• Q: How to Service the A/C Accumulator on 2001 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Service of the HVAC accumulator begins by draining then collecting the refrigerant. The service requires removal of the A/C cycling switch electrical connector and evaporator to compressor suction line spring lock coupling from the suction accumulator while discarding both O-ring seals. During the next procedure detach the suction accumulator from the evaporator core while discarding the O-ring seal. A back up wrench will protect both the fitting and tube from harm when disassembling the suction accumulator. Proceed to uninstall the suction accumulator screw before removing its insulation cover along with the mounting bracket. You should execute the reversal of all removal steps to install the device. To install a new suction accumulator position the A/C cycling switch onto it and implement correct amounts of PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent oil with Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B for lubrication before using new O-ring seals treated with the same oil. In conclusion evacuate the refrigeration system then perform leak detections followed by charging the system.
