Four Seasons A/C Expansion Valve P/N:39539
Meter the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator core with the Four Seasons A/C Expansion Valve 39481, a block-type valve that regulates how much refrigerant enters the evaporator to control cabin cooling. It installs in the front A/C position as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Ford Explorer, Flex, Taurus, Police Interceptor Sedan and Police Interceptor Utility, the 2014-2018 Ford Special Service Police Sedan, and the 2013-2016 Lincoln MKS and 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine list.
Signs the original expansion valve may need replacing include weak or inconsistent A/C cooling, frosting at the valve, or erratic evaporator temperatures. If a failed expansion valve is the cause, this replaces it; diagnose the system to confirm the cause before servicing.
