Follow the smaller diameter high side line till you see a spot where there are dimples pushed in. These are the stops for the orifice so it doesn't get pushed too far in. They are usually at the front where the line goes to the radiator/condenser area.

it is located in the high pressure AC line at the AC evaporator core inlet. The high pressure line is the smaller of the two AC lines that come from the AC compressor on the engine..

SOURCE: How do I locate the ignition switch and remove it

The ignition switch is located on the top of the steering column underneath the dash.

1. Remove the cover panel from under the steering column and you should see the bracket that holds up the steering column, but before you un-bolt the bracket to lower the steering column, you must remove the clip holding the shifter position indicator cable to the column. (put the shifter into drive and you should be able to see the screw that holds the shift indicator cable adjusting clip to the steering column)

2. Remove the bracket holding up the steering column and carefully let the steering column down as far as it will go, the steering wheel will probably be resting on the seat.

3. You should now be able to see the ignition switch on the top of the steering column, and the two mounting bolts. The high beam switch might share the upper ignition switch bolt, and you will then need to remove the high beam switch before you can remove the ignition switch.

4. Remove the ignition switch mounting bolts (usually 5/16 but I have also seen 11/32 and 3/8 size bolt heads used)

5. Remove the ignition switch by lifting straight up from the column to dis-engage the interlink rod from the ignition tumbler assembly, you should then be able to pull the ignition over towards you just enough to dis-connect the two wire connectors to the switch and then you can remove the old switch from the vehicle. (the interlink rod is sticking straight up from the steering column and it slides up and down with the operation of the key, it fits into a notch in the ignition switch and that is what actuates the switch)

6. Reverse procedure to install new switch, starting with re-connecting the wire connectors and be sure that the interlink rod goes into the notch in the ignition switch.

7. When the switch has been re-installed and is ready to be adjusted, turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and hold the key in that position and slide the ignition switch up and down until it is in the on position and your dash lights come on, tighten up the ignition switch mounting bolts and then test the operation of the switch, and re-adjust if necessary until the switch operates properly.

8. Adjust the high beam switch by pulling back on the high beam lever and just taking up the slack in the actuator rod to the high beam switch, test the operation of the high beam switch and re-adjust if necessary.

9. When the steering column is bolted back up, re-attach and adjust the shifter position indicator by placing the shifter in neutral and slide the adjusting cable clip until the shift indicator is pointing in the neutral position, test the function of the shift indicator and adjust as necessary.

Where is orifice tube located on 2005 envoy

20200716_082140-undefined-undefined-0.jpg

2005 GMC Xl doesn't appear to have an orifice tube where you'd expect to find it, -in its normal location.

Suggestion: if the fluid looks good inside the receiver/Dryer and the pressure is within range, send it.

Otherwise you're probably looking at a failed compressor and a clogged core or condenser at this age of the vehicle.

Where is the orifice tube on my 1998 gmc sierra air conditioner system

In front of your radiator is the condensor. On the passenger side of the condensor are two lines. One runs parallel with the condensor fins (upper), and the other runs at an angle (lower). The lower line in the condensor is where your orifice is located. Properly evacuate the system and remove the fitting on the lower line. the orifice is located in the the tube that is at an angle on the condensor Look inside the tube and you will see the top of the orifice. looks like a crosshair. Carefully remove it with good needle nose pliers. DO NOT TWIST WHILE TRYING TO REMOVE IT. Just pull it out of the tube. It may be a little stubborn. Once removed, install the new orifice and replace the o ring on the line fitting. Have the system checked for leaks and recharge with freon.

What is the purpose, and what is the proper location of the orifice tube in the air conditioning system on my 1991 chevy silverado?

The orifice tube restricts the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator. This restriction allows high pressure liquid freon to change into low pressure freon before entering the evaporator. The orifice tube is located inside the hose running between the condenser and the evaporator. You'll need an orifice tube removal kit if you are looking to remove it.

Were is the orifice tube located on a 1991 gmc truck 5.7l

It is located just before the evaporator but...

This job requires special tools and special training. If you lack either, you risk SERIOUS personal injury. Injury comes VERY EASILY!

You need to address oil levels, proper and legal refrigerant recovery, system evacuation, and recharge.

You were planning to also replace the receiver/dryer, correct? It also needs the oil in it measured and incorporated into the amount of oil (in %) that would need to be added. FAILURE to address these and other issues will guarantee premature system failure and likely compressor damage.

Take this job to a qualified shop.

Sorry
