The bad pressure sensor would be the one which is mounted to the aluminum tubing under the hood by the sight glass. That can be diagnosed using the toyota service tool and/or by seeing that the system is properly pressurized, yet the compressor quickly cycles off.

After two weeks of waiting they are now pointing the finger at the compressor, which may have already been replaced from the previous accident. It was either the condenser or the compressor, the repairer kept getting them mixed up so i have no idea. Do you know where i can get a cheap compressor? Toyota are offering one for $1500+ but are going to look around for cheaper.. But.. they want to make money so most likely will charge me more then they buy it for?
