2006 Ford Crown Victoria A/C Accumulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service the A/C Accumulator in the HVAC System on 2006 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: Service of the suction accumulator in the HVAC system starts by placing the vehicle into NEUTRAL position on a hoist. When equipped with a fire suppression system you should disable it then evacuate the refrigerant from the system. First disconnect the suction accumulator outlet fitting and throw away its O-ring seals before removing the inlet fitting with its spare O-ring seals. The service of the suction accumulator requires disconnecting both the A/C cycling switch electrical connector and removing the three suction accumulator bolts while torquing them to 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) before reinstallation. Safely detach the suction accumulator then the fire suppression system needs a power up only if installed. Reinstall the system by following removal steps in reverse while replacing all O-ring seals and adding clean PAG oil at the required amount to the refrigerant system. Evacuation and leakage testing of the refrigerant system should be followed by charging the system.
