YG355 is the one & only heater control valve. Part # YW4H18495AA.
It is on the right hand side(pass. side) of the radiator about half way down. It has. 3 hose ports. The bottom is the in Port, the 2 that are side by side are the outs going to the heater. The 2 outs are solnoid controlled opening & closing on demand by the climate control module.
Rock Auto sells these for around $168.
Hope this helps as I can not find anything else regarding 5 valves anywhere on my car or in my shop manual.

Thank you very much for your interest.
My T Bird is a 2003.
The part numbered 2R8Z18495AA Heater Control Valve Front
I've already changed.
I cannot find the location of part YW4H18495AA. Does this part fit on my 2003 T Bird ? If yes, where is it installed ? do you have perhaps a photo or plan ?

The VIN is 1FAHP60A03Y109855

The 2 part numbers, YW4H18485AA and number 2R8Z18495AA both numbers are for the same part, the Heater Control Valve.
You can Google the two numbers & you will see this. Either will work for you in your 03.

Please share with us what your troubles are with your vehicle & maybe someone here can get you going if the heater valve is not fixing the problem.

Thank you.

The 10 Amp fuse of the A/C blows after 3 minutes. A/C has no other problems. Power consumption of the A/C compressor is under 5 Ampere. If the A/C compressor is powered directly by the battery, it works fine.

If you haven't change out the AC CLUTCH relay. It is located in fuse box under the hood. Relay 08. It is in the R-hand corner. There are 2 both similar in shape & size, #8 is the inner one.
Keep us up dated.

 

[Stephan Lanz]

Yeah, already done. Problem remains identical.

 

[BluByeU]

I would think Next in line is the clutch.

 

[Stephan Lanz]

Only 3 Ampere consumption has the clutch with direct power supply.

In general, what are the known shortcomings of these 2003 models ?
