This maintenance for the air conditioning system involves replacing the condenser (or radiator, as it may be called) and the compressor. To replace the air conditioning radiator, you must also remove the engine cooling radiator, which requires draining the refrigerant.

After installing the condenser, proceed to replace the air conditioning compressor, which requires replacing the connector and soldering the electrical wires, ensuring they are properly protected with heat-shrink tubing. After installation, perform a system flush before recharging the gas and the compressor's lubricant oil.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
