Where is the AC low side service port?
The low side service valve is located in the line that runs from the compressor through the evaporator (firewall) and up to the condensor on the low pressure (suction) side of the system.
Can I bypass AC low pressure switch?
Many systems have both high and low pressure switches to protect the compressor from very low and very high pressures. In your case, if your system is working properly, you should be able to bypass the switch temporarily until you can replace it.
Where is the low pressure side of my home AC?

What causes low pressure switch trip?
Things that can cause the low-pressure switch to trip include: Low refrigerant charge because of a refrigerant leak. Blower motor failure in the air handler. Plugged evaporator coils or a blockage of airflow.
How does a refrigerant work on a Subaru Forester?
Recharging the freon in your AC system is an inexpensive and easy first step to restoring the cooling capacity of your A/C system. Most refrigerants include a leak sealer that will seal small leaks in addition to filling the R134a refrigerant. The A/C system in your Forester consists of a compressor that is belt-driven, an evaporator and freon.
Why does my Subaru air conditioner shut down?
So, the radiator kept the engine safe, but when the fans were kicking on, they were blowing A LOT of hot air at the evap unit. That would trip the AC temp sensor and shut down the AC. Yes that will happen if the radiator is clogged enough to limit air flow, thus not allowing the proper temp drop needed to take the heat out of the AC system.
Why is my 2004 Subaru Forester blowing hot air?
When the air conditioner in your 2004 Subaru Forester starts blowing hot air, you likely have a freon leak. Recharging the freon in your AC system is an inexpensive and easy first step to restoring the cooling capacity of your A/C system.
