Yes there is,  a  cut off switch from a R134 equipped crown Vic or F series is a direct swap  :D


Lies! Okay, maybe it will. I'm curious on the price as I assume both work by turning a screw but if one's cheaper, it'd be good to know.

I grabbed a bunch of those switches at the boneyard. Some had the right plug for the harness,some didn't.The one from the Crown Vic seems to be what they used.Still working great after 8 whole miles and literally MINUTES of driving.

I dont have a manual, but I think the switch on the accumulator is the low pressure switch.... normally there is a Temp sensor that is stuck between the fins in the evap.... this Temp sensor is what cycles the comp when the temp gets to 34-36 degrees... right before freezing up... at least that's how a Nissan works...

I dont think we have them in our Fords
 
 I did a little more research and best I can tell the R12 switch is white and the R134 switch is yellow .
Don't take this as etched in stone I may be wrong , but I think that I'm correct
Fox-less at the moment

The Thunderbirds utilized the low pressure switch to regulate the evaporator temperature. There is no direct monitoring of the evaporator, though one isn't really needed.
