2003 FORD MUSTANG oil

The suction accumulator (19C836) is mounted to the A/C accumulator bracket (19D606) to the right of
the vehicle centerline. The inlet tube of the suction accumulator attaches directly to the A/C evaporator
core outlet tube and the outlet tube attaches to the A/C manifold and tube.
After entering the inlet of the suction accumulator, the heavier oil-
laden refrigerant contacts an
internally mounted dome (which serves as an umbrella) and drips down onto the bottom of the
canister.
zA small diameter oil bleed hole, in the bottom of the vapor return tube, allows the accumulated
heavier liquid refrigerant and oil mixture to reenter the compressor suction line at a controlled
rate.
z As the heavier mixture passes through the small diameter liquid bleed hole, it has a second
chance to vaporize and recirculate through the A/C compressor without causing compressor
damage due to slugging.
z A fine mesh screened filter fits tightly around the bottom of the vapor return tube to filter out
refrigerant system contaminant particles.
z A desiccant bag is mounted inside the canister to absorb any moisture which may be in the
refrigerant system.
z A fitting located on the top of the suction accumulator is used to attach the A/C cycling switch. A
long- travel Schrader- type valve stem core is installed in the fitting so that the A/C cycling switch
can be removed without discharging the A/C system.
A/C Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader- type valve fitting on the top of the suction
accumulator.
zA valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C cycling switch, presses in on the
Schrader valve stem.
z This allows the suction pressure inside the suction accumulator to control the operation of the
A/C cycling switch.
z The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops. The contacts close when
the suction pressure rises. For specifications regarding operating pressure(s), refer to Section 412 - 00 .
z The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the
plate/fin surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
z This prevents icing of the A/C evaporator core and blockage of air flow.
z It is not necessary to discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C cycling switch.
Dual- Function Pressure Switch (4.6L)
The dual- function pressure switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event of high Klj . 7 ba

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor —
3.8L
Removal and Installation CAUTION: If installing a new air conditioning compressor due to an internal failure of the
old unit, you must carry out the following procedures to remove contamination from the air
conditioning system.
zIf A/C flushing equipment is available, carry out the flushing of the air conditioning
system prior to installing a new air conditioning compressor. For additional information,
refer to Section 412 - 00 .
z If A/C flushing equipment is not available, carry out filtering of the air conditioning
system after a new air conditioning compressor has been installed. For additional
information, refer to Section 412 - 00 .
z Install a new evaporator core orifice (19D990), as directed by the A/C flushing or filtering
procedure.
z Install a new suction accumulator (19C836), as directed by the A/C flushing or filtering
procedure.
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning
system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor
or damage to the suction accumulator.
1. If flushing of the air conditioning system has not been performed, recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 00 .
2. Disconnect the battery. For additional information, refer to Section 414 - 01
3. Unlatch the air breather.
