    Yes, that is a pressure sensor. Do you have a fan override switch to test the fan? If you have a Maxxforce engine the fan has a magnetic clutch that is variable speed and doesn't come on instantly like conventional air operated clutches. The fan can actually speed up and not make much of a sound change.

    Your picture attachments are not valid, I cannot see them. If the pressure is zero you have a bad pressure sensor or wiring. Unplug it and check the terminals for any corrosion. You can change the pressure sensor without having to vacuum the system.

    Are you reading 0 psi from Diamond logic? It will show 0psi if there is open in the circuit. Check the pressure sensor connector for any spread pins or corrosion.

    So my AC compressor went bad on my 08 Prostar... had my mechanic take a look at it. He told me it would be a few hundred bucks to fix it. I get the ridiculous bill for the parts today and I'm just not sure if all the changes he made are totally necessary. Just wanted to get some input from y'all.

    Compress 320
    Expansion Valve 89
    AC Sensor Kit 165
    Air Dryer Filter 115
    Sleeper Expansion Valve 175
    Safety Protection Valve 28
    AC Cooling 290
    Evaporator 575

    Sorry if my question is vague but does all of this make sense? With tax it's just short of 2k in parts!! Thanks in advance

    If the compressor does go bad and pumps small metal debris throughout the system, yes you have to replace everything he listed there.
