  Q: How to Remove and Install the A/C Accumulator on Ford Explorer Sport?

  A: The suction accumulator/drier requires removal which begins by disconnecting the battery ground cable followed by performing the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to vacuum out the refrigerant. You must first separate the air cleaner assembly before detaching the speed control servo by disconnecting the electrical connector and unbolt the servo. Afterward, set the servo to the side. The coolant expansion tank/windshield washer reservoir needs to be moved aside with the removal of screws and nuts. Protect the refrigerant tubes from damage by using a wrench while you disconnect both the suction accumulator/drier connector and its refrigerant lines from the A/C cycling switch. The last step involves removing the two screws that fasten the suction accumulator/drier. The installation process begins by following the removal sequence in reverse order unless a new A/C cycling switch is needed which requires transfer to the suction accumulator/drier; then bring sufficient refrigerant oil quantities. The A/C system requires evacuation, leak testing and charge operations following installation steps.
