Does anyone know if the compressor high side switch on the back of the Delphi A/C compressor is a compression fit or screwed in or something else.
The reason I am asking is I bent it while doing a intake seal. The weather turns hot no A/C so I recharge it, that is when I heard the SSSSSSSSSSSSSS sound. Leaking out the compressor high side switch which is now sitting a little crooked. Is it hooped or can I pull it out and reseat it with a new o-ring?

 

I think it just sits in there with an oring on the inside edge and a cring on the outside.

 

its pushed in and held in by a snap ring you need to take the compressor out of the cradle to work on it take it out and see, you might need to get a new one though make sure you lube the o-ring with ester oil

 

The system needs to be emptied to trouble shoot as removing the switch would open the system to atmosphere. I would recommend replacing the switch while it is out. Then you should vacuum the system down prior to recharge to make sure there are no other leaks.

 

yes it just slips in an a oring around in with the snap ring. dont forget to replace ur dryer if u have the system for a long time thay r realy cheap (just my 2 pennys)
