Stupid Question Anyone Can Answer!

[Willie]

In the engine compartment, there's a capped A/C line (high side) near the fuse box. It's a black plastic cap on an aluminum tube. I need a cap as mine apparently fell off. I looked it up and it says it has an M10 thread. But when I look at the tube, there are no threads, so I'm confused. Can anyone pull / unthread your cap to see if it actually threads or snaps off please?

Autozone sells cheap universal packs with multiple sizes of those.

Hey Willie, believe it or not - it screws on even though it doesn't look like it. I have a 2007.

Ac service caps are pretty standard. If you only need one Rick auto has them for $0.24. OEM ford is about $3 or a 10 pack, 5 of each side I'd about 10 bucks on amazon. Just google high side ac service cap. Or throw one in your toolbox next time you are walking thru a junkyard for any other parts.

Awesome guys, thanks!

The story is I had my A/C serviced yesterday. After they finished, the tech asked me if I had the cap. I said, "What? It was on there." He said he did not remember removing it. I could swear it was there but who knows for sure...

Sound like a A/C tech CYA and it dropped down on the floor under the car...............
