1. 94 Ford Explorer Ac Vacuum And R134 Charging

Matt Wright First, you'll need to find out what kind of refrigerant your car uses. The best way to determine this is to check your car's owner's manual, or you can consult your. If your car was manufactured after 1994, it uses.

Older cars use R12 refrigerant, which is no longer manufactured. To get the AC working on a pre-1994 vehicle, you'll first have to take it to a repair shop and have it converted to use R134. You should also check your AC system for before getting started. A leaky air conditioning system can't cool as efficiently; running it without sufficient coolant could cause permanent (and costly) damage. Matt Wright To recharge your you'll need pressurized refrigerant (sometimes referred to as freon) and a pressure gauge to keep track of how much is in the system.

There are lots of different AC recharge tools you can buy, but most are for professional mechanics and are pretty expensive. If your air conditioning maintenance is limited to the family cars, an all-in-one AC recharge kit is perfectly sufficient. These kits consist of a can of R134 and a built-in pressure gauge. They work well and are very easy to understand, even for somebody who has no experience with AC. You can purchase AC recharge kits at your local auto store.

Matt Wright As you unpack your kit, you'll find a can of refrigerant, a flexible rubber hose, and a pressure gauge. Follow the instructions in the package to assemble the pressure gauge part of the kit. Usually, you'll have the hose already attached to the gauge. Before you screw the gauge into the can of refrigerant, be sure to turn the gauge counterclockwise until it stops. There is a pin inside the assembly that pierces the can of refrigerant once everything is together tightly. This pin is controlled by turning the gauge clockwise until it pierces the can.

But you don't want to do this until you're ready, so be sure to back it all the way out before you assemble everything. Matt Wright Your air conditioning system has two ports, low-pressure and high-pressure, depending on where you are in relation to the compressor.

You'll be recharging your AC through the low-pressure port. You should consult your owner's manual to be sure, but your vehicle will have a cap over the pressure ports.

One cap is labeled 'H' (for high pressure) and the other is labeled 'L' (for low). As a further safety measure, the ports are different sizes, so you physically cannot attach the pressure gauge or hose to the wrong port. Matt Wright Before you attach the hose, you'll need to turn the gauge clockwise until it stops tightly.

This action seals the gauge off so that you can safely attach it to the AC port. With the port cleaned, you're ready to attach the rubber hose that links the car to the pressure gauge. The hose uses a quick and simple latching mechanism. To attach the hose to the low-pressure port, pull the outside of the fitting back, slide it over the port, then release it. Now, and turn the air conditioning on high. Take a look at the gauge and you'll see how much pressure your system is building. Give it a few minutes to get the pressure up and equalized, then you can take an accurate reading.
