Thanks for any advice. > Yes, that's the freeze protection sensor (a thermistor). It should be tucked into the fins on the top of the evap, a couple or three inches from the refrigerant inlet fitting (that's where it'll start to freeze if it does). There's usually some of the black mastic (like around the TXV) that's used to hold it in place. Keith Hughes '86 Westy Tiico (Marvin) |
