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.
