>>     Hi Jonathan:

>>

>>     Got everything buttoned up, vac'd things down, started the load with

>>     R-134 and stopped when high side static pressure hit 100lbs at 80F.

>>     Compressor would not kick in! I suspect it's the new pressure

>>     sensor on

>>     the new r/d since that is the only wiring I removed and then

>>     re-attached. The other sensor with leads is for the fan on/off

>>     based on

>>     temp if that's correct. But, I don't use this switch where I have the

>>     relay to kick the fan when the compressor clutch engages as per Stu

>>     Ritter. Been working fine that way for years.

>>

>>     Questions.

>>     Anyway to test that pressure switch?

>>     Is it normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) when it reads

>>     pressures as OKAY?

>>     Is this switch reading both high and low or just low pressure when it

>>     actuates?

>>

>>     With this bit of info I can either remove a lead opening a closed

>>     circuit or jumper the two leads to close an open circuit. Then I will

>>     proceed with the fill procedure once again. Kinda need to know how

>>     the

>>     switch performs before I load more refrigerant in the system.

>>

>>     Any info will be of help.
