a/c

The AC pressure line from the front to the rear is leaking refrigerant, and the part is no longer available from Ford. They say the air conditioning just can't be fixed. Anyone have any experience with this? 2002 Explorer V8 4X4.

I had some A/C problems a while ago - basically, the compressor clutch was cycling rapidly (2-3 seconds) at idle before it eventually died completely and the compressor didn't engage at all. After taking it to Midas and having the system recharged, it still didn't work so they offered to...

Whenever I turn on my AC I hear the compressor click on, then a second or two later it clicks back off and repeats itself as long as the climate control knob is on AC or MAX AC.... any ideas?

I have been looking for a guide on what the pressures on the high and low side should be. It is 104F in Las Vegas today, and I went to check since the air is coming out about 70F The low side at idle was a constant 50 and the high side was a constant 350, that seems a little high, but with...

So about 1.5 years ago after "winter" my a/c would not turn back on. I live in Texas and have my whole life so driving around in 100+ doesnt bother me at all. But just for the reason of me wanting everything on my ride to work, I figured I better get it going again. I know the condenser is...

2002 Condenser & Drier R&R---Lessons Learned Lessons Learned on this job: Not too difficult, knocked this out in 3 hrs at local AFB Auto Skills shop with my 16 yr old son. Shop Techs had the hammer on everything evacuation and recharge, they used an automated machine where the Tech hooked up...

Blower motor only works on high. - 1996 Explorer Limited w/climate control - I have replaced the control unit and the blower motor resistor module. My blower still only works on high. Does anybody have any suggestions? Also, where can I purchase a rt rear auto adjust air shock for this...

This morning I turned the vehicle on and had the A/C at max to cool it down. Within in a minute it shut off and nothing was blowing. No A/C no deforst, nothing hot or cold. I tried all settings and got nothing. Now I turned on the back vent and that still works. Any ideas??? Its hot this...

Hi, My 2000 Explorer XLT's A/C has always worked great until this past summer. It started blowing slightly cool air, then warm air. I bought a recharge kit with a guage. When I hooked it up it said it was almost full. I filled it the rest of the way and it's stayed full ever since...

I have an 08 SportTrac XLT with about 34k miles, I've noticed for about the past year that the A/C smells like mold/urine when I first turn on the car. It has been getting worse too. Any ideas on whats wrong and how to fix this?

Ok I am sure my problem has been answered some where here but i cant find it. So here it goes. I have a 2003 Explorer, 4.0L, 4 door (if it matters) and all of my vents work perfect except my front widshield defroster. When I switch to the windshield blower, I get VERY little air through...

I just replaced my entire AC system, all parts except the liquid line from the evaporator to the condensor and the sensors on the low and high side. The AC will blow ice cold occasionaly but most of the time it is just margionally cold, bearable, but should be a lot colder. The 134a levels are...

I am having an A/C problem. When I switch my a/c on it takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes or so to engage. Once engaged it works great and blows ice cold. After I stop for a period of time, the aforementioned problem starts all over again. Does this sound like a clutch problem or something else...

So recently my A/C has been getting warm. About a month ago i bought a recharge from Advanced and tried to recharge the system. That did not do much at all. The Max A/C on full blast right now blows hot. I thought this may be a blend door problem but due to that fact that about a month ago it...

Hi All, My A/C has not been working. When I push the button the light goes on and it blows air, but it doesn’t get cold. Today I had the truck running and the hood open. I pushed the A/C button to see if the compressor came on. It seemed to come on but after a few seconds it turned off...

Hey guys. My A/C is not working as good as it was before. It still works pretty good at highway speeds, but when in a city or parked it gets pretty warm in a car, and here in Florida specially in summer time - lets say - it gets little annoying ;) So I hooked up my A/C gauge and it shows about...

My AC clutch cycles continuously when not in defrost or AC modes. If I'm correct, there should be no need for it to keep cycling during the vent modes. It also cycles quite rapidly. Any ideas? Just recharged it and am not sure what normal operation is since its been quite a while. Is it a...

Hi there,I have a 98 Ranger 4.0 4X4 xlt and this is my first time working on an a/c system. Trying to get the tube apart with the oriface tube inside. I have the disconnect tool but the line won't budge apart. I sprayed some penetrating oil on the spring lock and hopefully this will help...

Ok, i just replaced the entire ac system on my dads 92... the first time flushed evacuated and charged it, i realized a schrader valve was bad after i pulled off the ac gauges. so i EVACUATED and recharged it again, however the second time i tried to charge it, the system didn't get nearly as...

A/C doesn't blow cold at all. I bought the A/C manifold gages from Harbor Frieght and tested the system. The outside temperature was about 90 degrees. The low side gauge read 20 to 55 psi as the compressor cycled on and off. A complete compressor cycle was about 10 seconds. The high side...

Hello all. I have an odd problem with my AC. I turn it on and it works for about 30 seconds or so, then there is a loud SLAP behind the dashboard, on the passenger side, and it blows out hot air. I can turn it off, then turn the AC back on and get the same thing...30 seconds of heaven, then...

I have a hole that has worn into the smaller A/C line right under the air cleaner box. There is a strut mounting bolt that rubs on this line and has finally caused a full evacuation of my freon. Anyone else have this issue? Only 38000mi on a 2003 XLT. Trying to get Ford to cover it, will...

This morning the climate system in my '01 Explorer Sport was working perfectly.... until I jumped in for the commute home, which is when I noticed that the heater was not working. I pulled over, restarted the car... still nothing. I tried the AC.... nothing. I still hear the "clicks"...

I have a 2000 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. I need to replace the heater core ASAP but after seeing a video procedure online it said I must evacuate the A/c in order to disconnect the line from the blower motor so the blower can be removed from the firewall to access the bolts on the engine side...

I am a newbie, so please forgive me if I make unintended errors in etiquette here. I have a 97 Mountaineer w a 5.0 L engine. It has a whopping 172,00 on it and seems to be running pretty well, when I can afford gas to get it out of the driveway, that is. Here is my issue neither the heat nor...
