The module is clipped to the top of the box. You can see it if you take the glove compartment out of the car. Two gray wires go from the module to the probe part which is inside the box. The probe and module are permanently connected.

u770017, are you sure you are talking about the thermostat or the pressure switch? those are the only 2 "switches" I can find in the civic a/c system.

if it is the thermostat, mk378 appears to imply that the module cannot be replaced by itself, he writes, "The probe and module are permanently connected."

mk378, do you mean that he needs to replace that entire box?

You need to take the box out of the car to be able to free the probe from its clip inside. Then replace the module/probe assembly, part #24 on the drawing.

It is possible to open up the module and unsolder the gray wires to the probe, but this is not an official procedure and if it's the probe that's bad it of course won't fix it.
