So I picked up a 99 Sonata to use to commute and while it has a few quirks, it runs really well for a 12-year old car. The problem I've run into is it appears the AC system is missing a part. I didn't realize this until sometime after I had purchased it and trying to deal with the previous owner became too much of a hassle, so I'm hoping someone can help me work out what I need to get to fix this.

I've attached a picture, it's not the best picture ever but I think it shows what's going on ok. If I need to take different/better pictures, let me know.

 

Looks like the condenser and drier is missing.. open hood, take pic of right side in front of radiator, between hood lock and right headlight, and same at left side,

Take a couple good clear clean pics down toward the compressor so I can see the lines off the compressor.

The pic you already have, take pic from other direction too.

 

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure how important this is, but the lines for the AC run from the back-left side near the dashboard up to the front-left by the front-left headlight and then down and to the right to the underside of the engine.

I took a picture of where the lines hook into the area by the dashboard, the area where the missing part is from a different angle (from near the front-left wheel) and got a picture of the lines where the attach on the underside of the engine.

 

At a minimum, I can see the condenser and receiver/drier is missing..

I cannot see if the triple switch wire is present, you'll need to buy the triple switch too, as it not come with drier.

In the pic you have marked left front down in the corner,,, that is actually the right front (passenger side).... left front is the driver side..

 

Yeah, you'll need to triple switch as well as the condenser / drier.
