Does anyone know where I can get a Fin Sensor Cycling Clutch Switch? I tried to pull two from XJs at a local salvage yard, but they both broke. The wire gets pulled from the copper tube when the tube snaps off the sensor casing.

This is the Fin Sensor Cycling Clutch Switch in the heater box.

Have you tried the dealer?

I don't see anything on RockAuto.

I'll double check, but I think this is a discontinued part

is this the switch for the a/c evaporator to keep it from freezing over?

I pulled mine out once when I was experiencing AC problems. That plastic case thing came out with the probe attached leaving an outer tube inside the air box. I simply reinserted it and rigged something to keep it in place. It still works like the first day.

Resurrecting a ooold thread here...
So can the 'thermister' or A/C cycling sensor be bypassed or is it needed ?
I get that it helps prevent the evaporator from freezing up, but here in the desert it really isn't an issue.

And has anyone accessed it without ripping out the entire A/C ducting ?

This is in a 1996 Sport...

Thanks...
