air conditioning

Where does a person go on here who has automotive background but is by no means a certified mechanic? I have to ask some questions of somebody who knows more than me about my 2000 Explorer a/c problem. Can y'all point me the right way? PS - Need to talk to somebody who is gonna understand...

Hi All, My 2008 Explorer is making a clicking noise when using AC or heat if I do not keep the temp control almost all the way on the cold side. If I move it we get a non-stop clicking/ticking noise from in the dash. Any thoughts one how I can determine what the problem is and fix it? Thanks...

Hey there, My ac doesnt work and I dont really use it in cars that it does work in, so since im going to be doing alot of replacing stuff in the engine compartment a little extra room would be great! MY question is can I remove the AC system without interfering with other systems and how would...

I don't know if I'm even in the right forum, so please forgive me and correct me if I am- cuz I'll likely have more questions monthly! Just joined, and I have several problems in which I looked up in various forums but couldn't "relate" to the answers...so I'm going to try a new post here to...

I'm having a tough time locating the vacuum hoses on my 2007 Explorer. The air flow stopped working on the dash, but from my continued research it suggests that the vacuum hoses may be damaged or dislocated. The issue is that I don't know what I'm looking for and simply trying to troubleshoot...

Hello All, I am new to this forum since my personal vehicle is a Powerstroke 6.0 diesel, but I am looking for information regarding my wife's 1998 Eddie Bauer (45,000 miles). Had it in the shop several times. It has an automatic climate control system but in A/C mode it will work for a few...

Just got my hands on a 93 eddie bauer automatic for 550$. Pretty sweet deal. Any way I need a new ac compressor and was wondering how to take it out from another ford at the junk yard and then place the new one in my ford.

how many blend doors are there in a 2003 Eddie Bauer where each side of the front can be adjusted to a different temperature?

Hi everybody. I have a 2002 Explorer Sport, and a few days ago the AC started blowing warm. I tracked it down to a blend door issue, but the problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to just temporarily modify the darned door to blow cold air. I've checked every post on...

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.

Hey I have a 1997 explorer XLT and whenever I turn on my air conditioning the compressor turns on and off every 2-3 seconds, personally I think its an electrical problem, any ideas?

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...

The AC compressor on my 2002 Explorer EB grenaded just before fall last year. Just got a new compressor, accumulator, and orifice tube (OT) for repairs. Took out all three, and notice second set of high/low pressure lines running back to rear evap coil. Now, the kicker is that the OT is on...

Hey everyone, I have a 95 explorer that surges very lightly at low speeds. During idle it fluctuates between like 7-800 and 1000. During the idle I can hear the compressor clutch kicking on and then back off. The that time is when the rpms are fluctuating. Additionally I have the check...

This is my first post - Great Forum!! Thanks for all the great info!! The Air Conditioning line that runs across the top of the radiator had a leak in it so I had it changed out (2005 Explorer) by a trusted mechanic. Naturally they had to bleed the AC system and then refill it after they...

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...

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...

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 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The problem I'm having has been "looked at" by the dealer. When I accelerate (not a jack-rabbit start) the temperature of the air coming out of the vents drops 10-15 degrees. Even on MAX. It is very noticeable. Usually 1 - 2 miles before it starts cooling...

I have a 2006 Ranger XLT 4x4. Is it normal for the AC to be working no matter what the settings - floor, vent, defrost? If I put the setting on outside air apparently the evaporator coil is still cooling the air as it can be 90 degrees out and the cab is comfortable. Putting the dial on AC or...
