Default Trying to find a/c low pressure switch..

Hello ladies and gents...

I may be looking in the wrong places for this specific part but from what ive seen it only shows high pressure cut out switch.. I went to advance to get a pressure switch which i thought might be the low pressure switch on top of the accumulator but it ended up being the high pressure switch which i wanted to replace anyways.

Brings me to the question... Where can i get a low pressure switch???
The switch is located on top of the accumulator/drier assembly for the a/c system.

Thanks for the help..

In the book, it's called a "low pressure cycling clutch switch" and it's on top of the accumulator/dryer.

Yea i kept searching for low pressure switch.. then realized the clutch cycling part. Had to special order the part since no dealer or auto store has it in stock.. There needs to be a better way to get parts locally.

You need to be REALLY specific with the counter folks. I go in with an OEM P/N when I know what I need.

My local Advance does not carry, and cannot get, the 4 wire, highside switch for my 2000. The new guy tried to sell me something and kept telling me I have a 1996 model.
My regular counter guy came over and told the new guy to go clean the bathroom.
