- Found only a few videos and not a lot of information on Google about where the orifice tube is. Some models are near the radiator or can be behind the glove box. Lara and I finally found this one near the accumulator/drier. We are in the middle of changing the compressor, drier and rear expansion valve also. Hope to post a video of that later.
My 1999 Ford Expedition 4.6L used the same 19mm towards the firewall, but a 7/8" on the nut.
Thanks SO MUCH for posting this video. I too was at a loss as to where it was located.
I work in a multi-line (Ford) dealership parts dept & the catalog gives a PN# for this office tube filter, but it's in NO illustration anywhere!! I had searched on here a few years back & found nothing. F150's were similar, but again NOT exact. I guess due to the SIV's having a rear auxiliary air unit.
I haven't worked on these very much i really appreciate the video it's back together and a/c working great 👍
Excellent video and information. 👍💯
Thanks...I really like Lifehouse playing in the background!
Me too 👍
Thanks for the video!!
Thanks, I think mine looks similar on a 2002 ford expedition, just below the battery on the passenger side. Going to pull it out tomorrow.
Yes, it was a lot simpler to get to with the battery and battery tray out.
Thank you for this. I'm changing the accumulator and figured since the refrigerant will be evacuated, I'd go ahead and change the orifice tube as well. I was planning on looking toward the condenser and now I don't have to waste time trying to find it. Very cool! Did that require a 19 or 21mm? I thought I heard you say it could be either but wasn't sure which. Thx! Also, liked and subscribed.
The 19mm was toward the firewall and the 21mm was toward the front of the Expedition. The 21 mm is the one that spins and the 19 stays stationary. I have another video on here that shows more detail on the accumulator and compressor and the expansion valve in the rear A/C. I hope I'm telling you right as it's been a few days since I did this.
Also, taking the battery and battery tray out helped to get to the orifice tube.
Alan Sunday - Thanks for the advice. The orifice tube was quick and easy. The accumulator was pretty straightforward getting out, draining oil and transferring to the new one, but I can't seem to snap the hose back on. Now it won't even pull off. I'm going to mess with it some more next week or something.
The quick disconnect line was a bear to deal with. I had to pull really hard to get it off and push really hard to get the new one back on. Even coating the seals with the PAG oil, never really heard or felt it click back on when I pushed hard. If you can't pull it back off, then it should be connected and good to go.
Alan Sunday - I wish I could be confident in that but I can feel the lip that it's supposed to snap over and it's right up against it but just won't budge over it. I may see if it holds vacuum but I'm pretty sure it needs to be over that lip. I really appreciate all of the responses though. I will let you know when I get this resolved.
The desiccant pack in your accumulator ruptured, that's what the weird crap is. If there's metal in there you need a compressor too.
It was actually remnants of a seal from only one of the pistons in the compressor. I have another video on here showing it.
Grass? That is the Teflon rings from the compressor. New compressor, evaporator, condenser and flush the lines out, buddy.
Yes, you are correct buddy. I have another video showing the compressor completely apart showing the missing seal. It's not Teflon either.
Mean you're probably going to need a new compressor VERY SOON. Looks like shavings from the compressor piston seals
Yes you are correct. I have another video showing the compressor apart and a missing seal.
Nothing too do cant take my eyes off of you
All that on the tube is the compressor coming apart and all that it loses gets stuck in the condenser AND orifice tube
Take the inner fender wheel well liner out and you can get right to it very easy dont have to tear your truck apart like this goof
grass in your ac system, not good
chuck hartey turned out to be a shredded piston seal from the FS10 compressor.
Bits of the old teflon internal seals I bet...
Do you eventually have to cut the AC grass?
