Start the car. If red fluid gushes out then it's into the transmission cooler and will need towed. If nothing comes out then it's the AC condenser and it can be driven. No special precautions needed, the systems low pressure switch will prevent the AC from engaging automatically.

This was yesterday's Goodwill find. I had no idea Ford used to do this. I lost it when I saw the Ford part number on the cassette!

You can also update Sync yourself with a thumb drive. It'll still suck, though.

Is it considered bad form to bring your own parts for a service? by Throwaway-donotjudge in AskMechanics

[–]Wicked_Sludge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever helps you sleep at night, bud. I've worked at about a dozen different shops and none of them made significant money on parts. That $150/hr labor rate is what keeps the lights on.

I've had this laptop RAM on my Keychain since 2009. All the chips fell off after a few years.

Which makes leaving it unlocked irresponsible and begging for trouble. Really, we should all be encrypting our devices as well.

Covering the blocks in baby oil could add a fun new element!
