Using a 1 1/4" hole saw, I drilled right on top of the sticker with colors. Found the sensor was right inside the hole inserted in the aluminum coils. Removed the old one with a pair of needle nose pliars and placed the new sensor in the same location as the old one. Closed the hole in the a/c box using the removed section of plastic from the hole saw, plugged in the sensor and saved myself $2500 bucks :-) Took about 15 minutes!
Do you have a picture of this?
Yes, pic please!
Did the plastic you cut out fit the hole wel or did you duct tape it in?
@@WannabeofftheFlock hvac tape
having the same issue i believe Do you have a picture?
Thanks so much! I replaced everything in this truck except the evap. Temp sensor. And when I replaced the a/c core I put the evap. Temp sensor back in it and didn't think to replace it. It's tricky to install, I was afraid I would damage the core becauseyou have to push it betweenthe fins on the core. But I'll install it correctly when I have down time. I just won't overuse the a/c. Thanks so much this was a huge help!
Broo you just saved me from burning 🔥 inside this hell cap in Texas heat even unplugging it and plugging it back gets the ac back working 💪🏾 🥶 🧊 ☃️ 🧥 ❄ dude u are awesome 👌
you save me lots of money i was going to replace a bunch of parts but 40 part took the dash apart it was not so easy but thanks for the video
Thanks! Works immediately!
Would it be possible to drill a small hole through the plastic box as close to the evap. And then seal it up to get the best reading...?
Couldn't you feasibly drill a new hole in the air handler box and install the sensor and use some RTV sealer to seal it. Would that serve as the same purpose as remounting it on top.
What is that plug called and where could I got one?
Would you know if this will help my problem
My ac is stuck on cold both sides driver and passenger even when I move my temperature to 70°F it feels like I have it on low
Will this work for a 2018
Nice little trick
Is this valid for a 2016 , rock auto does not list the part
firm believer that automotive engineers need to work on what they design. just because it looks good on their part of the paper does not mean it is functional for everyone else.
Very true - from our perspective. However, from the company's view, that (type of thing) is simply job security for their entire industry.
If only there was a legit choice, meaning one brand that actually gave a flip, but they ALL have the same thing going on.
This truck also has no ac cabin filter. For some odd reason. So you’ll destroy the evaporator very easily if you work and drive in dusty areas or always have the cabin air recirculate button turned off.
Where is the cabin airfolter on this thing?
If you don't have a scanner how do you know if its the sensor?
Thanks!
At 41 seconds, did you say forskin? LOL! Great video, I think I am going to do that to get by!
Forscan, close enough lol
Hahahaha
@Strokntom yea when I say Forscan to someone not familiar, I slow down my speech when saying that, lol.

If I ever need to do this I will do exactly this and then drill a small hole on or near the colered sticker on the box, jam it into the evap core And seal the hole.
Could you drill a hole in the box and slide the sensor in and epoxy the hole??
Yes you can that's what I did
100% works... I'm going to make a hole and silicone it in, see if it works for a while.
it will
I was thinking the same thing...
Yep I've had it on mine for a year now and it still works fine. It does freeze up some so we try to cycle it on a long trip but if it freezes we turn it off and leave the fan on high, once the air comes out strong again turn it right back on for full cold. Also so I made the slot hole for the front of the box with my soldering iron, perfect little slot and siliconed it in!!!
My ac is working pretty good, but I don't see and melted water coming out on the ground, no leaks inside? 2012 f250, any ideas?
Curious if you drilled the hole and stuck the sensor in the box. I changed my plug and blows ice cold, but I dont have any water dripping anymore as well.
@@rtsinc4 My thoughts exactly, sure would make sense as that's all it is anyway. Never have figure out why I don't have condensation leaking as it should? Again nothing wet inside? My new to me 2016 leaks condensation every time I stop.
It looks very practical with that tool. What type of scanner is it?
Forscan
Wonder if you could drill a hole in the box and install it there. Would it work correctly then?
E Cas temp sensor
There is post buried in a powestroke forum that shows a guy cut a hole in the box with a box knife and swapped it out... fixed it.
@@jarodgroves01 have a link? I've looked for it. Have a 2010 f150 King Ranch that doesn't get cold when it's hot and humid here in the gulf coast.
@@tritontr21 hey I actually did the fix myself last weekend. I drilled a hole with a 11/4in hole saw. See that blue square on the sticker. Take the sticker off and drill right there. Be careful not ram the tool into the box. Use light pressure. Took 10 mins. I need to post a video.
@@jarodgroves01 please let me know if you do.
Can you feel a difference?
What year model? Mines a 2010 Kong ranch.
Can I purchase this evaporator sensor in autozone?
Possibly . We did have to use an aftermarket one once when they were on national backorder.
What scann tool you used ?
MH PRO FORScan
Am I understanding correctly this works with your laptop Windows XP only program correct. Does the MH PROFORScan have a number associated with it.
Do these questions ever get answered or addressed? Do I need to call for some info? Really need help
Look behind your glove box and see if the plug looks the same. That would be a good start.
Could you drill a hole and silicone?
I just did this and I'm blowing cold air
Does tis sensor has anything to do with a/c blower not blowing out at full speed? it works at all speeds but do out think it is pushing out full air speed.
If the evaporator is freezing over this could cause lack of air flow. This could technically be caused by the sensor not seeing the correct temperature although we have not run in to this before. Most likely there is something else going on like the Cabin air filter is plugged or the fan or wiring is failing or the evaporator is plugged with debris.
@@ostsaz Thanks for reply. I have took another look and looks like the last speed is not working , all working but when turning to the last one witch supposed to be the highest speed will not work is the same speed as the one before that. I suspect that something maybe up with the blower motor resistor maybe..?
Yes, the resistor is usually the cause for a loss of one speed.
How do you test this sensor with out a scan tool?
he said forskin! LOL! It
s forscan!
Sensor that connects compressor under track goes bad. That’s why I wasn’t even get power to compresor when my rig was on.
Mines throwing a P0532 will this work?
*mine*
Si ases eso se cómbela el sistema yo lo ise
I have a 2011 F-350 6.7 I've been through two mechanics plus myself everyone says to do this the same thing you just did so I did it dosent work . I tryed it in ice cubes nothing ! I wrapped it in paper towels and duct tape held it in my fist !!! CRAZY BUT THE AIR IT WILL FREEZE YOU OUT NOW !!! I don't know why !!! I thought I would put it out there !!! 🇺🇲
BY THE WAY GOOD INFO I DIDNT WANT YOU TO THINK I WAS PUTTING DOWN YOUR INFO ! THANKS ! FOR SOME CRAZY REASON MINE WORKED WITH HEAT !!! ONLY THING I CSN THINK OF MAYBE ALL THESE GUYS WORKING ON IT MAYBE SWITCH SOMETHING IDK BUT THANKS BROTHER !!!! 🇺🇲
No freaking way! That sucks
First I gave you a thumbs down because you didnt go all the way and made a hole to put the sensor in a place where it could read... but after finding out that it was going to cost me $1200 plus the parts I decided to buy the sensor since it was only $30 including tax at the ford dealership. Auto Zone, O'Reillys, Napa... they dont carry the sensor. Part number is BC3Z-19C734-A. My AC works fine now. 2015 F450 6.7 so thank you for the video, I think Im going to buy a AC box from a junk yard (is only $100) just to see exactly how and where the sensor goes and where I can make a hole without damaging anything.
you can cut a square in the box but we didnt put this in there because it is easy to puncture the evap core and then you have to pull it out.
It only takes 20 mins to pull those dashes out. And five more to replace the temp sensor.
@@gearheadsautomotiveinmidlandtx are you serious??
@@LJ-zz7bp hell yes.
I do it for a living.
I'm a Ford technician also. Amongst other things. I can post a video later if y'all desire.
@@gearheadsautomotiveinmidlandtx will the evap temp sensor (YH-1735) for the superduty work in a f150 ? I’m wondering if the ohm range is the same. If it is it would save me. I can’t afford to take it to the dealership
Do you have a part number?
BC3Z-19C734-A
Ford's suck it's every truck at work is like this 😬
