It does not have an orifice tube.
It is located in the line between the High side service port and the evaporator in front of the alternator. It's hidden under the foam pipe insulation. Taurus/Sable Liquid Line and Orifice Tube The orifice tubes on 2000 to 2007 Ford Taurus and 2000 to 2005 Mercury Sable can be changed. At first glance, the liquid line looks like one long hose. But unlike the liquid lines of the '80s and '90s, this hose has a fitting in the middle. The orifice tube is located at this fitting. To replace the orifice tube, remove the washer and overflow bottle. The high side service port is on a pipe about eight inches long to make it easier for service. The fitting and orifice tube are near this pipe. The fitting is covered with a protective rubber cover. The cover makes it hard to see the fitting and that the orifice tube is replaceable. Push the cover back. Disconnect the fitting. Replace the orifice tube. Lubricate the new o-ring (# 24608), and torque the fitting to 18 lb-ft.
On the passenger side of the vehicle, underneath the accumulator. There is a tube that comes out of the lower part of the blower motor assembly & connects to your lower AC hose. The orifice tube is in there. You have to jack up the vehicle, remove the tire & the plastic wheel well cover. Then you can plainly see the bottom of the accumulator & the blower motor assembly. The orifice tube will be in the tube coming out of the blower motor (attached to firewall). Be sure to insert the orifice tube with the arrow pointing towards the blower motor.
It uses an expansion valve, not an orifice tube.
The orifice tube is located between the engine and the fire wall. The windshield wiper cowling has to be removed to gain access to the orifice tube.
