Detailed Description

What It Is Used For

• Restoring cooling performance in the cabin HVAC system
• Addressing compressor noise, seizure, or loss of refrigerant circulation

Installation Notes and Tips

Review the vehicle notes before ordering: 2005-2006 Ford Five Hundred is listed to 03/03/2005, and the application notes recommend replacing the condenser with a new condenser. Confirm the existing compressor style and match the listed application exactly before installation. CK2023 should be installed as part of a complete A/C system service using the correct refrigerant and evacuation procedures.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air identifies this as a cataloged replacement kit for the listed applications. Verify fitment by year, make, model, and notes before installation.
