Makuloco thanks for all the videos. I have a 2013 Explorer Limited 2.0 Ecoboost. The AC in it works sort of. When driving and in motion works great when still or in slow moving traffic it is awful. To me this suggest air flow or fan problem. Is there a way with ForScan to trigger the High speed on the fan? If High speed didn't work wouldn't that throw a MIL? The temp in it stays constant according to the dash. Right in the middle never gets hot but I honestly don't recall the fan EVER going into high except when I changed the turbo, added coolant, and waited and waited and waited for the thermostat to kick in so I could add the other half of my coolant. At which point the head slightly temporarily for just a min or less overheated. As SOON as the thermostat FINALLY put coolant in the block I added coolant to top it off. Other than that instance I don't recall the fan going into high. WHere how can I test that? Are you familiar with ForScan? it is a free utility and MANY of us DIY'ers love it Very helpful will do MOST diagnostic and module programing that IDF will do just not main PCM programming.

Hi Brian, I have a 2009 ford escape hybrid with a peculiar ac issue. The clutch engages when the ambient temperature is lower than 85 degrees. However once it goes above that, the clutch cycles and on and quickly cycles off after a few seconds. Shops I’ve visited cannot seem to figure it out and recommended just replacing the entire system

The low pressure protection circuit is for more than just the oil. Refrigerant helps dissipate heat form the compressor. Running without refrigerant will overheat the compressor. That would be like blocking the airflow across your radiator, the engine would seize up even with plenty of oil.

She took the car to another garage. They discovered that the compressor clutch bolt was MISSING!!! Mechanic said they've had to install many (qty?) clutch bolts on Ford vehicles. Replaced the bolt and all OK. Bottom line......daughter is HAPPY!!! That's what it's all about.

Hey thanx for the well thought out lessons. I am stumbling over my dealer shop manual for my Chevy Venture saying use R134a synthetic PAG oil internally in the AC system, but the seals and fitting threads are to be coated with 525 viscosity mineral base refrigerant oil. They warn of dire consequences. The only 525 mineral base refrigerant oil I find is R12 compatible, none so far say R134a. Wouldn’t traces of the mineral base get into the internal (“circulating is” the term they use) R134oil ? And how can the internal oil damage the seals? It says it over and over. Also, for $9 I got the 1999 manual. 2,000 pages, the real one. It has an accumulator as opposed to my 2001 having a receiver/dryer. The Manila says 8 oz. total internal PAG oil, but it says 3.5 goes into the accumulator. Does the receiver/dryer get the same amount? The 2001 manual is $140. I need to know how much goes into the entire system (C60, front HVAC only) and how much, if any, of that goes into the condenser and the receiver/dryer. I assume the evaporator is the same as the 1998 model. I have all new components save for the refrigerant lines and senors/wiring. I’m putting new weather stripping on the doors in the HVAC case while I investigate this further. Any advice or pointing to a cheap source of the info would be appreciated. I tore the whole dash apart by the seat of my pants while blind in one eye from surgery. The Haines dorsn’t Show the HVAC case/evaporator replacement procedures, and I just got the dealer shop book the day after I got the case/evap out. I hadn’t perused these out of date dealer manuals online until 10 days ago.

Great videos we appreciate the helpful information. I have a slightly different scenario. I have a 2014 Fusion that is stuck on 15 degrees on the temperature control on both sides and will not adjust up or down on the digital display or the mechanical buttons below the digital display. As a result, it only blows cold air all the time. The ambient temperature seems to be showing the correct temp. By the way, the settings are set for Fahrenheit and not Celsius. Could this be caused by the Evap Sensor? Most of the videos seem to imply that you will only get heat if the evap sensor goes out, but I am only getting cold instead. It's as if the car thinks that I have the controls set to 15 degrees and it is trying the best it can to get it down the that temp, although we know that could never happen.

I replaced it, and it worked alright, except the starter had a hard time turning over. It was almost like the engine locked up (that clunk sound). Aside from that, the A/C was cold and worked fine. Until I took off driving. Once I did, the same fuse blew. Any ideas? My only thought was a short in the A/C coil.

@JenniferFuchek 5 жыл бұрын

Yes. If AC not blowing cold that usually indicates compressor not coming on... vehicles wont turn it on if pressure isn't right because improper pressure wont circulate the PAG oil through the compressor, causing extreme damage. First thing to verify is the compressor not turning on/engaging (audible "click" with change in RPM), then check low side pressure to get reading (note itll vary based on vehicle as well as ambient outside temperature)...

Funny how this video shows up in my feed. Last Wednesday 5-8-19 it got above 80°F in western Indiana which made inside of car over 100°F. So I turned on A/C and started towards town. Stopped to turn corner and huge puff of smoke came from under hood. A/C clutch was on fire. Turned off A/C and all was good again and smoke cleared. That's funny because the night before it worked perfect like it always does. In the last 4 years I've had everything except compressor replaced by pro shops and it's worked beautifully. Tomorrow afternoon I have an appointment at my Ford shop in town for A/C repair. Can't fix it myself because it's mounted on the bottom of engine which is strange and so it has to go up on a lift. Don't know if it's failed bearings in the clutch or if the compressor locked up for some reason.

I have a 99 F-150 4x4 5.4L. I did the KOEO test and the clutch plate did not engage. What should I check next?

My gauges are reading 44 on low side 200 on high but getting getting a little bit of cool air the breeze in the shade outside feels cooler blowing into the windows. I was thinking it could be the blend door actuator but I notice my liquid line was not getting cold at all. I am stumped
