Quick facts
- Part: Four Seasons 55634 A/C refrigerant hose

A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, which leaves the accumulator ineffective. Weak cooling alone does not prove this hose is the problem, since a low refrigerant charge is another common reason.
Fits
The 1983-1987 Ford Thunderbird and the 1982-1987 Mercury Cougar fit this A/C refrigerant hose, as do many other vehicles; each of those two takes one.
