A/C Condenser Fan - Installation

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system Refrigerant Oil Level. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level will prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.

NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to the refrigerant systemRefrigerant Oil Level.

NOTE: If the A/C condenser is being replaced, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.

NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.

NOTE: Be certain that each of the radiator and condenser air seals are installed in their proper locations. These air seals are required for the A/C and engine cooling systems to perform as designed.





1. If the A/C condenser is being replaced, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to the refrigerant system Refrigerant Oil Level. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
2. Install the condenser cooling fan onto the A/C condenser.
3. Install the four screws (4 and 5) that secure the cooling fan to the A/C condenser. Tighten the screws to 2.2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).
4. Position the A/C condenser and cooling fan assembly into the engine compartment.
5. Install the lower mounting tabs (6) into the lower mounting flanges (3).
6. Install the two bolts (1 and 9) that secure the A/C condenser to the upper front crossmember (2). Tighten the bolts to 10.5 Nm (95 in. lbs.).
7. Connect the wire harness connector (8) to the A/C condenser cooling fan motor (7).
8. Connect the A/C discharge line and the A/C liquid line onto the A/C condenserA/C Discharge Line - Installation and A/C Liquid Line - Installation.
9. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
10. Evacuate the refrigerant system Refrigerant System Evacuate.
11. the refrigerant system Service and Repair.
