A/C does not work, it stopped suddenly. I had the refrigerant level checked, that is good, no leaks. I think it could be the pressure switch. My question is, does this particular car have only one? I can find only one. There is none on the compressor or the low-pressure line, only the high-pressure line. The switch I found I cannot get continuity on any of the pins, which is why I think the switch could be bad.

Here are the high and low side pressure sensors so you can swap them out if needed. I would use a test light at the compressor to see if it is getting power and you may have a clutch coil that is bad. Here are the A/C system wiring diagrams so you can see which wire to test and how the system works. This guide may help as well:

Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.
