A/C recharge question

Chevy S-10 '97 6 cylinder extended cab



I need to know how to do the following regarding the air conditioner:



"If the clutch cycles off, you can pull the low-pressure cycling switch plug from the accumulator and attach a jumper wire." My A/C compressor will not run so I know it's low on Freon. I have to refill every season. Never done it myself.



Is the silver cylinder the accumulator?



For a jumper wire, do I just use any electrical wire?



Where does the wire go from and to?



Thanks, Gary

The two "holes" in the plug you pull off the low pressure switch on the accumulator. You are making it so the low pressure switch is on all the time by jumpering it. Don't run the system that way other then to recharge it. If it lost the charge suddenly (rather then over a period of years) you might want to fix the leak first.
