Franklin, NC, is a rather small city with a lot of churches with big parking lots. Many years ago the town leaders decide to install parking meters as a source of additional revenue, turned out the meters didn't bring in enough money to cover the wages of the one city employee who collected the coins. About three years later the meters were removed and downtown returned to normal.

Car AC problem/symptom and question

Those are much larger than what is found in AC desiccant bags. The particle size is closer to sand. I have also flushed a fair amount of sand out of cooling systems in the last few years too. - Today

I'm curious as to how they determined the evap coil was clogged?? Once low side refrigerant is blocked, or restricted, suction pressure drops. Once suction pressure drops, there is not as much refrigerant for the compressor to pump, and the high side pressure drops too. -

Thanks Karl. We are doing much better. So many people have been helping out. It's been such a blessing to see just how many good folks there are still out there! We got a huge camper upgrade just because of the generosity of the owner. We're now in a big "bus" as my kids call it, and it is so nice that it almost feels like home. Almost... In addition we will have temporary power on Monday which will be a massive help. Clean up crews will be back beginning tomorrow as well. Then we're just beginning the long process of tearing down and rebuilding. Not all of the house will come down but nearly all of the living space will be torn down or at least to the studs and floor joists in a large portion. And of course everything above the ceiling end to end for the entire house. BUT- we have been blessed and humbled by this and the response of everyone. We will be stronger on the backside of this!

I've only met Don in real life once but I think it's safe to say no one knows his breed. -
thank you everyone. After taking another look today and finally realizing after looking stupid internally that the hair pins are too long and were hitting the bottom of the steering block that attaches to the frame, cotter pin should be what is in theref from now on. Did have an additional question, in need of a belt for 48" deck. the belt that goes from the pto to the deck has big tears in it, am I able to get one from a tractor supply or possible walmart?

Car AC problem/symptom and question

I’m still struggling to understand how anything would get inside the evaporator to clog it. I just threw about 813 silica beads at this expansion valve and not one of them made it through. -
I wonder if I'll even get the bill. Our mailing address is a P.O. box, not the physical address on the car's registration. A couple years ago, I went across the new bridge on I65 over the Ohio River at Louisville. They used the physical address the toll bill. The first 2 notices used the physical address and were returned. The 3rd notice was aladdressed to the physical address, but the postal clerk recognized it and put it in the PO box - and advantage of a small town post office. By that time, there was a lein on my truck and a $70 penalty. I argued with the customer service person, pointing out that they got the wrong address and that it is very hard to pay a bill that you don't know about. No quarter given. I gave up, paid the bill, and we haven't used that bridge since - we add about 12 miles to around it. This is why I'm trying to stay ahead of the Chicago deal. Next time I have to go to O'Hara, we are going to hire a car - let somebody else fight the traffic and worry about tolls.
-
I never go to the Chicago area. This is just one of the reasons. But you probably will get a bill in the mail in a couple months with a picture of your license plate. I've had that in a couple other states. Classic toll road logic - let's spend $20 to collect $4...
-
In our recent travels, we made a wrong turn exiting O'Hara airport and found ourselves going in the wrong direction on a toll road. Had we made the proper turn, we would not have been on the toll road. We took the next exit and turned The toll roads around Chicago are now fully electronic. I've been on line trying to find our toll - with no success. All I get is a screen saying that I have entered incorrect information, please try again. Calls to customer service have not been too helpful, either. Today's call said I need an account to pay by phone during the 14 day grace period, otherwise I need to call after 30 days to pay by phone - that is what I am going to do. This system is incredibly confusing and inconvenient for the out of state occasional user - the last time I used a toll road in Chicago, I tossed change into a basket at a toll booth. I don't anticipate needing to use this road system in the near future - certainly not often enough to set up an account. Does anybody know of a method where I could pay this toll on line with just my license plate number and no toll road account?

If the gears are too tight that also a proble hard steering and an extra load on that cotter pin. The fan gear is cast iron not machined the best you will ever get taking out the play in the steering is about an inch to !" to 1 1/4" play in the steering wheel.

As I have said before, based on seeing it often enough, his desiccant bag failed and allowed the silica to get free in the system. Those particles are plenty big enough to clog an evap core internally. And since when is a Ford Edge a Stellantis product? -

I never have seen an internally clogged evaporator either. I hardly ever saw a leaky evap either until about 30 years ago. Now nobody can make one that doesn't leak! -
Hope you are making out okay.

The odd thing is too after researching them, some came from the factory without a hood so no hood is technically factory correct. -
The purple wire should have power with the ignition in the RUN position - engine does not need to be running. There is a fuse in that wire so check that. You should have power both sides of the fuse. If not check connections at the ignition switch and possibly ignition switch failure. This circuit also charges your battery.

If the compressor parts are tiny enough to pass through the expansion valve, it would be smooth sailing on the way out of the evaporator, don’t ya think? Sounds like the new expansion valve trapped more compressor trash. I’ve never seen a clogged evaporator, just leaky ones. The condenser includes the receiver/dryer, so i’d replace the condenser because it’s probably full of compressor trash, flush the lines, replace the compressor and throw another expansion valve on it. 2 oz’s of pag46 oil in the condenser and most compressors are prefilled with oil now so you’d be good there. kinda hard to believe a trashed compressor would be capable of 300psi though. Chances are it’s just a junk expansion valve right out of the box. Quality parts are getting rare these days. edit: i’d blow air through that evaporator to see the clog for myself. Wouldn’t be the first time something came in to our shop from another shop with an enormous estimate because they didn’t know what was wrong and priced it sky high to get out of it.
