a couple weeks ago i hopped in the jeep (eugene) on a warm day to make a run to town and noticed no cold a/c.

local shop recommended by a coworker checked it out and said no doubt it needed a new compressor.

was not sure that i believed this mechanic so i spent a few minutes later in the day troubleshooting by jumping the low pressure switch plug with a paper clip and came to the conclusion that hopefully a low pressure switch might be all it needed since the compressor kicked on.

parts store had to order a new low pressure switch which i picked up and replaced old with new yesterday after work. lucky for me the a/c is blowing cold again.

just another reason to fix your own stuff as not everyone can be trusted. $35 low pressure switch and a few minutes of my time for the win.
