2003 Ford Mustang A/C Accumulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service the A/C Accumulator on 2003 Ford Mustang?

  A: Starting the HVAC accumulator service requires refrigerant recovery as the first step. You should disconnect the A/C cycling switch electrical connector then remove the cycling switch from the HVAC accumulator. The servicing of the HVAC accumulator begins by disconnecting the suction line spring lock coupling while removing O-ring seals for discarding. You should first remove the clamp nut before disconnecting the suction accumulator from the evaporator outlet while replacing its O-ring seals with new ones. Finally, remove the suction accumulator. The installation procedure starts with reversing removal steps while using lubricated PAG oil on new O-ring seals and applying correct amounts of clean PAG oil to the refrigerant system. The refrigerant system needs evacuation and leak testing before receiving its charging procedure.
