Thanks. I thought of that but unfortunately the switch that does not work is the high pressure switch not the dual pressure. The high pressure switch activates the condenser fans when the pressure goes above 220psi. The normal high range on the ac is about 213psi. Bottom line is that when I have my ac on and the car idles at a light the condenser fans do not turn on. Heat starts to build up on the condenser and the pressure starts to build up real high and the cooling inside the car starts to drop. I checked the condenser fan circuit and it does work. I can switch or ground the high pressure switch and fire up the fans. I can do the same with the high temp switch on the thermo housing. Personally I would just probably put in a switch and fire it up at idle like you suggested but my wife drives the car occasionally. I would hate to remove that switch with no schrader valve and lose all my expensive r12. See the photos.
