1993 Aerostar with a rear A/C freon leak.

Dan Hutton · 06-19-2012, 11:26 PM

Would anyone have knowledge of or know where to get a hold of an AC hose routing diagram for 93 Aerostar with rear AC?
The AC started loosing its charge a couple of years ago, I've had it in for AC service two times where the mechanics charged and checked with UV light for leaks........no luck. I thought I might try to track down/ inspect the hoses and fittings & possibly replace the seals.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the Aerostar section. How do you know that it has a freon leak from the rear A/C if no leak was found?

1993 Aerostar with a rear A/C.......... freon leak.
This is how the original post should have looked..........must have condensed during the posting.

The freon leak is unknown, and the subject is 93 Aerostar w/ rear AC

Sorry about that........

Does your front A/C work?

Front AC is not working either..........its all 1-system as far as freon goes

That's what I suspected. The leak could be anywhere, so don't assume that it's a leak from the rear A/C. Check the high side cap for fluorescent dye. It sometimes gets over looked. We usually see the low pressure side since we fill it, and check the pressure from that side.
