Auxiliary Climate Control: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln Aviator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
An in-line filter is installed in the auxiliary evaporator inlet jumper line at the underbody peanut fitting near the floorpan line bracket. A restriction in this filter may cause misdiagnosis of a failed thermostatic expansion valve. Before a new thermostatic expansion valve is installed, this filter must be inspected and in the event of an internal compressor desiccant failure, a new filter must be installed.
The auxiliary climate control system is a one-piece unit that is located on the LH side of the vehicle between the side windows and the floorpan, behind the rear wheel well. The driver has primary control of the auxiliary climate control system or can transfer control to a rear passenger control panel.
All of the auxiliary climate control system components are serviceable from the inside of the vehicle except the lines.
