Is. The drier assy located in the hot gas inlet of the condenser or the outlet side feeding the evap.

 

I read that very long thread on the resistor hack. My question is how hard is it to get to the evap sensor?sounds like ford may have put the sensor in the wrong location, too deep in the coil, or were air doesnt pass over the coil well.. So how hard would it be to relocate the senser to say just off the edge or just off the coil itself so it doesnt cool off so quick.

 

not sure how. You would need to remove dash, open evap box then try. It was my understanding initially from the service manager, that the probe was defective. Personally, i think its a programming thing.

 

 

Sorry to say, evap temp sensor repair on my 2016 e-150 van , dash has to be pulled.

Company traded for a new van instead of paying to fix it. Compressor was not cycling, freezing evap. As a temp fix, I just turned a/c off/on manually.

They bought a Chevy this time.

 

I saw a you tube vid on a dirrernt fix. Guy bought a temp sensor for 2013 ford fusion said he was gunna drill hole in box and install beside original. He said in video he tested it so i assume it had same resistance. But did not show it working after install. Anyone heard or tried this fix

 

i think there may have been some discussions in that post, but felt it was far to easy touse a resistor to resolve.

 

So i put a 10k ohm resister in the path of the evap sensor. And yep, the compressor runs without cycling. COLD air below 40 at the duct. I will install a switch. As mentioned in the other post. To isolate the resistor when i dont need the air to be so cold. Thanks for all the input.. this is exactly how a forum should work. A lot of help and not a lot of smart *** remarks.

 

So what do you think help the most? The flushing and proper refilling of the system or the resistor mod?

 

Cleaning and filling to exact specifications should be best - all modern compressors run on cycles and they really need to, which also helps with not loading the engine all the time. The issues can be that if they've too much oil and/or trace dye in them, it's like having too much coolant Vs. water, it's not going to be as effective.

Don't forget the cycling is done based on pressure, as mentioned earlier in this thread, so if the loading is off, then it'll not working correctly either. Also reference this video.
