How To Replace a Leaking A/C Condenser Core (Lincoln mkS / Ford Taurus)

How To Replace a Leaking A/C Condenser Core (Lincoln mkS / Ford Taurus)

Air conditioning condenser core not working? Learn how to properly replace your air conditioning condenser core so you can get cold air this summer! I show you how to replace a condenser core in a Lincoln mkS but the process is similar for any car or truck. This works for a condenser core that is cracked or super dirty which are common causes for why you are not getting cold air because the condenser core is bad.

The condenser is responsible for releasing the heat from the refrigerant into the ambient air. Over time, grime, bugs and other small particles can build up on its surface and in the gaps of its mesh. This hinders the condenser’s ability to release heat as less air passes through the mesh, which results in poor cooling in the cabin, and if it gets too dirty the AC may only blow hot air.

Shop quoted $800 for this job. At least now I know it really is pretty involved. Thanks for the video!

Adam Meyer says:

seems simpler to take off the front bracket above the condenser instead of draining and removing the radiator

Bigmoe23x says:

THANK YOU BRO YOU SAVED MY LIFE !!!!

Henry B. says:

Nice video. Is this the same for a 2008 Ford Taurus?

Chico Deon says:

AWESOME VIDEO THANK YOU

EATSLEEPJD says:

Good stuff man !

Rj Smith says:

Alright man. You are great detailed in instruction but no need to drain antifreeze! Or remove upper cooler hose. Rotate the fan from driver side to the top and it comes out. Hour saved. Keep up the good work and videos.

Darrell Herrick says:

The separation gap is because it used as both a condenser for the AC and a transmission cooler. The top part is the transmission cooler, which is usually 5 or 6 horizontal runs.
