A binary pressure switch reads refrigerant pressure and is designed to open the compressor clutch circuit when pressure falls too low or climbs too high, which helps protect the compressor. The 20978 is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and offers these features:
Four Seasons engineers and tests its products and draws on more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience. If a faulty pressure switch is why your compressor won't engage or cycles on and off erratically, this part replaces it. Diagnose the system first, because a low refrigerant charge or an electrical fault can cause the same signs.

Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1989 Nissan Sentra. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
What comes with the switch?
The switch comes with the gaskets, O-rings or seals needed to replace it properly.
What are signs a binary pressure switch may need replacing?
An A/C compressor that won't engage, or one that cycles on and off erratically, can be a sign. Low refrigerant or wiring faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the system first.
How is the switch protected against corrosion?
It is zinc coated to help resist corrosion, and it is color coded so it is easy to identify.
