Cadillac DeVille A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Cadillac DeVille A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Cadillac vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1983 Cadillac DeVille A/C systems. Bring your Cadillac DeVille to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1983 Cadillac DeVille A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Cadillac DeVille A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

DeVille A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1983 Cadillac DeVille A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Cadillac’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1983 Cadillac DeVille A/C recharges.

Other Cadillac DeVille A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Cadillac DeVille A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1983 Cadillac DeVille? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your DeVille — without all the sweat puddles!

1983 Cadillac DeVille A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my DeVille air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my DeVille A/C blowing hot air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your DeVille’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Does my DeVille A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your DeVille does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • Why does my DeVille have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your DeVille to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why won’t my DeVille’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your DeVille is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
