    '05 AC dead

    It wouldn't be much of a leak if it was the first time but it's the second time at the beginning of the third season since I had to refill back then in 2023. So in fact it's only been 2 years and there a almost was nothing in there today. Maybe the stop leak will work, but I'm fine for this...

    '05 AC dead

    I used two 6 oz cans and I threw in a 4 oz can of AC stop leak... And it finally ended up at around 32-33 PSI. But it's like an ice box in there now...lol. it's so cold that I had to put it on really low fan, not max cold either, and I turned off the recirc. It's like 81 outside and humid and...

    That's what I thought, so I will go out and start recharging and checking every 15 seconds or so. I guess as soon as I see the pressure stabilize and the compressor staying on I'll know I'm on the right track!

    '05 AC dead

    So I went out and started the car and took some measurements and it's very strange as to what's going on. When the compressor kicks in the pressure drops instantly to low and as soon as it kicks off, which it does every 10-15 seconds, it goes up to higher pressure. You can see it in the video...

    Yeah, it took 2 years for the last fill to come to the point where it's stopped working again so it is a very slow leak. I think I'll just take it to an AC repair shop, at least one that knows what they're doing this time! Thank you guys for your help!

    '05 AC dead

    Few years later but, it was definitely low on refrigerant and I've had to add again last year. They never found the leak so I will hunt down at the compressor like was mentioned in the thread, but I've never done an AC recharge before. Level of difficulty and what I should look out for? I was...

    Another battery replacement thread...

    The fact is, they're heavier than most of the group 25 batteries. The group 25 I picked up yesterday which is the 550 CCA, weighs a good 7 lb less than the Optima red top. The battery that I picked up, tends to last me 5 to 7 years for the most part with no issue. It sits on a charger all winter...

    Another battery replacement thread...

    If you really want to put the anti-gravity group 35 battery in there, you could do it without dropping the holder floor. You can easily get a battery extender kit for not a lot of money and spend about an hour extending the battery cable so that you can put in your group 35 battery backwards...

    2005 Fog Lights

    Ford has the driver side listed, so I called Ford Parts Giant and ordered it, only to find out two hours later the order got canceled, and that Ford no longer has the product, yet the listing is still up on all the Ford sites.

    Another battery replacement thread...

    You know, I've tried the Odyssey battery, and I've tried the Optima Red Top, and I have to say, they're overpriced pieces of junk, IMO. No better than a Delco but 2-3 times the price. The last Optima Red top in this car lasted less than a couple of years and I'd had problems since day one, as...

    Another battery replacement thread...

    Yeah that exactly what it is. So turned my group 25 battery around to see if it would work the same as a group 35, and as 2112 posted above, it hits the bottom of the frunk. The group 35 would have been nice because it's 200 CCA more than a group 25, but, OEM spec at Ford is a group 25 with...

    GT lower front lamps

    I'm starting to see some chipping on the top edge of my driver side front lower light. I have not been able to find a listing anywhere on line for these, guessing as impossible to get as the headlight casings...anyone know of anywhere that may have these?

    Another battery replacement thread...

    After reading your post, I went and measured the Optima Red Top I pulled out...it measures just shy of 8" in height to the top of the post. Ford OEM is 8.75" for the Group 25. The battery I am getting is a Group 35 @7.76" height. The Anti-Gravity site liists the Group 35 @ 8.75", not sure why...

    Another battery replacement thread...

    I was using an Optima Red Top, worst battery I've ever had, although many swear by it. I've had four or five years, and I had nothing but trouble during that time. Now it won't last for more than two days without being on the charger. Time to change it. I'm looking at a Group 35 AGM which is...

    '05 AC dead

    I have an appointment booked for Friday. They're going to verify the charge level, and they will use a dye to try and identify any possible leaks in the system. He told me that they can replace the o-rings if needed. These guys are one of two service centers that I work with, that I trust for...

    '05 AC dead

    Yesterday, when I took her out, I noticed that it didn't cycle... There was no change in sound or even a slight drop in RPM when I turned it on/off....I tried a few times, so you're probably right I love this place! Thanks so much for the tip!

    '05 AC dead

    That's what I'm hoping. But it went from ice cold to zero, well sitting idle in the garage on charge from November until now, which to me sounds like it might have a leak. However I am going to go this week and have them check the refrigerant levels every charge if If that's what it is! Thank you!

    My '05 is suffering from no air conditioning. Everything lights up, but no cold air, in fact the air is basically the same as ambient temperature. It's not hot, and when I turn the knob to heat, that works fine, with the AC and Max AC turned on and lit up. All the switches work correctly. I'm...
