2007 Lincoln Navigator A/C Condenser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Condenser Core on 2007 Lincoln Navigator?

  A: The repair process for the condenser core starts when you position the vehicle on a hoist with NEUTRAL selected and recover all refrigerant contents. Begin the condenser core service procedure by detaching the battery cables followed by upper radiator sight shield removal and extraction of the RH and LH headlamp assemblies. Start by taking out both the outlet tube from the air cleaner and then the 4 junction box bolts before placing the junction box to the side. The condenser inlet fitting requires you to remove its bolt followed by disconnecting the fitting while throwing away the O-ring and gasket seals which should be tightened to 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) during installation. The condenser outlet produces similar measurements as before so keep the same procedure for fitting nut replacement and throw away O-rings as well as gasket seals then torque up to 15 Nm (11 lb-ft). The next step requires you to remove bolts from the 2 cooling module then 2 cooling fan shroud while releasing clamps followed by disconnecting 2 power steering cooler lines from the condenser core. Detach the RH and LH air deflectors by removing 6 pin-type retainers followed by positioning nine lower radiator splash shield pin-type retainers to the side. The process starts by unconnecting both transmission cooler lines from the transmission cooler as well as detaching the transmission cooler line pin-type retainer from the condenser core bracket. The installation of the cooling module to the rear position breaks 4 condenser mounts while enabling condenser removal beneath the vehicle. Move upward on the condenser after unclasping the retaining tabs that connect it to the bottom braces of the condenser. Following the separation of the brackets from the 4 connections remove the condenser assembly with its bracket. When installing the unit follow the reverse order of removal steps while applying new gasket seals and O-ring seals as well as lubricating the refrigerant system with clean PAG oil and adjusting the power steering fluid level and transmission fluid level before performing an evacuation followed by leak testing and system charging.
