    FYI - I found it on the left bottom side of the condenser, off of the tube that runs down that side. Access is the same way area you would do to replace the fog light.

    It moved on the P2 cars. I would check closer to the compressor and receiver/dryer. But the question is why? They seldom fail.

    Is the pressure too low? Is the AC not working? Does the AC quit after cooling for 10 minutes?

      The compressor never cycles OFF. The pressure on the low side stays at 20 psi, but the compressor does not stop. I understand it should cut out when the pressures goes below 24 psi.

        On my 850, slightly older technology, the compressor cycles off at 17psi. With the high FL temperatures, if this is a 'northern' car, you may be running with more R143a than needed. It shouldn't be a problem as the ECC will blend in fresh air, but you may experience freezing at the evaporator core, which will turn off the compressor.

          It is a Texas coast car. The low side reads 20 and high side is 125; so i am thinking i need to add 134, except i already added two cans.
