I have a 2013 Highlander V6. AC compressor comes on intermittently for awhile now. Put a 5/16” neodymium magnet on AC flow sensor and AC works now. I ordered the Dorman flow sensor.

My question is, if I can’t successfully get the old sensor out and have to zip tie the new sensor onto an AC line, is this a long term solution? Or does the new sensor need to be put into same spot as the old one?
Thanks

Thanks for the response!

Needs to be put back where it came from..
If you loose the retaining ring, apply RTV engine sealant under it to hold in place.

Thank you for the response! Haven’t done the swap yet but curious about the snap ring. Earlier in the thread I think I saw a reference to a McMaster 98455A117 snap ring. Is that still a good reference?
