Ac repair procedure 2003 ford taurus

That's not the way you do it, you remove the AC Compressor and fit a Bypass Pulley in its place. The belt and routing remain the same.

belt 82 1/2 " long at parts store --part #5060825 -- fits perfectly to bypass AC on 2003 Taurus
you will need to purchase a serpentine belt for a taurus that isn't equipped with airconditioning, and that will match up just right with the other pulleys

at the auto parts store get a belt for a Taurus with no AC. GET THE BELT ROUTING DIAGRAM TOO

Use a no A/C serpentine belt to bypass

Yes you can. Just purchase a belt for one without AC and put it on. Of course after that you'll have no AC.

auto zone sells a bypass pulley Pn 34166 Think it uses the same belt

Yes in most of these instenses you can replace just the clutch assy. advance auto parts does offer it sepperatly. and they wont have to even open any lines. it just requires a special puller kit.

have the AC tech performed a leak test on the system after recharging? is the expansion valve and filter drier as well as the o-rings for the fittings replaced? check also for possible leaks in the system in the fittings of the hose and in the evaporator housing. also check if the magnetic clutch of the AC compressor is engaged, you will hear a click when it it engaged.

It could if the front bearing is locking up, this causes the belt to stop which in turn could cause the concern.

u do not reroute the belt u buy an ac delete pulley, remove the compressor and install pulley where compressor used to be, contact ford for the pulley. very easy job.
