Replaced all 3 sensors and it did not fix the problem.

Any more info on it? A dealer replaced all 3 switches? And what else did they say?
Read through the thread I posted- cdixon found the toothed belt for the compressor for less than $10 or so-maybe your belt is the issue-

Aside from the belt, the electrical connections feeding the FAL could have a bad contact. Then, outside of the FAL itself, there a relays I the car, and a 40 amp fuse. So I'd look at those. I don't know the history. of your car, but in some cases a previous owner gave up on it and had the system coded out. I would imagine if you took it to a dealer, they would have connected PIWIS and re coded if that was the case. That's what you would think-but member cdixon took his car to a shop to have it reconfigured with Piwis, and they "were unable to"-pure incompetence.
He got his own PIWIS, coded it in himself. All screen shots, documents are on the thread. If DIY is not your thing, you could get a competent indie to reconfigure it. 3 switches at dealer prices is a lot of money to just give up-
One member, 00 Scrub, unfortunately had an electric motor and pump ruined by water/moisture. He took his entire unit apart and that's major damage. It had to be a very deep puddle after a rain storm, no one else had that kind of damage.
So I suggest checking out the other possibilities. The black plastic cover can easily be removed with the unit on the car, and if the belt snapped it's a very cheap replacement, slips in by hand.
