According to the first post it does.
So, with the motor running and AC on, when you remove and jump the plug to the low side switch, the compressor does not turn on?

The compressor turns on when I turn the a/c on. It runs no problem.

It runs for 3 to 5 seconds or it stays on?

What seal? I'm guessing the low side port check valve?
