Ford Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

To prevent damage to the fan wheel vanes, the fan wheel must not be touched. For this reason, a special tool (412-131) has been introduced for removal and installation of the blower motor. This tool is pushed onto the central shaft in order to lift out the blower motor.

Heat exchanger

The heat exchanger is accessible from the right-hand side of the climate control housing (LHD and RHD). It can be removed and installed with the climate control housing still installed in the vehicle. During removal, the coolant pipes of the production heater core must be sawn through. During servicing, a heater core with separate coolant pipes is installed.

Evaporator

The evaporator is located on the right-hand side of the climate control housing (LHD and RHD). It can be removed and installed with the climate control housing still installed in the vehicle, although the heat exchanger does need to be removed first. The refrigerant lines of the production evaporator must be sawn through during removal. An evaporator with separate refrigerant lines is installed in service.
