no , the heater core is for your heat , the evaporator core is for your air
conditioning ( cooling )
Heater core is on the passenger side behind the glove box, this is also the location of the air conditioner evaporator core.. they should be in the same housing.
The heater core is behind the AC evaporator core. You must remove the panel with the venting on the passenger side. Then you must disconnect the two AC fittings inside the engine firewall. You do not have to remove the AC evaporator core, it will swing somewhat out of the way so that you can get to the heater core. There are several clips and screws holding the heater core in place that must be removed. Then you are able to remove the heater core. It is about a $35.00 item.
no! sensor is the one senses the cooling of the air condition while the evaporator core is the lid of the sensor
The heater core and AC system aren't connected.. the only component of the AC system located near the heater core is the evaporator.. so long as you don't try, say, prying out the heater core carelessly, there's nothing it should do to the AC system.
You will have to disconnect the liquid line and the accumulator from the evaporator tubes in order to remove the heater core.....
Yes, both the heater core and evaporator are in the HVAC housing, which has to be removed to access either.
Behind / below the glove compartment , inside the plastic box with the heater core
The entire, and I mean ENTIRE front dash has to come out to remove the heater box which then must be disassembled in order to replace the evaporator or heater core. Not a job for the feint of heart.
To replace the evaporator core in a Ford Ranger, first, disconnect the battery and remove the dashboard and any components obstructing access to the heater box. Drain the coolant and remove the hoses connected to the evaporator core. Once the heater box is accessible, unscrew and remove the old evaporator core, then install the new one in the reverse order, ensuring all connections are secure and there are no leaks before reassembling the dashboard. Finally, refill the coolant and reconnect the battery.
In the same manner as replacing the heater core. The complete dash assembly must be removed. Big job.

On a 1998 Ford Ranger : The evaporator core for the air conditioning system is inside the plastic case ( that also holds the heater core ) located behind and below the glove compartment in the dash on the passenger side
