Tool Required : J 26549-D Orifice Tube Remover (The Orifice Tube is located in the liquid line, at the evaporator inlet fitting.)


Remove or Disconnect

1. Recover refrigerant.
2. Refrigerant line screw and clip along the center of the engine compartment bulkhead.
3. High-Pressure liquid line from evaporator inlet pipe assembly.

Using a J 26549-D orifice tube remover or a pair of needle-nosed pliers, grasp the tip of the expansion tube and remove using a turning motion along with a push-pull motion to loosen the tube.

If difficulty is encountered during the removal of the expansion tube, carefully apply heat with a heat gun approximately 6.4 mm (1/4 inch) from the dimples on the inlet pipe. Do not overheat.

Cap opened refrigerant lines to prevent dirt, moisture or other contamination from entering the system.

Install or Connect

Swab the inside of the inlet tube with R-11 or equivalent.

1. A new expansion tube dual O-ring. Coat the O-ring with clean 525 viscosity refrigerant oil prior to installation.
2. Expansion tube into inlet pipe; insert smaller screen first and push until the tube reaches a firm stop. This indicates proper seating of the O-ring.
3. High-Pressure liquid line from inlet pipe assembly.

Tighten
Inlet line fitting to 24 Nm (18 lb. ft.) .

1. Refrigerant line screw and clip.
2. Evacuate and charge system.
3. Leak test all refrigerant connections.

try a new gas cap

If these axles have never been replaced and boots are torn, more than likely axles need replaced. At autopartswarehouse.net the axles with boots are 78.00 each, you need 2. 2 seals for 46.00. If you remove axles to replace boots then same labor to replace axles. Look at and find a shop nearest you that will allow you to bring in your own parts on this website. Or save a bunch by doing yourself since this is a DIY website after all.

If there is no refrigerant in the the system and the compressor is not kicking on its not going to suck the freeon . You need to evacuate the system vacuum it and then recharge it .

are u rettrofiting to 134? y did u install the parts?

drier was leaking line filter was plug

The gauge has to be checked by the technician if it requires to be replaced or just need cleaning.

First, remove the valve core from the TPMS sensor using the valve core remover. Allow the tire to deflate.
Remove the TPMS sensor grommet using the ratchet and a socket. In some cases, there may be a washer under the grommet. Poke the valve of the TPMS sensor into the rim of the tire. The sensor will automatically drop down to the bottom of the tire as you break the bead down normally at the tire machine. Break the bead of the tire on both sides of the rim as you would with a normal tire using the tire machine. Place the tire on the turntable of the tire machine and lock the rim to the adjustable claws. Lift the top bead of the tire off of the rim. Reach inside the tire and extract the TPMS sensor. If you're replacing the tire, you can remove the bottom bead from the rim, otherwise, place the top bead of the tire back onto the rim. Place the rubber gasket (supplied in the TPMS sensor rebuild kit) onto the valve stem of the new TPMS sensor. Press down on the sidewall of the tire in front of the valve stem hole in the rim and manipulate the sensor valve stem down and then up into the hole. While holding it there with one hand, add the washer (if applicable) and the grommet and thread on hand tight. Look up the specific type of car in the TPMS manual and it will give you the recommended inch pounds to tighten the grommet of the TPMS sensor. Adjust the torque wrench to the recommended inch pound setting and tighten the grommet to specification. Inflate the tire as usual to the recommended pounds per square inch.

It called a blend door switch

blend door actuator

this could be a faulty door actuator or it is inside the a/c programer.

its sounds like the alternators internal regulator is defective. i would return it to the store you bought it from

Thanks for you help. The real problem was in the starter; sears installer did not fasten the screw tight and did not replace the heat shield correctly. Never go to sears for auto work. I corrected the problem and the battery voltage high message went away.

check flasher fuse , and steering controls fuse in under hood fuse block.

u have a damaged socket it needs replaced

u will need to remove the tank and replace the sending unit.replace the pump while your in there.gl

Strutmasters.com can help you with the conversion

Strutmaster - I believe so, you can give em a call to make sure if they have ann application for you

Now for the compressor

The compressor in my friend Cadillac is located behind the battery and attached to the drivers-side inner fender. Most often the problems are because of broken air lines to the struts....they are usually plastic lines....also the height sensor may have a problem with it being out of adjustment or a bad electrical connection. There are tests for the compressor using a VOM and an air-pressure gauge. Does the compressor run? Fuse check?

you have a leak in the evaporator core most likely.the pressure sensor keeps the compressor from running to prevent damage.u can have it checked for a leak. the rear shocks you check by turning the key on shift to neutral.2 people sit on the rear bumper.u see the light on the dash come on and you feel the car lift up and shut off.gl

Hope this forum i saw will be able to be of assistance.

go to the coolant jug and their is a switch. its a coolant level switch.pick one up and replace it.gl

Very likely needs a new latch switch.
