Ac fix free!

After suffering through 5 600 mile runs in 100+weather with that darn heater valve stuck half on I put some gauges on it, all good, compressor kept cycling though. Pulled pressure switch plug and found it slightly burned. It will make contact and work when plugged in almost all the way so made a loop from a zip tie, put in in female side, plugged 'er back in and liberally applied duct tape. A/C works great now.
