• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Condenser on 2009 Ford Ranger?

  A: A leak-testing procedure of the condenser core must start the service process when a condenser leak appears to be present. Begin the service by recovering all refrigerant substance followed by disconnecting the Air Cleaner (ACL) outlet tube. 2.3L vehicles require removal of the compressor-to-condenser line fitting through the fitting nut then discarding the O-ring seal while tightening installation fittings to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). The next step involves removing the condenser outlet fitting nut before disconnecting it while getting rid of the existing O-ring seal followed by fitting installation at 8 Nm (71 lb-in). You should reinstall the new fitting on the condenser inlet after discarding the O-ring seal and tightening it to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Tilt the radiator back with the two bolts removed before tightening them to 7 Nm (62 lb-in). Before accessing the condenser core both retainers with pin types need to be removed along with the seal on top of the unit and additionally the radiator might need to be detached from its saddles for core replacement. Apply 12 Nm of torque when installing the new condenser core and remove its two core bolts. During installation the technician should replace O-ring seals and administer clean PAG oil to the refrigerant system following the removal procedure in reverse. Evacuation and leakage tests and refrigerant system charging operations must be performed as the final step.
