How do you replace condenser on 2000 ford windstar?

Answer 1

4 hour job. Disconnect battery, open plastic top cover of the radiator, unscrew 2 bold in both sides underneath the plastic cover, let the whole set radiator move back and forward easily. open 2 screws of the AC connection pipes (Remember the freon have to be removed before open these screws. Test the open end of the pipe make sure there is no freon pressure left). remove 2 headlights. Remove the front cover (remove all bottom screws and 2 screws inside the fender, then front cover will come out) open 2 screws from the bottom of each corner(the left side open first and the right side open later. remove 2 bracket from the bottom of the condense then it will release the condenser). take out the condenser through the front gap of the radiator. Put the new one in carefully don't bend or brake fins of the condenser. put the new one in and put the bottom brackets back and reverse the procedure. connect the pipe and fill the freon . run the engine Max AC make sure there is no leak or damage condenser. complete the front cover and other parts with the reverse procedure when you open it. You should put screws and note whre their location so you don't miss or lost them . Good luck
