Compressor Installation.





1. Measure the amount of oil that is in the old compressor by pouring the old oil out of the compressor port into a measuring bottle (Fig. 13)

NOTE:
DISCARD THE OLD OIL AFTER MEASURING.

2. Drain and save all of the oil from the new compressor into a clean measuring bottle (Fig. 13).

3. Using the oil removed from the new compressor, pour the same amount of oil into the new compressor as was measured from the old compressor.

4. Add the following amount of additional oil to the A/C compressor:

a. Dual A/C units add 80 ml (2.7 oz.).

b. Single A/C unit add 40 ml (1.4 oz.).

NOTE:
IF ADDITIONAL OIL IS REQUIRED USE MOPAR (P/N 82300102) PAG OIL.

CAUTION:
REFRIGERANT OIL WILL ABSORB MOISTURE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE IF LEFT UNCAPPED. DO NOT OPEN THE CONTAINER OF OIL UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO USE IT.

5. Raise the vehicle on the hoist and install the new compressor onto the engine mounting bracket. Tighten mounting bolts to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.).

6. Connect the compressor electrical connector.





7. Install the serpentine drive belt (Fig. 14).

8. Install the right side splash shield.

9. Vehicles with single A/C system, proceed to next step. Vehicle with dual A/C system, connect the suction lines at the center connection under the vehicle and install the tie strap (Fig. 5). Tighten the center connection fitting to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.).

10. Lower the vehicle.

11. RG vehicles proceed to next step. RS vehicles install the new discharge line, p/n 04677492AA.

12. Connect the discharge line to the compressor. Tighten the discharge line retaining nuts to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.).

13. RG vehicles proceed to step 15. RS vehicles, connect the other end of the discharge line to the condenser. Tighten the discharge line retaining nuts to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.).

14. Install the right headlamp assembly.

15. Connect the suction line to the compressor. Tighten the suction line retaining nuts to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.).

16. Vehicles with single A/C system, proceed to next step. Vehicles with dual A/C system, replace the 0-ring on the liquid line and then install the liquid line and suction line to the expansion valve. Tighten the retaining nut to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.).

17. Add an additional 30 ml (1 oz.) of oil (P/N 82300102) to the center port of the new receiver/drier and install the receiver/drier into the mounting bracket.

18. Install new 0-rings onto the liquid line ends that connect to the receiver/drier.

19. Connect the liquid lines to the receiver/drier ports. Tighten the mounting bolts to 2 Nm (18 in. lbs.).

20. Vehicles with single A/C system, proceed to next step. Vehicle with dual A/C system, connect the right side wiper module drain hose (Fig. 1).





21. Connect an appropriate A/C machine (that meets SAE standard J2210) to the A/C system (Fig. 15). Evacuate the system for 15 minutes.

NOTE:
FOLLOW THE A/C MACHINE MANUFACTURER'S OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TO EVACUATE THE SYSTEM.

22. Vehicles with single A/C system, proceed to next step. Vehicle with dual A/C system, connect the fuel line to the fuel rail.

23. Install the air cleaner assembly.

24. Connect the negative battery cable to the battery terminal. Tighten the battery terminal fastener to 8.5 Nm (75 in. lbs.).

25. Using an appropriate A/C machine, install R-134a refrigerant into the A/C system (Refer to the underhood label for the correct charge amount).

26. Verify A/C system operation and continue with Section D - "Check and Reprogram the PCM If Necessary."
