Part Description
This Grade A A/C air compressor was removed from a 2014 Ford Explorer equipped with the 3.7L V6 engine. Pulled from a low-mileage 62,000-mile donor vehicle, this OEM compressor has been thoroughly inspected by our technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship immediately.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing and circulating refrigerant throughout the system. Common failure symptoms include lack of cold air, unusual noises when the A/C is engaged, or visible refrigerant leaks. Compressors typically fail due to refrigerant leaks, clutch bearing wear, or internal seal deterioration over time.
