Where is the evaporator sensor?
Where is the evaporator sensor?
It’s commonly located on the passenger side on most cars, trucks, and SUV’s. Most of the time, the sensor is located towards the rear of the condenser (or closer to the rear of the vehicle as opposed to the front end). Step 6: Remove the EVAP temperature sensor.
Where is the AC EVAP sensor on a 2012 Ford Fusion?
What it seems to be for most people is the AC Evap Temp Sensor that is faulty. The part is only about $25 but the issue is that the sensor is located behind the dash. Because of the placement of the sensor and how the 2012 Fusion is made the center console as well as the dash has to come out.
Where was the AC EVAP temp sensor replaced?
Turns out the AC evap temp sensor had to be replaced behind the dash. Under warranty I had Ford replace it. Well it wasn’t a week later and the AC compressor wasn’t coming on again. I took it back for a second time and they replaced it again. They said the first replacement was defective.
Why does my Ford Fusion turn into hot CarGurus?
SO, my belief is that in high humidity like we’ve had, using Max-A/C causes ice to form on the sensor tip, leading the electronics to default to winter-mode and blasting heat instead of cool air. Since I have run it in “normal” A/C, no problem.
Why does the dash come out on a 2012 Ford Fusion?
Because of the placement of the sensor and how the 2012 Fusion is made the center console as well as the dash has to come out. If you take it to a shop they are going to charge an arm and a leg. I’m hopefully going to be replacing the sensor with the help of my father this week. Hopefully this helps you some.
How to fix the Ford Fusion AC EVAP sensor?
In some cases the thermistor will open (resistance=infinite) in others it will show the problem only when moisten, it will cause the AC compressor shut down. If this is your case, the wires must be chopped off in order to guarantee the good resistance measurement.
Is there a workaround for the AC evaporator sensor?
Workaround that avoids the replacement of the AC evaporator sensor from all Ford Fusions up to 2012. A problem that Ford should take care in guarantee considering the poor quality of the sensor used and because it is a recurring problem on several vehicles.
How much does it cost to replace a Ford Fusion sensor?
Ford recommends the replacement of this sensor, to do that, the complete dashboard removal is mandatory. The service costs around U$ 600 and the sensor around U$ 20. Therefore, it is not cheap. No tools needed. Disassembly of the glove box pressing it on both sides.
What is good resistor for Ford Fusion AC?
The good resistor is shown on the chart. A 37 kOhm resistor will generate a signal equivalent to 20 Celsius and avoid the compressor to shut down. When using AC on very cold days, the evaporator may ice, in this case you have only to shut the AC off and let the ventilation working.
