The A/C is FINALLY FIXED! How to replace the Compressor control valve for 2011-2015 Toyota Sienna

We have been dealing with A/C issues on our 2012 Toyota Sienna since last year with subpar cooling. The a/c works but it's just not as cold as it was, and struggles to keep things cool especially during the summer.

I replaced the Flow sensor which helped a little. I then hooked up a HVAC gauges set and the readings pointed to a clog in the system like the expansion valve was bad. I went to replace the expansion valve and sure enough it failed and I replaced it. After replacing it the a/c was cooler BUT still wasn't cool enough and knew there was another issue.

My last effort was one more part which was the Compressor control valve. It was MUCH cheaper than a new compressor and could possibly be the issue.

In this video I replaced the control valve and it did solve my issue BUT it ran into a major issue while replacing it.
