2002 Ford Taurus Evaporator Parts Q&A

• Q: How is the evaporator core serviced as a core and housing assembly on 2002 Ford Taurus?

  A: The service for the evaporator core must include its housing assembly components along with the evaporator core along with internal doors and seals and door linkage. The service begins with evacuating the heater core and evaporator core housing before proceeding to uninstall the heater-to-dash panel seal then the air conditioner tubes-to-dash panel seal and air conditioner evaporator drain tube seal. The service for vehicles equipped with Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) begins with the disconnection of the electrical connector from the Remote Climate Control (RCC) module followed by the removal of two nuts then separating the vacuum harness finally taking out the RCC module. The staff should start by taking out the screws and shield and then disconnecting the electrical connector before removing the temperature blend door actuator. Release the assist spring and lever of the evaporator damper door by separating them carefully without bending the lever. The vacuum harness on vehicles with manual climate control needs to be detached from its bracket point. The first step to remove the heater core requires you to unscrew its cover before rotating the temperature blend door to take out the heater core. Cars with manual climate control need additional steps that include removing the blower motor together with the blower motor resistor. The EATC vehicle process requires the vacuum hose detachment followed by a combined extraction of both the blower motor assembly and in-car temperature sensor hose removal. Next proceed by removing the bracket together with the recirculation air duct before disconnecting the vacuum hose followed by screw removal. Remove the vacuum control motor by detaching the two labeled vacuum hoses followed by disconnecting these vacuum lines. Follow the vacuum and wiring harness installation instructions mentioned at removal time and then install the vacuum control motor and screw before connecting the vacuum hoses. Replace the shield followed by the recirculation air duct and bracket together. The installation of EATC vehicles requires first inserting the in-car temperature sensor hose before adding the blower motor with speed control elements as separate components. The blower motor together with the blower motor resistor needs to be installed in manual climate control vehicles. You should install the heater core with the cover following installation of the temperature blend door rotation. The vacuum harness requires installation onto the mounting bracket which serves manual climate control vehicles. Affix the metal link and A/C evaporator case damper door lever along with its assist spring while avoiding any damage to the lever. The temperature blend door actuator installation requires its electrical connector to be attached. The shield receives replacement after installing screws while ECC vehicles will also have their RCC module mounted with screws and vacuum harness and electrical connection established. The last step includes the installation of heater-to-dash panel seal with air conditioner tubes-to-dash panel seal and air conditioner evaporator drain tube seal before installing the heater core and evaporator core housing.
