Hello Everyone,
My family and I traveled from Colorado to Boston, in our 05 expedition. Son is having surgery at Childrens hospital. On our way here the a/c went out somewhere in Iowa. We got to davenport and took it to a ford dealer. They said compressor blew up, so they replaced compressor and dryer and a couple lines, and flushed the front system but not the back. To the toon of I don't even wanna say. lol The said the back would be ok because the pressures where ok when the recharged it. And it would take another day and a lot more money to flush the back. Ok sure, blowing cold so we took off again on our way to newyork it went out again. No good.
Now we're in boston and trying to get it fixed again, the compressor is cycling on and off, and just by cracking the schrader valves on the high and low side. There seems to be hardly any pressure on the low side, and a great deal of pressure on the high side. So without any gauges with me 1900 miles away from home, this tells me that there is a restriction some where? Like the orfice tube or expansion valve?
So I took It to a shop down the street from the Hospital, and there telling me that the dash has to come out to get to the blend door. That it's not working right. I didn't really by that because when you turn it to hot it gets hotter, and when turn it down it gets a little cooler not much but a little. I asked to see pressures but the guy that did the diagnose's was not there at the time. They're not really liking the restriction idea because it holds a vacuum, witch I think it would ether way.
I can't think of reason for the dash to come out, besides a plugged or leaking evaporator. Is there anything else in the dash related to the a/c? I don't really want them to rip apart the dash for a no reason it just doesn't seem like the problem. So any advice would be grateful! Am i missing anything?
