Title: Air con pressure sensor, getting the electrical connector off
Post by: ksamyui on January 01, 2023, 01:36:04 pm

Been trying to change my AC pressure sensor this morn, but access is super tight.

I can’t get enough space/figure out how to get the electrical connector off, any tips?

Think easiest way is using a 17mm crows foot spanner . Heres an old post i found on the forum;

Cheers; yeah saw that one. It's not so much getting the thing out, it's just getting the electrical connector off so I can unscrew the sensor. I can barely get my hand down to the sensor, let alone press any tabs. Thinking at the moment that if I undo the sensor 1/4 turn, I might be able to get slightly better access to the electrical connector's clip.  :thinking:
