Signs this switch may need replacing include a compressor clutch that will not engage, cycles erratically or stays engaged, frost on the evaporator with reduced airflow, or warm air from the vents. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the A/C system first. If a failed cycling switch is the cause, this part replaces it.
