This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update the Service Procedure.

ISSUE:
Substandard A/C performance may occur when the A/C system seems to be functioning properly. This may be caused by excessive heat pickup from the heater core and/or insufficient air flow through the condenser.

ACTION:
Verify proper A/C operation by following the diagnosis and repair procedures found in Section 12 of the appropriate Explorer Service Manual. If the A/C system does not function properly, make the necessary repairs and re-evaluate the A/C system. If the A/C system still does not operate properly (e.g., poor performance), install the condenser seals and water shutoff valve as outlined in this Service Procedure.
