2003 Ford Ranger A/C Condenser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Condenser on 2003 Ford Ranger?

  A: Begin HVAC condenser service and repair by conducting a leak test on condenser core parts before removal activities start. Exclusive suction accumulator replacement is needed only when physical system contamination appears after an A/C compressor failure or suction accumulator damage occurs. Refrigerant recovery should be the first step before proceeding to remove the air cleaner outlet tube. Before continuing to disconnect the compressor manifold and tube assembly from the compressor to condenser discharge line you must discard the O-ring seal. The installation process requires the engineer to disconnect the condenser to evaporator line from the condenser core then remove the discarded O-ring seal before disconnection of the compressor to condenser discharge line from the condenser core along with the discarded O-ring seal. Start by removing screws before tilting the radiator backward and pulling out pin-type retainers with the top seal. You must detach the screws and the condenser core from the system but removal of the radiator from its saddles might be essential to execute this step. The installation includes backward steps of removal starting with correct lubrication of PAG oil or equivalent throughout the refrigerant system followed by installation of new O-ring seals treated with clean PAG oil or equivalent. End the process by utilizing evacuation then performing leak detection before charging the refrigerant system.
