A/C compressor replacement
Is it even possible to replace an A/C compressor on a 2015 F150 5.0l 4wd? I’m completely lost and I’m just talking about removing it. I thought the starter was a pain but I can’t even begin to figure this compressor out. Not one thing I can find online either! HELP! Please!

Gonna need an a/c machine to evacuate and store oils. Changing out the compressor should be straightforward. Loosen the accessories belt, disconnect the electrical connections, unbolt it, remove. Add in proper amount of oil for the compressor, install, reconnect lines and electrical connections, reconnect high and low lines. Attach a/c machine to test for leaks and refill the system.
What leads you to believe the compressor is the problem? The signals to get the a/c on is run by the BCM or BDCM (same thing)

Remove belt, electrical connection, tubing connections, locate fastening bolts from under the vehicle and remove compressor by taking off passenger side front wheel and proceed through that opening after removing inner fender plastic piece. This info from A/C shop which had the proper equipment to evacuate and refill system. BTW there are several good videos on how to replace the starter including the length of the socket extension needed which helps 'blind' locate the mounting bolts.
