Nate Shamblin Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 My wife's 2007 Lincoln POS (cough cough) MKX is leaking oil from the oil pressure sending unit. Well, I get under it to tighten it because I see about 1/2" of threads showing. So I end up removing the bottom nut and bolt for the AC compressor so I can pry it out of the way 1/4" to fit a wrench up there. First of, what was ford thinking? Not screwING the OPSU all the way in? I'm suprized it lasted 197k miles before giving out! Second... how the crap do I get to the upper bolt on the AC compressor so I can replace the OPSU myself instead of taking to a shop that will rape my wallet?! I was able to tighten it all the way in, but it didn't fix the leak. I just can't get the OPSU out with the AC compressor in the way. Thanks in advance!

Nate Shamblin Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 BTW, I just want to say that I HATE THIS CAR! This think has been a money pit since we bought it 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autom8r Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Nate: Sorry you're having such a tough time with your wife's car. My Edge has 196,000 miles on it, and so far so good. Here is what you're looking for. Pretty straight forward. If you need more room, I'd remove the oil filter elbow. I've attached the factory repair manual excerpts for your use. Happy Trails.

Nate Shamblin Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks. I'm hoping not to have to touch the fan assembly EVER again. That is one of the reasons I hate this car so much (among many other problems it has caused us.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Gutierrez Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 So was it hard to put in the switch ,were you able to find an easier way ?Do we need to take anything else apart that I should be aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 this should help somewhat. it is a tight space, but doable without removing anything major. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM8W0qzwhGU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
