Global Parts 3411362 A/C Expansion Valve - Rear

Rear A/C Expansion Valve for Ford and Lincoln

Global Parts 3411362 is a rear A/C expansion valve for select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. It regulates refrigerant flow before the evaporator so the system can use cooling capacity efficiently.

Key Features

• Rear A/C expansion valve for HVAC refrigerant control
• Designed for select rear system applications with OEM inline filter notes
• Direct replacement style for service and repair work
• Cross-references UAC EX10108C and Four Seasons 39008 for the same application
• Global Parts part number 3411362

Detailed Description

This expansion valve is used in rear HVAC systems on 1999-2005 Ford Windstar, 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 2002-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. Global Parts 3411362 slows refrigerant before it enters the evaporator, helping the A/C system manage cooling output as designed. It is a practical replacement choice when servicing rear air conditioning on Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer applications, as well as related Ford and Lincoln rear HVAC systems.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak rear A/C cooling performance
• Incorrect refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• Temperature fluctuation in the rear HVAC circuit
• Service-related wear in the expansion valve/orifice tube assembly
• Rear system performance issues on Ford Explorer, Windstar, and Aviator applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the rear position and OEM inline filter note before ordering.
• Inspect the A/C system for contamination or debris during service.
• Replace the expansion valve/orifice tube when the system is opened for repair.
• Confirm the vehicle’s year, make, and model against the listed fitment before installation.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced. That guidance supports consistent refrigerant control and helps maintain proper rear HVAC operation.
