Default 98 honda accord low pressure switch

can anyone tell me where I can find the low pressure switch for the ac on a honda accord se 97? My air isn't working. The compressor isn't seized and the fuses are good.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

PS sorry, the title says 98, but it's a 97

Follow the metal tubes from the firewall near the fuse box towards the battery. The pressure sensor is near the battery. You might be able to get to it easier from under the car (use jack-stands).

Unplug the switch, it has two wires going to it.

Before jumping it....

Get a volt meter and see if you have continuity (aka ~zero resistance or short) to ground on the yel/blu wire at the pressure switch when the a/c switch is turned on inside of the car.

You can also check the actual sensor while you are down there. The two pins on the sensor should also have ~zero resistance as well even when the car isn't running.

To bypass the switch.... just connect a wire across the two pins of the electrical connector (do this when the car is turned off).

Some other things you should check. Do both fans turn on when you turn on the a/c? Do you have 12V to the wire going to your a/c compressor?
