Need to check freon level first, low pressure switch will shut off a/c compressor if system is low on freon.

If want change the low pressure switch it is old. But the system should be evac for 20 minutes and refilled with some pag oil. Pressures should be low side 20-35 and high side with aux fan running 180-220 psi
