A few things here, in replying to this thread.
First thing is, if it really is that easy (and the sensor is that locateable) then all my observations about how hard it would be to get to are not applicable and this is welcome information. One of the things that makes this board great.
Secondly, the conversation about "needing" AC or it being a "requirement" and that whole conversation are way off base. I get it, some posters are all about making hard on SCSM and otherwise impactful, powerful statements, in general and all the time, proper contrarians and to challenge the person making the post with quick quips, etc (and some that's their entire posting style, at least selectively) and that's fine. (OR liking posts critical of said poster. Hey. Go right ahead.) But. About air conditioning... again, the post is missed, if you simply prefer a cooler cabin, want AC as a great way to cool off on a hot day, it is as simple if you want AC in your car, it's that simple in a car you drive and use, can't predict the heat etc.. you do not need a "medical reason" to have AC in a car that you desire and drive. Now. Autism spectrum folks generally have a low heat tolerance and don't like the heat anyways... and Florida and other areas you could make the case that it is "required".. I wonder how far back in history you'd gave to go back to argue from when AC wasn't invented yet and humans just dealt with heat etc... well again, the car has AC and this poster likes AC. Other people don't care if the AC works or not and that's fine, I suppose, but it's not me. I propose that that angle was off base and simply one of the aspects of sometimes talking about something on BITOG. But not really accurate. You want AC, you have AC available. That's about it.
Thirdly, now there is an AC line somewhere with a leak in it because the R134a doesn't stay in. That might (now) be the worst part, unless the AC line can be easily identified and replaced. Thankfully the compressor works and ideally you'd pull a vacuum upon reinstall.
Let me go pop out the glove box and see what I see. I'll go do that right now.
And, upon reconsideration, when it comes tike to DIFY to replace the line.. that's when I have to check the shop's honesty. If I could somehow find the leak myself before it goes in. (I already know patch products don't work.) That would keep them honest because usually, with AC work, they kind of tell you you should replace everything and I already know the compressor works as I've gotten it cold with it manually engaged and R134a in the system before it leaks out .
So let's see if anything seen here is the piece ..
No, I've never looked or even thought to look here before..
I don't see it ??
