Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / July 2006AC roaring
I have a 2003 Explore Sport w/ 98,000, and jus ttoday, my AC started making a loud roaring sound(I had it on high), and it goes a little lower when I turn the fan down. Is the compressor getting ready to go out(it gets used a lot here in Austin,TX)? Thanks.

If its the blower, it could be a foreign object stuck in the blower unit, like a piece of paper or something. Or it could be the blower motor is defective. The blower and compressor are 2 seperate units, they are independent of each other. So if the blower died it would not affect the compressor. >I have a 2003 Explore Sport w/ 98,000, and jus ttoday, my AC started >making a loud roaring sound(I had it on high), and it goes a little >lower when I turn the fan down.

Thanks. > FM It looks like it's sealed. Any ballpark estimates for a new blower? I had the compressor replaces last March with a(supposedly) new one as a result of an accident. It seems like it should not be worn out. Check to see if you have a cabin air filter on your explorer, it might be clogged and will make the fan noisy >Check to see if you have a cabin air filter on your explorer, it might >be clogged and will make the fan noisy Just so you know Explorer Sport and Sport Trac don't have cabin air filters >I have a 2003 Explore Sport w/ 98,000, and jus ttoday, my AC started >making a loud roaring sound(I had it on high), and it goes a little >lower when I turn the fan down.

If it's something in the blower wheel get some mechanics fingers to fish it out |
