[V8] Too hot for A/C to operate?

[Tony and Lillie]

In case you haven't got this resolved yet, here's what I did. Ours started 
the same thing around 95 or so (It's been up to 117 here) and I unplugged 
the high pressure switch. It is on the bottom drivers side of the condensor 
(red plug) I then put a piece of wire to short across it, and haven't had 
the problem since. When it gets hot outside, the A/C charge expands, just 
like everything else. It would also not be a bad idea to check the charge, 
and see if you have too much freon in the system.

Mine was fine, whick leads me to believe the High Pressure switch may get a 
bit weak over time.
