

you forgat to put oil in compressor
