Default 2005 Caravan Condenser - ATF Fluid Lines

Hi All,

I have a hole (flying rock) in my AC Condenser (2005 Caravan). I want to replace the condenser myself, since all the refrigerant is gone from the system.

I noticed there are the 2 lines for the Automatic Transaxle Fluid that connect to the top right of the AC Condenser. I assume that there are different compartments within the Condenser to divide the R134a/ATF fluid?

Can I disconnect the ATF fluid lines without draining any fluid first? Are the lines pressurized? I assume they are located high so that the fluid drains down when the car is off.

Your help is appreciated.

You may get your answer but you would have been better off posting a new thread instead of tagging onto this unrelated old thread. How? Click "New Thread" button at upper left of Caravan forum home page.

Cooler is a good idea when towing. I have zero experience with them.
