I have a 1999 expedition eddie bauer edition w/rear a/c I charged the system so far I have cold air in the front part but no cold lines or cold air in back unit I called a buddy who has a shop and asked him what he thought my problem was,he said the expansion valve in the front was not allowing coolant to be diverted to the lines to the rear also said the orifice tube was plugged up.
Heres my dilemma before I spend about $200.00 on these parts along with the accumulator another $85.00 does anyone think this sounds right I am doing the labor myself any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

His diagnosis makes sense since the rear lines are not cold. If they were cold I would say it's a blend door issue.

BTW - It might not be a bad idea to keep it this way for when the wife goes through menopause. As those hot flashes come and go, she can move to the front or rear of the vehicle accordingly.

 

I just wanted to say thanks for your input and as far as the wifey goes shes a little on the heavy side and is only 46 yrs. old i guess when she stops being hot all the time I guess I have the hot flashes to deal with ohhhhhhh boy!!!!!
Anyhow thanks alloro for the input I'm a new member I have about 24 yrs experience in the automotive feild as a mechanic,paint&body,auto parts counter sales, so I am alittle familiar with trouble shooting just not comfortable with a/c yet,I do have 1 bad habit we race late model and modified dirt cars we build our own chassis and motors so if yor ever in mesquite texas drop me a e=mail we would love to have y'all come down to the races!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Cheaper yes, but the big problem with ordering from RockAuto is the shipping time. UPS is what's offered and it is the slowest shipper around. From the time something is ordered from RA it's 2 weeks before it gets here. No one want to have their vehicle down for 2 weeks waiting for a part to arrive. Especially when other sites offer USPS Priority Mail and can get the part to me in 4 or 5 days from all the way from across the country.

 

Hmm, when I'm in no hurry I always order from RA and it's always been 2 weeks before the parts get here. When I need stuff fast I don't. I've never had anything arrive in 2-4 business days, but that's my experience.

 

Alloro thanks again for your input I think my client may not want to wait 2 weeks for his truck he is after all a county sheriff and my friend so don't really need to **** him off{if you know what I mean} once again thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
