1998 Ford Contour AC Repair, Wiring Repair, Transmission Fluid Leak Repair -Fixing it Forward
This is Part 4 in the 1998 Ford Contour video series. In this episode I replace the accumulator which I mistakenly labeled a receiver dryer in the last video. I also do some wiring repair and confirm the operation of the battery. Lastly I end up repairing a transmission fluid leak I created during the process of replacing the accumulator.
Now that the work is complete, the AC blows cold and it starts every time. No more transmission leak either.
