• Q: How to service the auxiliary evaporator core on 2000 GMC Safari?

  A: The first task before servicing the auxiliary evaporator core involves recovering refrigerant from the system. The left body side rear trim panel and air outlet duct assembly must come off before disconnecting all electrical connectors. After vehicle support and while keeping the vehicle elevated you must remove the retaining nut to detach the auxiliary evaporator rear tube assembly from the core. The service of the auxiliary evaporator core requires you to first lower the vehicle then remove the bolts that fix the case to its structure before extracting the auxiliary evaporator module assembly. First remove the screws to separate the case into halves until you can reach the core seal for removal together with the evaporator core. Thoroughly examine gaskets along with seals for signs of damage then get new ones if needed. To install the evaporator core first position it inside the case before adding the evaporator core seal which enables the assembly of case halves. Fasten the auxiliary evaporator module assembly to the vehicle with bolts while tightening them to 10 N.m (86 lb in). Hoist and stabilise the vehicle and thread and secure the auxiliary evaporator underbody rear tube assembly to the core by fastening the retaining nut to 10 N.m (86 lb in). After connecting all electrical components you should fit back both the left body side rear trim panel and air outlet duct assembly then lower the vehicle. Evacuate the system while performing a recharge process and verify no leaks occur during the procedure.
