in fact "just a leak" frequently means a bad condenser. I've had two condensers go on me recently. One cost me $600 to replace, the other $700. In both cases it was done right the first time because I took them both to the same shop that specializes A/C repair. $600-$700 may seem expensive but I reckon that's about the difference in resale value between a car with functioning and non-functioning A/C, so once the repair needed to be done, it was a wash as to whether it was "worth it" to do it or not. window air conditioner units pricesAnd as long as it's a wash, I'm gonna pick the option that keeps me comfy during the summer.best ac unit for a room Originally Posted by wheelsupac unit turns on and offI think I still have a can or two in the garage....

Ford had a genius idea to install a sensor in the top of the evaporator case.

What does this mean to the owners of the Fusion? I should start by saying there are many reasons why your car's A/C can stop working. But on the Fusion, if the A/C compressor is not turning on, you will need to change the Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor. The sensor tells the computer what the air's temperature is at the exit point of the evaporator. When it senses that it's cold, it turns off the compressor. Otherwise, the system would freeze. Well, sometimes these sensors short out and will not allow compressor operation. Ford is well aware that the sensors are faulty. So I suggest that if your Fusion has low miles and is out of warranty, you contact Ford and demand they repair it. I have changed the sensor on cars as low as 22,000 miles (but it was over three years old). The problem is that you must remove the entire dashboard to change this part and there is no way around it. The total labor for this job is 6.7 hrs, and the part costs $17.49. Depending on your area, the average price for the job would be around $600 + tax.

I do it for $500 out the door. I have heard of people paying in excess of $800! If you are the do-it-yourself kind of person, I will attach the instructions on changing the sensor yourself below. Remove the instrument panel. Detach the A/C evaporator discharge air temperature sensor. Disconnect the sensor's electrical connector. To install, reverse the removal procedure.

From underneath the glove box, disconnect the three A/C electrical connectors. 10. Disconnect the electrical connector and retainer located on the floor between the two front seats. 11.
