I recently had the system recharged.  About 3 weeks later the system went down
and my first thought was a leak in the system.  Back to the dealer I go to
verify that they indeed did a pressure check on the system.  They checked it
again and said that it is sealed.  They felt it was an electrical problem and
any further diagnosis would be chargeable.  I manually jumped the lowpressure
switch and on came the compressor!  So, bad switch right?    Unfortunately the
best price so far is $110.00 for this switch(ouch). If I have proper pressure
in the system and my compressor is working what damage could be done if I
physically jump this low pressure switch?  All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Willie
