Replacing 2000 Silverado Compressor to a 4 Seasons

Post by johnrmclean »

I'm changing out the defunct Delco compressor in my 2000 Silverado 1500 to a new 4 seasons 58901. The 4 seasons appears identical to the Delco but does not have a pressure switch on the back end like the delco ( although it appears to have a port to insert one.) First , is this a low or high pressure switch?
Next , I have been advised by one source that this switch is not necessary and creates more potential problems than its worth. As a result most newer compressors eliminate it by grounding the connection out and that there is a service bulletin out with what to do with the plug. Can anyone advise me on this before I bolt the new compressor in. Should I eliminate it or try to replace the switch?

Thanks
John.

You transfer the switch from your old compressor to the new one.

Exactly what I did when I installed a new Denso compressor into our 2005 Yukon.
