Default A/C question

Does anyone how to bypass the stupid little box that is on the low pressure line becuase I think it is messed up.It wont let the compresser engage unless I move it around a little then it will engage then when I stop messing with it it will disengage again its really making me mad!

Are you talking about the switch up by the firewall on the passenger side?

just connect the two wires on the back of it. that will get you by, but i would recommenced getting a new high pressure switch as that it the only thing that protects your ac system from blowing up if something goes wrong
