Looking for a part # (if even available) for the lower unit case for the ac unit. The one right behind the glove box, just the lower half. Several weeks ago I discovered quite a mouse problem in our rig that we only drive very occasionally. I turned on the ac and fan which apparently had a mouse and several babies in it. The fan chopped up the mice and seemingly tossed them up against the fins of the ac unit. I removed the glove box, blower fan, and split open the the ac unit case just enough clean out the mice parts up against the cooling fins. I had just a little more to go when the lower unit cracked a bit in back right corner. Now appears that I have water from the ac unit dripping down out of the cracked box and on to the passenger side floor. Wondering if the plastic case is replaceable or whether I'm looking at caulk, plastic weld etc.
AC/Cooling lower unit case part #?

Pretty sure removing that lower half is next to impossible to do without removing the evaporator as well which means evac the system. There is another clip and screw in the back if I recall correctly. I'd go the sealing path myself.

Brand spanking new.
So I'd say glue yours or an used part.
Great way to find out what and if parts is to go online and look for them. This place or many others works well.

Evaporator case housings were never serviced for this application. It is indeed serviced as an evaporator assembly only. There is ONE left in the US.
I suspect you will want to pull the evaporator anyways and get all the mice bits out of the fins. I would not be surprised if it's plugged up with dust anyways. This is what mine looked like after 30 years.

Thanks Arcteryx!! It was a horrendous smell when I turned it on 2 days after the chopping. We're off today for a long trip so we'll see how it holds up. I'll shoot you an email for pricing.
So does that mean one left in the USA, or one left in the WORLD?
USA. I have no way to access TMC corporate data. I barely have a conduit to US stock these days
More than likely. It is showing discontinued in Japan proper.
It was 1,338 bucks......
Just pull it. You likely need to clean the evaporator anyway. Use plastic epoxy from INSIDE the case to repair it. It comes apart in two halves, couple of spring clips and a few screws.
Of course...you'll need to evacuate the A/C system, then have it pumped down and recharged.
Might as well replace the TXV while you have the Evaporator out.
After that...I'd be going on a full blown Mouse Hunt, get a little payback.
