Im fixing my a/c and I need to replace the expansion valve but dont know where it is. I searched around and the only thing I could find was that its before the evaporator. So were is the evaporator located? I looked behind the glove box and only thing I see is a box that has a sticker Mitsubishi Cooling Unit. Thanks.
 
The evap box is located on the lower left side of the passengers area behind a bunch of other crap... and the expansion valve is on the other side of the the evap box! (must be removed)
 
Ok guys, I have officialy given up on trying to get the a/c to work. If it wernt becuase I have spent to much money of the DSM I would have sold it already. I took it to an a/c shop to finally fix my a/c and still no go. They vacumed the system and recharged it and the compressor still goes on and off. They said it was something electrical that was wrong. I mentioned the expansion valve and they said it was a possability but in my case the High side pressure is not getting any high then what is it. So the high side pressure is high like it should be so the expansion valve is not blocking the air. I asked what the electrical problem might be and the suggested me to take the car to an Import Car Specialist to have it figured out. Well not to mention the rates these people charge by the hour Im kind of stuck with no a/c. Could someone perhaps shin in on some info as to what could be wrong like relays, fuses, pressure senders? thanks.
