2000 Lincoln LS A/C Condenser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Condenser on 2000 Lincoln LS?

  A: Service or repair tasks on the HVAC condenser begin with the safe disconnect of the battery. A leak test must be performed on the A/C condenser core before performing its removal. The next step requires execution of the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure. Start by disconnecting the air outlet tube before placing it aside during the next step of removing the nut and disconnecting the peanut fitting attached to the A/C compressor discharge line. The LH sight shield and air deflector must be separated by removing the screws after vehicle support through a push-pin and side-clip removal process. You should disconnect the peanut fitting from the A/C receiver drier inlet line by first removing the nut before loosening the LH bolt. The condenser core requires support before the removal of the RH bolt allows lowering the condenser core down. The installation process requires following the removal procedures in reverse order and performing correct service of the new A/C condenser core by using PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil YN-12-C, F7AZ-19589-DA, or equivalent oils which fulfill Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B. Also apply the same PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil on the O-ring seal. Installation of a fresh receiver drier becomes necessary whenever you replace the A/C condenser core because system contamination prevention demands a new receiver drier installation.
