How to Install an A/C Accumulator and Charge the Refrigerant System on Dodge Caravan?

If you are replacing the A/C accumulator, put in 25 milliliters (0.8 fluid ounce) of oil for the A/C compressor before you fit the accumulator. Place the A/C accumulator and bracket on the right front weld studs and hold them with two nuts, snugging them to 10 Nm (89 in.lbs.). Unplug any covering from the liquid line fittings and A/C accumulator ports and use clean refrigerant oil to lubricate the O-ring seals before you put them on the opposite fittings. Attach the A/C liquid lines to the A/C accumulator, put in the bolts and tighten them to 11 Nm (97 in.lbs.). After that, secure the air cleaner housing, drain the refrigerant system and recharge it.

How to service an A/C Accumulator on Dodge Caravan?

To start the service of the A/C accumulator, extract the refrigerant from the system and then remove the air cleaner housing on the right-hand side of the engine compartment. After that, remove the mounting bolts from the liquid line fittings attached to the A/C accumulator, dislocate the fittings and throw out the O-ring seals. Tape the A/C accumulator ports or plug the open liquid line fittings, then remove the two nuts that screw the A/C accumulator bracket into the strut tower weld studs and take the A/C accumulator off. Should you replace the A/C accumulator, add 25 milliliters (0.8 fluid ounce) of the suggested refrigerant oil to the refrigerant area. Attach the new A/C accumulator and bracket onto the weld studs, using the two nuts and tightening them to 10 N.m (89 in. lbs.) and then pull off the tape or valve seals from the liquid line fittings and the ports on the A/C accumulator. Once you have your new rubber O-ring seals, flush each one with clean refrigerant oil and push the seal onto the fittings of the liquid line, before connecting them to the A/C accumulator. Bolt up every liquid line fitting so that each is tightened to 11 N.m (97 in. lbs.) before installing the air cleaner housing again. Evacuate and then charge the refrigerant system.
