  Q: How to service and repair the A/C Condenser core of the HVAC system on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A:

  Begin the condenser core servicing process by recovering all the refrigerant from the HVAC system. The service involves unbolting the air cleaner while simultaneously loosening the two coolant expansion tank bolts. Put the coolant expansion tank in position during reinstallation yet keep a tight torque of 7 Nm (62 lb-in). Before installing a new fitting to the condenser entry point the technician should disconnect the A/C pressure transducer electrical connector then remove the inlet fitting nut and separate the fitting while discarding the O-ring seal and tightening the new fitting to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) specifications. Next you should remove the condenser outlet fitting nut until you can disconnect the fitting while replacing it with a new one and tightening it to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Separate the condenser discharge line compression clips before unfastening the two cooling module bolts and placing it backward into position with a torque of 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Gently remove the upper radiator Air Deflector before taking out the two condenser core bolts but reinstall them with a torque of 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Detach the condenser core and the two condenser air deflectors from the cooling system. The installation process requires following the removal steps in reverse order alongside new O-ring seal application and correct PAG oil lubrication of the refrigerant system. The refrigerant system should be evacuated before leak testing and then receiving its charge.

  Q: How to remove and install the A/C condenser core on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A:

  The removal process begins with hospitalization of the ground Battery Cable followed by execution of the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to drain the refrigerant. Begin by taking out the air cleaner assembly followed by disconnecting of the A/C manifold and tube from the A/C condenser core along with discarding the O-ring seal. The installation requires a new O-ring seal which must be lubricated with PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent product specified by Ford as WSH-M1C231-B. The vehicle needs to be lifted then technicians must remove the lower Air Deflector through seven screw and two pin-type retainer removal. Unfasten transmission oil cooler lines from the condenser core while removing the bolts to complete the condenser removal. The installation should follow these steps while adding oil to a new A/C condenser core and including a new A/C evaporator core orifice. The last task involves evacuating then testing for leaks before charging the A/C system.
