I have a 2002 Dodge Stratus Sedan with 4 cyl engine. I want to charge the air cond system with a can or two of freon and need to get the compressor running so it will take it. I cannot find the low pressure switch to jumper and get the comp running. Any idea where it is?

it's on the discharge line near the compressor. If you have trouble getting to it, you might find it easier to just jump the compressor relay. There's 8 small relays along one side of the Power Distribution Center. The compressor relay is the second from the end near the middle of the box. Jump terminals 30 and 87 in the drawing on the right.

Power the dark blue and black wire on the magnetic clutch from the battery this will bypass the AC relay and cause it to engage the compressor-
