1998 Ford Contour Blower Motor Replacement Rear Window Replacement AC Diagnosis -Fixing it Forward

Опубликовано 11 декабря 2015, 11:14

It's a long title, "1998 Ford Contour Blower Motor Replacement Rear Window Replacement AC Diagnosis -Fixing it Forward", but it pretty much describes what happens in this video.

I was able to replace the blower motor with relative ease in this video. In fact, it's the easiest blower motor I've ever done.

Once I had the blower motor fixed, I turned my attention to the AC operation. This video also demonstrates how to diagnose AC problems using dye and a leak detector.

While the AC system was evacuating I decided to replace the right rear window glass. I knew this would be a challenge as rear window glass often is. Front glass is often no problem, but rear windows often seem to be more involved. That said, I was still able to get the job done.

We're getting ever closer to returning this car to Jeff. By the time he gets it back, he should have a good running and braking car with working AC!
