My new compressor has a high pressure switch as opposed the superheat switch the old A6 compressor had.
Question. The old superheat switch had a single male prong sticking out for the female electrical connector to attach to.
The new high pressure switch does not have a male electrical connector. I'm not sure what sort of electrical connector is required.
Anybody have experience in this?
I've attached a pic of the back of the compressor showing the high pressure switch.

 

I don't see a pressure switch. I do see a 'pop-off' valve....but that's not the same thing. That's not an electrical device. It's a mechanical valve that trips at 400 psi or some such number

The pressure switch would go into one of those holes that is capped off with a plug and a snap ring

I wonder if that compressor is designed to take either a pressure switch or the superheat switch. If so, it probably matters which hole you insert the switch into.

Is there an info sheet with the compressor?

There is an info sheet. But I don't remember it saying anything about the switch itself. Only that the compressor is of the type that has the high pressure switch.
Crap. I spent all day replacing that damn compressor. I hope I don't have to pull it again to get the switch installed. I guess I assumed that "pop off valve" was the switch.

 

I found via 4 Seasons web site the correct switch to use.
But, it is a two terminal switch. My Jag wiring only has the one wire. Is this the correct switch? How do I connect? Also, does anybody know which port the switch would be installed in?
Thanks for any input.
