Ford E 150 Accelerating AC Fix

This is a step by step video of how to fix the ac on a 2000-2005 ford e150. Ac works good and is cold when at idle or not accelerating...But as soon as i press on the gas the ac goes away and when i let off the ac comes back. This is the easiest solution to re-route the vaccum hoses and add a new reservoir without taking the whole dash apart. Hope this helps. Comment, like, or subscribe... thanks for watching.

My son and I just followed this video step by step. My 2008 Ford E350 AC is now working!! We live in Phoenix, Arizona and AC is a must in the summers here. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video out for us, it saved my family and I a ton of money.

[@electropanel1211]

Watched all the videos and yours is the best so far, thank you for providing people with your knowledge of this repair.

[@hulk01921]

Went to 3 different garbage mechanics all said I need to replace different things! Thank you I fixed my 2000 ford e-350 in 25 minutes. AC ON ALL DAY LONG!

[@556brian1]

Hey man! Just did this exact fix on my 2004 E450 V10. Same exact parts and everything. Works perfect and fixed an issue I’ve been putting off for over a year! Took me 30 min after watching your video. Thanks for doing this!! You rock dude!

[@ohyeah3750]

Just ordered those parts [8/14/19] $12 for the valve on Ebay and $17 for the reservoir on Amazon. Free shipping on both. Only been putting up with this problem for 17 years. Many thanks.

[@anonymousperson2578]

Thanks for taking the time to share this info. The dealership wanted to charge me $800 for this. Good job!

[@kevinp1858]

Great video. Loved the fact that you used the original equipment just relocated them. And provided the part numbers as well. Great job. All the camera equipment and video editing in the world cant replace knowledge! Thanks a lot!

[@Pickinwilly71]

Thank you for making this video man, I just fixed the AC on my van...you've got the best video to fix this problem.

Thanks a bunch. You fixed my van. You are a good man for taking the time to post this!!!

Best Blend door heater/ac fix video! THANK YOU SIR!

[@DvjLuna]

I have a 2012 E350 that has the same problem and most of the configuration of the older vans such as your Econoline was used when Ford went to the E series on these vans. I thank you for this video... Very helpful!!!

[@tracyp1922]

All summer with no AC - fixed!! THANK YOU!!

Finally, a video that shows how to fix. Thanks

[@palapadepot7393]

Thank you very much. It fixed the problem perfectly on my e350 ford van.

[@edwilliams6463]

Only thing I did different was I drilled a 5/16 hole about 2 " lower than the bolt ,it just worked a little easier for me ..30 mins done and working great..thanks for your video ..will be doing my second van tomorrow..

[@mbrundrett69]

good fix. i had this same issue. the cold one helped thanks for that tip. however i found the grommet that comes through the heater box under the passenger side dash is the perfect spot to run the new line. i taped a string to the old hose and pulled it through. then from inside taped that to the new hose and pulled it up through the engine compartment and attached it to the red hose. basically replaced the hose with 3 feet of new hose. the old check valve came up with the old line, and i relocated that under the dash with the new vacuum tank. Thank you for this video it helped a lot.

[@luismeza4978]

Thank you very much for your video, the line is 5/32 I bought it for two dollars in Pep Boys thanks again

[@z4u68]

Going to try this, My 2006 with only 60k does this, going up a hill the ac stops and comes back after i get on level ground. thanks for taking the time.

[@aarghsweet1154]

Thanks, just a tip before you start. I replaced the reservoir and check valve, same problem. Changed the dashboard console, same thing...found the white vacuum line had been knocked off the blend door actuator by the passengers feet. Might save someone all the trouble. Cant believe it was something so simple OR that no-one else mentioned this problem.

[@pauliej4208]

Same happened to me. Only discovered it after I finally just listened for the leak and located the dislodged line near the passenger footwell. Gotta bunch of uselessly new parts in meantime. Oh well.

[@louiegarcia7527]

thanks,this really helps .

[@tatarhead]

Thanks for taking the time to do this video... Saved all of us a ton of dough and time... We all owe you a Cold One...

[@craigcarrillo]

I have a 1998 Ford E-350 Club Wagon with V-8 gas engine. I developed a leak in at my vacuum reservoir or line and it was hidden under my blower/coil unit which is totally inaccessible. I disconnected the line from the vacuum control valve leading to the old reservoir and installed my new factory Ford reservoir under my battery tray with a bolt. The vacuum port comes out straight down from the top of the battery about 11 inches. I literally left everything else in place. I liked it so much better than the reroute here. I didn't have anything to go by when I did this project.

I was like damn im fuckin with ya but them damn camera skills! Lmao. Shout out man ty for the help.

[@hallhouse5098]

I fixed mine similarly a couple years ago. I used a reservoir from a 99 jeep cherokee parts vehicle since myFord van reservoir is square and has a seam which is the weak point and the original only lasted 7 years so I figured the round seamless one from a cherokee would last forever and it’s been perfect now since 2014.

[@CaptainChris69]

Great video, it's not a wire, or cord, it's a vacuum line. But we all got the jist. Thanks

[@NCE919]

I'm an electrician, use to calling things a wire lol

[@peterford9369]

What I keep trying to figure out is, where is the original break in the tubing that stops vacuum from working? I've checked and checked, it was working till I did new plugs and coils and now suddenly it's not working. The reservoir is nothing more than a sealed plastic box with a nipple. It shouldn't be broken. It's crazy this happens and new vac hose should make it new again. Thanks for the video. Good job.

[@eddiecapers2257]

I have a 06 Ford van E350 my blower work but it's no air coming out none of the vents in the front what this video helped it

[@lacsa727]

AWESOME! Video. THANKS!!! I'm a Gurl who's not afraid to get her hands dirty. I'm gonna try this. TFS :O)

[@Leapdog01]

What was the size of the new black hose you used?

[@1cespicegrahh]

What if i have the opposite effect? Cool when driving but gets warm when idling

[@lavendereyesgal1125]

My question is what caused it to stop working? Is it the check valve or the resavor?

[@kevinobrien7529]

Why did you need a new Reservoir? What happened to the old one?

[@keunhyungkimswim]

i confused another video show about into the hose line that diffrent location can you explan to me?

[@82PeRK]

another issue especially when MAX AIR doesnt work is a vacuum hose breaks apart on one of the acuators located on the very top of the dash. right in the center at the very top. the good news is, u will have an access panel to be able to get to it. GOOD LUCK

[@luistabares6994]

Hi there I have a problem with my A/C I have a ford 2005 E150 the clouch don't stop. it is running all the time its works the way or like the others running every 30 seconds thanks if some body can help me

[@rubensoto4505]

Fix it thanks 2014van 🥶 save a lots of 💰

[@gmax341]

Mines turns off under very heavy acceleration. I have read that this is normal to provide extra power.

[@excell1989]

Can you relocate the reservoir under the hood?

[@manuelsalgado8510]

Would this be the same procedure for a 2006 E 350 super duty? I have the same issue, . Also would this keep the van from passing an inspection? Thanks for the video bro, looking forward to tackling this issue myself

[@lookingbehind6335]

Did you do the job and get an answer about inspection? I was also wondering the same thing.

[@manuelsalgado8510]

@@lookingbehind6335 yes I fixed it, my truck is running great, AC works great too

[@closcaz3867]

My 2014 blows ice cold when driving, but when at idle it blows warmer air,the system is charge, compressor works fine, the condenser is not clog, what could it be?

[@dee1380]

My 1989 Lincoln Town Car does the same. Also when I select floor on the control panel, the fan shuts off, & the defrost selection blows out of the vents, not the air duct under the windshield.. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance..

[@NCE919]

Possibly a hvac door actuator

[@taylorharrisonwong]

Any specific caulking needed for the firewall? High temp / silicone / etc

[@NCE919]

Probably high temp

[@BigSkiSale]

Does this prevent you from switching back to defrost with the control knob, and just give you permanent dash air?? Thanks!!

[@NCE919]

I still have full control of all the air vents. I am no mechanic. Just figured out this quick fix

[@NCE919]

No I have control of all my vents. Works as should

[@sasquatchwatching5631]

Is the reservoir needed

[@timcarter57]

is this the same fix as when the air is only coming out of the defrost vents?

[@NCE919]

Yes

[@greghackney8437]

What is this doing? Why doesn't the van come this way?

Has anyone had trouble with inspection after doing this?

No cabin filter on the E series 😬

[@brotherdaveseattle2791]

Hate all the racket

[@bulliontoy]

Thanks for the knowledge but itd not a wire it's a tube. Your camera work and not using a tripod made it almost not watchable.

[@daryllittleton6765]

This makes me nervous that people call it a wire. Wouldn't that be called a vacuum hose I know that you probably know what you're talking about but then again makesme a little hesitant. I already can easily screw things up lol

[@lookingbehind6335]

Wow…..lucky for you he didn’t identify it as a line instead of wire. That might have sent your nerves ticks into full on cardiac arrest. People got the point and were able to save themselves hundreds of dollars. I’m sure they appreciate him even if he didn’t use proper terminology.

[@daryllittleton6765]

@@lookingbehind6335 well gee I guess it's just because my AC had much more problems than yours did or his did. I didn't get this van by choice technically it was picked out for me. Kind of a here have a van now get the fuck out of my house. So far I probably think about two grand into it not just the AC but everything there is but mostly part of the cooling system considering that it was mud. Having zero refrigerant in it has been fun to learn about learning how to use manifold gauges. And plus I just like to be a smart-ass it makes me sound smart and like an asshole. I don't mind that.

[@JohnSmith-sf8gj]

It will get worse. Don't wait. Eventually it will only come out of the defrost vents!

[@jameshathaway8270]

Its a vaccum hose...not a wire!

[@luismiguel4156]

I thought it was vacuum hose problem 😳

[@MasterChief-sl9ro]

You cheap as people. Just spend $40.00 for a new Vacuum Booster. Mount it under the battery tray. Pull the hose out of the old one. Install on the new one. Done. No having to remove the old one. Which takes 7 hours.

[@djjoshua007]

WTF? WIRE? LOL!!! is there a WIRE in there?????

[@NCE919]

I’m a electrician, so I call everything a wire. It’s habit but I should of called it the proper name. I was just trying to help ppl fix something very common on these vans. I misspoke and realized it before I posted the video but said f*ck it and posted it anyways because who really cares as long as you understand what I meant and can now fix the ac on your van.

[@tomkelly3896]

Still dont work🤡

[@rickybobby6386]

I have tried every single you to fix for this piece of junk Ford van and nothing works. At least your video help me get are to the face vents around the city but when I get on the highway still goes to defrost. not sure if there is something broke under the dash this truck was in an accident before we got it

[@jaygold4467]

Awful presented video. It's not a "wire". It's a vacuum line.

[@jeremysonnier9993]

The profanity is unnecessary and unprofessional. I turned the video off at that point.

Hopefully you are joking. He never claimed to be professional and profanity is mandatory for proper vehicle repair. After changing your maxi pad, did you use his method successfully?
