Hello, this vehicle doesnt use a cycling switch. it uses a pressure sensor. this compressor runs all the time. there is a expansion valve that controls the amount of freon entering the evap core. here is how the compressor uses a pressure senor

The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor is a 3-wire piezoelectric pressure transducer. A 5-volt reference, low reference, and signal circuits enable the sensor to operate. The A/C pressure signal can be between 0-5 volts. . When the A/C refrigerant pressure is low, the signal value is near 0 volts. When the A/C refrigerant pressure is high, the signal value is near 5 volts.
The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor protects the A/C system from operating when an excessively high or low pressure condition exists. The PCM disables the compressor clutch under the following conditions:
• A/C pressure is more than 2979 kPa (432 psi). The clutch will be enabled after the pressure decreases to less than 1620 kPa (235 psi).
• A/C pressure is less than 179 kPa (26 psi). The clutch will be enabled after the pressure increases to more than 207 kPa (30 psi).

Is there a way to test the compressor for high pressure

If you are doubting the compressor is bad,remove the lines,after the ac system is discharged,and blow threw the condenser to see if it is stopped up,and go ahead and remove the orifice tube and replace it,you will have to do these things anyway if you replace the ac compressor.Rate please if this was helpful,thank you.

Where is the air conditioner refrigerant refill port located on 2002 pontiac montana?

Look near the radiator and find the 2 aluminum lines running from the condenser. If you trace those lines you will find a fitting on each of them. There should be a cap on them one says H or high and the other L or low. One is the high pressure line and the other is the low pressure line. Please be careful fooling with the AC system can be very dangerous to you and your car. The last thing you want is a face full of prion. Or to blow up your AC system because you over charged it. Good luck.
