[altpath]

would it be possible to do this mod on a 98 town car? I can't figure out where the evaporator is on this car.

[scottykilmer]

@altpath sure you can do it, the evap is often under the hood on that model, but if not, it's behind the glove box.

@scottykilmer i wanted to know how i can add air conditioning repair seal and 134A refrigerant with the ac fan being able to spin i really think thats its just a leak in the compressor but the motor wont spin and allow the seal to work itself in. what should i do?

[scottykilmer]

@dfgforlife that leak seal rarely works and often clogs stuff up. I've never seen it stop a compressor leak, but I've seen it lock up many compressors.

[scottykilmer]

@altpath very hard to get to the evap on that car, hidden waay inside the dash.

[TheYoimilan]

how if i dont't use thermostat n just by pass from ccompressot to battery? or just give manual switch,e

[scottykilmer]

@TheYoimilan you can run it without a thermostat, but the ac system can then create ice and freeze up. then you'd have to shut if off a short time until it melted the ice.

[dfgforlife]

@scottykilmer i meant to say the ac clutch is not spinning
