If your ac is low on freeon the air wont blow as cold as normal. An ac unit is a sealed system so if its low that usually neans there is a problem. DO NOT TRY TO FIX THIS YOURSELF! It could result in serious bodilly injury. not to mention that releasing freeon into the atmosphere is against the law. take it to a certifide ac tech. most service centers have a tech on hand. so the smartest thing to do is call around for prices and availability. Another answer is that refill kits are available at most autoparts stores. Ask the people there for advice and suggestions specific to your vehicle. I personally handle all my refills - most of which just require a quick topping off of coolant that lasts for years. Answer My A/C was not working. I took it for service, cost me $220. The A/C worked for 10 days. The clutch was pulling in and out. I bought a refill kit and added about 18 oz. of freon/leak stopper/ dye. The clutch stopped cycling and the A/C was cold. Waiting to see if the leak is fixed. The clutch drops out below 25 psi on the low side to protect the compressor. If your clutch cycles or does not pull in you may be low on freon.
R134
A 1998 Ford Windstar would use refrigerant 134a
R-134A
Look for the sticker under the hood! It will tell you the refrigerant and the ounces.
It depends on the size of can you purchase . According to Ford specs in your van holds 56 Oz total if you have front and rear AC units
You probably need to recharge the freon.
R134a WHERE ARE THE HIGH AND LOWE FREON VALVES LOCATED
With AC pressure gauges and manifold assembly. This is best done by a professional.
134a refrigerant has been the standard for over 10 years.
The freon capacity is usually on a sticker under your hood butsometimes are missing and it will depend on whether or not you have rear AC on your model. On a 03 Windstar SEL without rear AC it takes 2lb 12oz if it has rear AC it takes 3lb 8oz.
Ford Windstar was created in 1994.
The headlights of a Ford Windstar may have problems going on if they are burnt out or if there is a wiring problem. Blowing a headlight fuse will also lead to both lights not working.
