I just installed a new ac compressor and on the old one there is a screw in sensor of some sort with two wires coming out of it and i cant get it out. anyone know what that part is or what its for or where i can get one .please let me know thanks

 

sounds as though its for the ac clutch

 

theres the one wire from the clutch on the front thatis a single wire. the pice im talking about is at the back of the compressor

 

correct if i am wrong. but i believe that one is the sensor wire if something were to happen to it (or for temp possibly)

 

That should be an overheat sensor. Most of the replacement ones do not have them.

 

ok it screws in the back so i dont need it then.

 

No you do not.

 

thank you sir. i was trying to get mine out and it is all messed up and i couldnt find a new one. thank you so much for your help Tech.

 

Tech, I went out an looked at it. the wire that comes off new compressor plugged into one of those wires off that part that is screwed in. what do i put that single wire to if i dont use that part. do i just splice the single one from car to the wire on the compressor .

 

i actually fig it out there was a plastic cli[p that needed to come off. my only other quest is im trying to get the rubber line form the compressor to the dryer off and it wont come off. is it a reverse thread or something. I have a new dryer so i dont mind getting a new line as long as i can get it fast thanks

 

They can be a pain to get loose. One other thing to try it set the nut for the line on to the subframe and hit the nut a couple of times with a hammer on the flat spot so you do not mess the nut up.

 

i got the hose off it was reverse threads . I ran car and started to charge system and cant get the compressor to turn on any hints tips to get it working

 

Never seen a reverse thread line. But all that matters is you got it.
Are you getting power to the wire at the compressor?
Do you have power on both sides of the low pressure switch?

 

can i use a test light to check it. and if there is no power what does that mean also where is that switch located.

 

Yes use a test light.
The low pressure switch is in the line just before the evaperator connection at the firewall.
