My evaporator just went out with 22k miles on it
Luckily my good dealer did it under warrenty. They know I wouldn't try to warranty something that I touched. I didnt' think about having to pull the whole dash when I droped it off but he said they had fun with my wires too.

Yeah insane, I so wasn't thinking dash removal. LOL




Guys, if it gets done quick enough it's going to the body shop to have dirt painted on!

Well, got it all back together...
New Evaporator
New Accumolator
New Heater Core (might as well since we are in there)
New air filters (WOW, they were dirty)
Put a vacuucm on the a/c system, let go and it lost vaccum instantly. Did this a few times trying to find the leak through sound. You'd figure you could hear such a leak. Garden hose test and nothing. Can't find it anywhere. Put freon and dye in it. Nothing. No dye coming out, NOTHING. If you sit still and idle, it won't cool. A/C is running, engine gets hotter, but no cold air. If you start to drive it gets cool. I'd say about 75% of what it could be, so not the best but it starts to cool.

So, WTF?!?!?! What else is left? The pump and condensing coil right? The rubber hose going from the accumolator to the pump looks old...but NO dye is coming from it. Anybody know wtf? ideas? We just spent 2 days ripping this f-ing dash apart and putting it back together AND it still f-ing leaks. ARGHGHGHGHG!!!!!!!

Don't forget, you gotta have air flowing thru the condensor. My e-fans quit due to bad grounds, and the a/c wouldn't cool, either. Got the fans fixed, and the a/c works better.

Also, make sure all the electrical plugs are plugged in (ask me how I know about THAT one!) Especially the one on the line near the firewall
