my 12' f150 is having some ac issues. Schrader valves were leaking, replaced the expansion valve and the dryer/orifice tube. Cooling way better than it was. The shop sent screen shots of the data showing the evap core is getting down to 37 degrees but out of the vents was in the low 50s. They're claiming it must be a restriction through the evap core. The fan motor is relatively new motorcraft.
Im not paying them $2500 to replace it and not looking forward to a full weekend to yank the dash. Anyone had luck cleaning an evap core up any still in the vehicle? My dog rides along ALL the time and it's always on recirc so wondering if it isnt full of dog hair (no cabin filter on these trucks).
I was planning to see if I can get my inspection camera up the vent from the fan and look around. I've seen various posts and youtube of videos of people sending vacuum lines up the duct from the fan or removing the air bag/glove box and cutting an access panel to get in there as well. Obviously cutting a panel is the biggest risk to really screwing something up.
Just wondering if anyone's done it with any success since it's not leaking.
