Thumbs down High Side Pressure switch

How can I check the High Side Pressure Switch on the AC. Fan does not come on when AC is on. Fan works when engine temp rises.

What you just described is not the switch but the low speed part of the fan. It should come on with the A/C.

Thumbs down Re: High Side Pressure switch

is that one of the relays that is under the hood that could be bad? I notice there are two in the fuse panel under the hood.

Yes, The high speed relay can be swapped with the horn relay to see if it's working but the low speed is a separate switch. There might be a way of testing it but I don't know how.
