Help keep your A/C compressor clutch cycling as designed with the Four Seasons switch 35720, a system-mounted, preset cycling temperature switch, also listed as an A/C clutch cycle switch / thermostatic switch. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1977-1979 Chevrolet Impala, 1978-1979 Chevrolet Malibu and 1987 Dodge Grand Caravan, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

A cycling temperature switch responds to temperature in the A/C system and turns the compressor clutch on and off. This on-off cycling is intended to help keep the evaporator from icing over. Four Seasons engineers and tests its products and brings more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience to them.

  • OE-style connectors: used for the switch's connection to the vehicle's wiring.
  • Quality contacts: help ensure proper electrical conductivity.
  • Sealing components included: comes with the gaskets, O-rings, or seals needed to replace the switch properly.
  • Precision engineered: a preset cycling temperature design.

Signs this part may need replacing: the compressor clutch cycles on and off too quickly, the clutch does not engage, airflow from the vents drops as the evaporator frosts over, or the A/C blows warm air. Other A/C faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing the switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an A/C clutch cycle switch / thermostatic switch do?

It responds to A/C system temperature and cycles the compressor clutch on and off. This is designed to help keep the evaporator from freezing up.

Will this Impala switch fit my 1977-1979 Chevrolet Impala?

Yes. Four Seasons 35720 is listed as a direct-fit A/C clutch cycle switch for the 1977-1979 Chevrolet Impala.

What comes with the 35720 switch?

The switch comes with the gaskets, O-rings, or seals needed to replace it properly. It also uses OE-style connectors.

What are signs my cycling switch may be failing?

Common signs are rapid clutch cycling, a clutch that won't engage, reduced vent airflow from an iced evaporator, or warm air from the vents. Diagnose the A/C system first, because other faults can cause the same symptoms.

Why do the connectors and contacts matter?

The switch uses OE-style connectors for its wiring connection, and its quality contacts help ensure proper electrical conductivity in the compressor clutch cycling circuit.
