I have a 99 Volkswagen beetle and can not get the air conditioner to come on, I have replaced the compressor, the dryer, and the expansion valve.
The low side pressure is high and the high side is low on compressor.
I also need to no where the low presser switch is located.

What do you mean do I have teck contact?
we checked again and that is what the readings are.We have even taken it to a volkswagen dealership and they could not find out what was wrong with it.
Can you also tell me where the low pressure switch is located on the A/C
