Is the port your working on on the front seat or the backseat? Some king valves/or service valves have a port for a pressure switch or whatever that will remain open when the valve is front seated but the opposing port will be closed and vise versa did someone put the pressure switch on the wrong port? If it's just a worn out valve replace it, if you or the customer are to lazy or cheap to replace it you "could" add a brass access fitting onto the port with a sh valve core in it....
I tried front seating and backseating. I have several units the same and tried with another unit same thing thats why i thought I was doing something wrong. maybe both valves are broke they are old units new account.
If the liquid line service valve is fully backseated, the fan cycle switch will not bring the condenser fans on. If this is an RAUC, there's a relief valve downstream of the service valve; the relief valve opens at 235 psi, and is piped directly to the liquid line service valve in question.
