A/C Repair Service for Your Cadillac DeVille

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Cadillac DeVille?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Cadillac vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1984 Cadillac A/C systems. Steer your Cadillac DeVille to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1984 Cadillac DeVille A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. 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 identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

DeVille A/C Recharge

While your 1984 Cadillac DeVille’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Cadillac’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1984 Cadillac DeVille A/C recharges.

Common Cadillac DeVille A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Cadillac DeVille A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1984 Cadillac DeVille? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your DeVille’s A/C!

1984 Cadillac DeVille A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my DeVille air conditioning colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my DeVille A/C put out warm 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 can cause an A/C system leak? 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 the A/C in my DeVille use gas? DeVille air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • Why does the A/C in my DeVille smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your DeVille smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my DeVille’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? 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.
