2000 Ford E-150 Econoline A/C Hose Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the A/C Hose for auxiliary climate control on 2000 Ford E-150 Econoline?

  A: Service of the HVAC hose/line for auxiliary climate control starts by draining then collecting refrigerant. The grounding cable of the battery needs disconnect and some coolant needs drawing from the engine system. The first step is to detach both the engine air cleaner together with the air cleaner outlet tube followed by moving the compressor discharge line isolator and then unscrewing it. The service technician must disconnect the refrigerant lines linking the condenser core by removing compressor discharge lines and condenser to evaporator tube shafts which require wrenches fitted on each fitting point to guard against damage. To disconnect the A/C evaporator core fitting you first need to remove its screw then apply a wrench to each side of the fitting. Start by removing screws then clamps from the four clamps. Proceed to raise the vehicle before disconnecting the underbody tube spring lock coupling. Finish by lowering the vehicle and removing the condenser to evaporator tubes. To service the condenser to evaporator tube for installation use PAG compressor oil together with YN-12c and F7AZ-19589-DA or any equivalent that meets Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B and add the correct amount of oil before routing the tube. The vehicle needs another lift for underbody tube spring lock coupling attachment before the vehicle descends. Lubricate the new O-ring seals in the A/C evaporator core fitting with PAG compressor oil before installation of the fittings followed by screw attachment with wrench utilization at both fitting sides. Link the condenser core refrigerant lines through application of PAG compressor oil to the new O-ring seals then join the condenser with the evaporator tube followed by the compressor discharge line while using wrenches on each fitting part. The procedure requires you to attach the compressor discharge line isolator along with the screws and to complete installation by securing four clamps with their respective screws. The procedure requires replacing the engine air cleaner along with the air cleaner outlet tube before performing a filling operation on the engine cooling system and reconnecting the battery ground cable together with evacuating and charging the A/C system.
