Click the above link to find the AC Compressor for your vehicle. In this video we'll show you how to replace your old AC Compressor and Accumulator Drier on a 2000 Lincoln Town Car.
Suggestion! You should change the camshaft position sensor, "about $23 bucks" at same time. Because when they go, which they do, you have to move compressor to change it. Slides in and out of block real easy with one bolt and a electrical connector. If sensor goes you'd be wishing you did change at the same time. Real easy with the compressor off already. 2 minutes tops! Just a suggestion only. Great video!
Have you done this? The part is 18$ I feel like it’s worth it
Camshaft position sensor is behind the brake fluid
@@joezapiain I've done this twice. Sorry I said ABOUT 23 bucks instead specifically $18. It's worth doing it for $18-$23. They eventually go.
@@joezapiain The camshaft sensor is on the upper engine block in front. The crankshaft sensor is located on the lower block left side right about 6" above oil pan. That's the one you need to move the compressor a bit to get at it. It's real tight.
@@neilouellette3004 damn your comment said camshaft sensor was under the compressor, wish I had known it was the crankshaft sensor
AC Leaks can be one of the trickiest things to pinpoint. The cleaner is AC system Flush solvent, you can find it in both aerosol cans or just non-pressurized containers (which require a separate tool to use).
great job-- really helped and i have the shop manual but this is better for my 2002 lincoln towncar
That particular ratchet I am using there is a Matco BFR128LFT ratchet, and it's one of my favorite tools, it has very fine teeth on the ratcheting mechanism which means that you only have to turn the handle a little bit before it "ratchets"
This is in response to the "why not just replace the clutch comments?" Sure you can just replace the clutch in certain situations but if you really think about it, why? First off, the internals of the compressor gets plenty of where and tear during its life and if the external clutch is failed and you install a brand new clutch, you almost never get the proper lifespan out of the new clutch because the rest of the compressor fails well before that. Plus many times you have to do the entire AC job over again as only a rare few vehicles have enough room to remove a compressor clutch on the vehicle, To do it properly usually requires another new accumulator and performing much of the same labor and ac evacuations and recharges. Secondly, the prices of new compressors has dropped substantially. 5-15 years ago it was common place to install a re-manufactured compressor with new clutch due to cost instead of a brand new compressor. Nowadays technicians overwhelmingly choose a brand new compressor with clutch over re-manufactured compressor. Over the years of watching all of this, I have seen people spend way more money total hoping that putting just a clutch on will save money and time and in the long run, it rarely works out unless you have your own shop and can do all those procedures properly and don't mind doing a job over again.
Thank you...very useful information.
Nice video thank you same setup on my ford crown Vic police interceptor helped a lot
thank you for watching and commenting!!
I don’t have a town car but great video.
Got a leak somewhere in my 2000 Crown Vic. Add refrigerant and it holds for a few days then pressure drops off again. Added dye and I don't see anything seeping out anywhere on the condenser, lines or accumulator. I plan on replacing the o-rings, orifice tube maybe the accumulator. What is the name of that cleaner that you sprayed into the ports and condenser?
@hp11208 Yes, they are not difficult, watch our video on replacing the intake manifold on this car, pulling the coil packs is one of the steps.
supp,are the spark plugs and coil easy to change on a 05 lincoln town car
That green cap is not part of the AC system, thats actually a test port for the Evaporative Emissions system. If you ever have a diagnotistic trouble code for an "EVAP Leak," you can pump low pressure smoke into that valve to check for leaks in the EVAP system.
Most cars have a sticker under the hood that tell how many pounds of refrigerant the system holds, most cans of refrigerant are 0.75 lbs each. So if your car calls for 1.5 lbs, you would add 2 full cans.
do you know how much the same year car but in the limo version holds?
The clutch iself is replaceable, you typically need a specialty tool to pull they clutch/pulley assembly off of the compressor, unfortunately this tool can often cost almost the price of a whole compressor, which is why many people replace the whole compressor and clutch at once.
@DonBell2007 6.5oz of Oil should be sufficient, The oil gets picked up by the refrigerant and circulated throughout the entire system, so as long as there is enough to go around, you will be fine.
good job thanx for the flush gonna do a crown Victoria 1999 ac compressor
What size mounting bolts hold the compressor to the engine?
Sorry, this was done so long ago that we don't remember, and no data in the catalog for size or specs of the bolts.
2000 towncar here doing this job today. They’re 10mils
Do you know if the compressors from the Town Car/Grand Marquis/Crown Vic are year specific? Could a rebuilt compressor from a newer Crown Vic like an '04 work on an older Crown Vic like a '95?
At 13:10 when you are tightening up the hose there is an air valve ( green cap ) on your right, what is that for? I have one on my Isuzu Hombre ( Chevy S10 ) and I never could fill the AC up even though I have been doing AC for thirty years.. My dads town car needs 8 ounces and I dont want to tackle it without knowing what that valve is for.
By a/c flush solvent Do you mean Wearever gold brake parts cleaner?
haha damn you noticed that?, jk brake cleaner or alcohol is used often, however it is not the factory service manual way to flush, A steady flow of alcohol an help clean debris and oils out and it evaporates quickly, here is a link to the proper fish chemical: amzn.to/2iNb0jX
lol, a/c flush solvent is expensive! The main thing is to use a cleaner that doesn't leave a residue behind. Denatured alcohol or brake clean work well for this
How much would the cost of labor be for this service?
80
My son just got a 2003 grand marquis and the a/c will not switch from def to regular vent..The lady he got it from said the part was 700 but her mechanic would manually switch it by hand evry spring for free..Do you have any idea how to do this.?
Nice vid, I cant get my accumulator off, how did u get it loose
What's a ballpark price for this repair?
The mechanic must have been reaching up under the dash and manually changing the position of the "Mode Door." I am not sure exactly how he would do that, but often you can remove the air door actuator and manually turn the flap from one position to another.
do you have a list of tools required? (i have to change one in an underground parkade)
Can you use canned compressed air to blow out the evaporator?
Yes you can, you can use compressed air and also an alcohol spray can like brake clean, or you can purchase an ac flush chemical which is mostly just alcohol anyway
I brought a new one. Thank

I have a 1999 Lincoln Town Car and my controls for my air won't come on in the car. If your inside the car it sounds like you're running over gravel. When I popped my hood the sound appears to sound like a loose tool and is coming from the AC Compressor. The sound isn't constant, it comes and goes. Could this possibly be something wrong with the AC Compressor?
what kind of vacuum do I need for that last part?
To use a A/C vacuum pump to evacuate the moisture from the system
@DonBell2007 The flushing,, and vacuum both require specialized equipment, I recommend bringing it to a local automotive shop to let them do those steps for you. I wrote an article that explains many of the questions you have, check it out by going to autopartsdirecttoyou .info
HI
I have Lincoln town car 2001 I changed completely. And drier still not calling and it's orgenal parts why?
Is it the same process on 05 p71 crown vic
will a 2000 part fit a 2006
GOOD JOB
To me,, my initial thoughts would be that the AC clutch has gone bad and shorted out the AC system. When an AC clutch fails it can make lots of horrible noises. If a clutch fails in a certain way, the clutch coil can become shorted out which will blow the main AC fuse, which "could" in turn then cause the AC control unit to not work. This is a theory though, and would verification by checking your fuses and AC compressor clutch.
Auto Parts Direct To You is a loud belt steal one of these noises? I have the same car and this piece is giving me this loud noise. This is a good video because I now see I need to replace my Compressor
My car makes a noise from there whenever the ac is on? What could it be?
2tooful It is normal to here some noise when the compressor comes on (When the AC is on) however if it is louder then a normal hum, then unfortunately the clutch or internal portion of the compressor is starting to fail. If the AC is working ok, then you could run by a shop and ask them to have a look. A thorough inspection of the belt, tensioner and all pulleys is a good idea to make sure nothing else is failing, but most likely that is the beginning of compressor failure.
+2tooful Mechanical failure ac pump
does anyone know the type of ratchet he's usingwith the bendable head? it seems to make the screwing and unscrewing very convenient.
Why didnt you just unbolt the block from the compressor in the car?
What size bolts are the ones on ac compressor
10mm
How would I replace just the AC Compressor Clutch?
The Clutch by itself isn't a huge price difference between the entire assembly, in this case the owner of the car wanted to go ahead and knock out two birds with one stone. Why leave an original compressor on a car with almost 200k miles, when for a little bit more you can replace it and the clutch.
Thank you
What about the PAG oil?
Anyone got a 99 isuzu trooper. I bought 1. And found 3 wires not connected. Or plug ripped off. Just need help where they go. If any where.
#1 driver side fire wall 2 wires twisted coming out.
A. purple/ white wire tore. ??
Gray connected to red/white to a small plug ??? Leave alone or goes where? Saw a spot by driver headlight it would fit?
#2 dark green/yellow tore where sore tore go to ac compressor?
#3 ac compressor. Wire tore No harness plug. Where does this plug into?
Is it OK to use a used air compressor
***** You just never know. You can do all the work to replace it and find out immediately or a week later it is no good. An AC compressor that sits in a scrap yard and then goes back into daily service is rarely a good combination.
supposed to LUBE ALL THE O-RINGS WITH NYLOG...
my lincoln town car is making this clicking noise when first i start it up and it goes away after few minutes, i did an engine flush but that didn't help. and now the noise is staying longer and louder. this is a video from earlier ruclips.net/video/ml3sa-f7MBY/видео.html
This is one of those videos you watch put yiur hand over your face and just shake your head in pure disguest at how much your car has dissapointed you.
Same setup as a Crown Vic and a Grand Marquis.
Lincoln Town car AC, AIR COMPRESSOR
**"would require verification" (I somehow left out a word, haha)
@DonBell2007 no te quedes con lo primero q ue ves checa los videos de 4seasons.com.us technician toolbox esto q hace este cuate esta mal checalo
Wow... Way to replace a whole freakin compressor because the clutch bearing was wore out!!!???
I mean... You saw all the metal in the orifice tube right?
lol, who actually pays to have refrigerant sucked out of the car????
anyone who wants to work on a car responsibly and probably every single professional technician.
