    AC not working in 92 Accord. Holding charge, appears that the compressor
    doesn't kick on when the switch is pressed. Any ideas?

    A common problem on these units is a bad low pressure switch. Unless
    you have recently had is serviced and had a chance to overcharge, I
    would suspect this.

    You can jump the switch to test if it's working. Probably not a good
    idea to leave it jumped if's bad. It's there for a reason, most
    likely to protect the compressor. On a '91 DX it's on the drivers
    side someplace near the canister with the viewing glass.

    I tried jumping my sensor years ago to see if there was too little gas
    for the compressor to work. When jumped the compressor worked. I
    then filled the system (converted to r134a) and worked fine for a few
    more years when I had to refill again. It's not worth it for me to
    fix such a small leak on such an old car.
