Condenser

The first step to repair the HVAC condenser core requires positioning the vehicle on a hoist set to neutral gear. First remove the refrigerant then take off the condenser outlet fitting nut; discard its O-ring seal while installing a new one with torque to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Start by uninstalling five bumper cover screws and the condenser inlet fitting nut while discarding its O-ring seal to tighten the new one at the same specification. Before installation detach the compressor manifold and tube bracket bolt while also removing the cooler line clip and the line routing clips that fasten to the lower radiator support. First properly support the lower radiator support and remove its four bolts before supporting the cooling module to take out the support. Start by disassembling the condenser core through the removal of its two bracket bolts and then remove the two condenser brackets. The installation should follow the reversal of removal steps while including new O-ring seals and proper PAG oil clean-up of the refrigerant system. The refrigerant system requires evacuation and testing after which it needs charging.

A necessary first step for A/C condenser servicing and repair is to perform a leak test on the core as part of suspected leakage before condenser removal. Begin by disconnecting the battery. Proceed to execute the procedure for Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery. Dismantle the nut and detach the fitting before you do the same procedure for the second fitting. Prior to work begin support the radiator while lifting the vehicle. Begin the service by detaching all screws then unfastening transmission lines from their clip and disconnecting auxiliary cooler lines. The procedure ends with condenser removal after all bolts are taken out and the lower radiator support along with its bracket. During installation operate in reverse order by following the removal procedure but fill the new A/C condenser core with PAG Compressor Oil YN-12-C, F7AZ-19589-DA, or an equivalent substance that satisfies Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B. The Refrigerant Oil Addition method should also be executed before using the chosen PAG Compressor Oil for O-ring seal lubrication.

Service and repair of the condenser core requires that you position the vehicle on a hoist with NEUTRAL gear selector position. Start by recovering refrigerant before you remove the needed components according to their specified order. The lines should be free of routing clips while the lower radiator support needs proper support before removing its bolts. The lower radiator support must have stable support until all bolts are successfully removed. The installation process requires the reverse execution of removal steps while adding clean PAG refrigerant compressor oil (F7AZ-19D589-DA, Motorcraft YN-12-C) but excludes using mineral oil (F73Z-19577-AA, Motorcraft YN-9-A) as lubricant for the A/C compressor. Must install fresh O-ring seals which received mineral oil lubrication before users reconnect any components involved in the A/C system which underwent disconnection. Before finishing the process complete system evacuation followed by leak testing and necessary pressure charging. A replacement suction accumulator becomes necessary only under two conditions: either a broken A/C compressor causing system contamination or damage to the accumulator itself exists.

Remove the compressor manifold and tube bracket bolt, disconnect the cooler line clip, and detach the line routing clips from the lower radiator support.

Lubricate the O-ring seals with the same oil used for filling the condenser core.

Conduct a leak test before removal.
