The Carquest Premium line of vehicle electronics are designed for OE form, fit and function for both import and domestic vehicles. The A/C Pressure Switch monitors system pressures, aiding in proper and efficient control of the compressor, fans and system levels. An improperly functioning A/C Pressure Switch will provide erratic or inaccurate actuation and operation, severely affecting system performance and function. Without reliable and accurate actuation from a properly functioning A/C Pressure Switch, critical components and the system as a whole are left unregulated and unprotected which can lead to excessive wear and tear on critical components and costly system damage.

Product Features:

Designed and manufactured with high quality materials, industry leading electronic components and strict quality controls. Engineered to meet or exceed OE performance and to meet the uncompromising demands of service professionals.
Direct fit replacement matches proper OE fit, form, and function and ensures trouble free installation of your A/C Pressure Switch.
All units are tested using advanced end-of-line equipment that pressurizes the switch, confirms proper calibration and functionality and checks for leaks to ensure each part meets manufacturing specifications before packaging.

GM Genuine Parts A/C Orifice Tubes are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors. These tubes, which separate the high and low pressure sides of the air conditioning system, control the flow of low pressure liquid refrigerant into the evaporator. The orifice tube is essentially a calibrated restriction located at the inlet to the evaporator. This causes the necessary pressure drop to allow the liquid refrigerant to evaporate within the evaporator and absorb heat. Since the orifice tube is fixed, the system is regulated by either cycling the compressor clutch or by a variable displacement compressor. GM Genuine Parts are the true OE parts installed during the production of or validated by General Motors for GM vehicles. Some GM Genuine Parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco GM Original Equipment (OE).

Product Features:

Restores A/C performance due to restricted orifice tubes
Some GM Genuine Parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco GM Original Equipment (OE)
GM Engineers design and validate OE parts specifically for your Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac vehicle
Original equipment parts are designed to work with your GM vehicle safety systems — aftermarket replacement parts may not meet the same OE safety regulations, depending on the part type
GM regularly updates production and service part designs to integrate new materials and technologies

The engine coolant temperature sender, not to be confused with the engine coolant temperature sensor, is located anywhere within the engine cooling system and contains a thermistor that changes in resistance value as the thermistors ambient temperature changes. The engine coolant temperature sender is fed 12 volts and is typically used in conjunction with a gauge in the instrument cluster to provide a visual representation of the engine coolant temperature condition.

Product Features:

Tin plated lead frame prevents corrosion and ensures a reliable terminal connection under adverse ambient conditions.
Lead frame terminal size and location determined using image dimension measuring system or 3D laser scanner.
Thermally conductive grease within the housing providing the most accurate temperature transfer from the engine to the thermistor.
Plated brass or aluminum housings to prevent housing corrosion, ensures effective heat distribution to thermal element, and ensure a secure and leak-free thread mount.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD), laser scanning and 3D printing – utilizing Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA) – in the connector terminal design process ensures speed-to-market and a precise connector fit guaranteed.
