john, i haven't bothered to measure the temp, i know it's not very cool but my wife hasn't complained and that's all that really matters. i'm here in the florida panhandle and daily temps are in the mid 90's and the humidity is usually in the 90's as well. that is when it's not actually raining. it ...

just a follow up, i got everything back together and had it charged. it's not as cold as i hoped but close enough. i might have another go at it in the fall when it cools off a little and do the charging myself. thanks again for all the input here.

thanks guys, i'll update after i get it charged.

thanks for all the input guys. so are we still of the opinion that polarity doesn't matter? tia.

pulled the "switch" out of the x valve. it was packed in grease and appears to be a sensor of some kind.

this is the old oem valve i removed with an interior pic below the "switch" on the body of the valve. going to apply 12v tomorrow and see what, if anything, happens.

03 dodge caravan. when removing the expansion valve i did not note the orientation of the two pin electrical connector, it is not indexed and looks symmetrical. the male plug will fit and lock in the female connector either way. does it matter? thanks.

sorry, i should have worded that differently. being a newbie, i'm asking if this price is to good to be true and has anyone here done business with this company. everything else i've seen is at least double that. thanks
