Chrysler 2AMC3320AA Condenser And Transmission Cooler

Installation is the reverse of removal. Make certain to fully seat the condenser into the mounting clips and retainers. Install new O-rings onto the line fittings and lightly coat them with refrigerant oil. Note: Only use 0-rings that are designed specifically for A/C system applications. If you are replacing the NC condenser with a new unit, add 1.7-ounce (50 ml) of refrigerant oil to the replacement. Have the system evacuated, recharged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.

Additional refrigerant oil must be added equal to the amount that is removed with the component being replaced. Be sure to read the label on the oil container to verify that it is compatible with the R-134a system before adding any of it to the system. Have the system discharged and the refrigerant recovered by an air conditioning technician. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.

Have the system discharged. Remove the battery. Drain the cooling system. Remove the radiator. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the condenser. Lift the condenser out of the vehicle and plug the lines to keep dirt and moisture out. Inspect the rubber insulator pads on which the condenser sits, Replace them if they're dried or cracked. If the original condenser will be reinstalled, store it with the line fittings on top to prevent oil from draining out. If a new condenser is being installed, pour one ounce of refrigerant oil into it prior to installation. Reinstall the components in the reverse order of removal. Be sure the rubber pads are in place under the condenser. Have the system evacuated, recharged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.
