I need to remove the Evaporator cover so I can clean the area around the evaporator. Can it be removed without disconnecting the a/c sytem? (man, I hope so) Can anyone tell me how to do it?

My 96 Explorer a/c runs (compressor clutch kicks in) whenever the panel knob is turned to any position except OFF and FEET (I think it's FEET). Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Do these pressure readings appear ok? Here are the latest readings: 1rst situation...... Ambient temperature- 72 Center dashboard vent temperature- between 39 and 41 Windows all open Vent fan speed- on the 2nd dot (that is- low speed) A/C switch on MAX AC Pressures- 175/20...

Year: 96 Make: Ford Model: Explorer Engine Size: 4.0 Refrigerant Type: 134a Ambient Temp: 77 Pressure Low: 30 Pressure High: 160 My a/c compressor runs constantly now that I put in the total amount of 134a (26oz)....maybe there's just a bit more (I have no way of measuring the amount...

Year: 1996 Make: Ford Model: Explorer Engine Size: 4.0 Refrigerant Type: R-134a Ambient Temp: 65 Pressure Low: 45 Pressure High: 140 I just replaced the compressor, orifice and dryer on my Explorer. Naturally, I flushed the system out. I put in 24oz of R-134a. (there is supposed to...

I've read that I'm to use 7oz of PAG 46 oil in my A/C system I'm rebuilding. Any opinions on this? Is there an easier way of adding the oil? Some guy at Autozone said to add a can of some sort of oil stuff through the Low Pressure side while the system is under vacuum. Any thoughts on...

Situation; 1. Compressor is seized (over the winter) is being removed and replaced. 2. Drier and orifice are being removed and replaced. Question: Typically, do you need to remove and replace condenser? Is it a pain to R&R the condenser? (yeah, I know- it's relative to your skill)...

I have a 96 Explorer 4.0L. I'm working on the A/C system as the compressor has seized over the Winter. I've heard talk of the "expansion valve". Where is it located? Should I replace it? Or.....is the expansion valve another word for the orifice? Thanks

I need to evacuate my A/C system after replacing the compressor. I'll be using one of those powered vacuum pumps from Harbor Freight. I understand I need a micron gauge to measure vacuum. Those things are expensive.....really expensive. Any ideas where to get one that's less expensive...

I think my low pressure A/C line has a crack in it and leaked so the system doesn't work (amongst other things) If it has leaked is a "recovery" of the R 134a necessary or do I just flush the system when I do the repair?

Does anyone have a step by step process for replacing the compressor in a '96 Explorer? I think it involves flushing and replacing a bunch of fancy parts and seals. I've read a little about it earlier. It doesn't sound too terribly hard (sort of) but I'll need a good instruction set...

The A/C compressor on my 96 Explorer apparently has seized over the Winter. When I turn the dial to A/C the compressor clutch kicks on but the shaft to the compressor won't turn so the clutch smokes. Of course I shut the A/C off. The A/C has always worked perfectly until now. Any ideas...

My 96 Explorer has a rumbling sound in the front driver side. I assume it's the wheel bearings. I just had an alignment and also the rear tires were rotated to the front. The rumbling was present before I had any of the aforementioned work done. The rumbling isn't that bad....but is...

I destroyed something in my '91 (either trans or rear) after towing too much weight. The car rumbles louder and louder the faster the rear wheels turn. IT IS NOT the drive shaft U joints (or whatever those + sign shaped things are called). Not wanting that to happen again to the '96 I just...

I need to know the location of the fuel line in the engine compartment. Does it split into 2 braided hoses near the power steering unit? If it does split into 2 braided hoses are those 2 hoses used to directly supply fuel to each side of the fuel injection manifold? (i.e. 1 hose...

I need the schematic for the power mirror switch, it's related wiring and motors on my '91 Explorer xlt- 4 door. Does anyone have a copy or can you tell me where to get one (for free). My 91 Explorer power mirrors aren't working properly. Only 2 directions (right and up) work on each of...

I have a Hitch Haul attached to the 2" receiver on my Explorer. It measures 20" x 60". I want to put a LARGE (over 12 cubic foot) box on the back of the thing for hauling stuff. Does anyone know of a box or a manufacturer of boxes (not made of steel) that'll satisfy my requirements? Yes...

I want to put a a sunroof in my '91 Explorer. Can anyone recommend a good supplier of sunroofs? What about leakage problems? Are there installation problems?

Car- Explorer XLT- 1991 Odometer- 191,000 I'm fairly certain I've got excessive vibration in the front wheels/bearings which has recently developed. It "feels" like I'm pulling a heavy load...like the drive train is working very hard. The Vibration begins at around 20 MPH. With...

Folks: Our 1991 Explorer XLT (187,000 miles) heater output isn't hot enough. Yes, it's warm with a slight tendency to get "burn your hand hot" when the engine RPM is over 2,000. However, at speeds around 45 mph or less the heater output is only slightly above warm. Under heavy load, like...
