A/C Repair Service for Your Cadillac Fleetwood

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Cadillac Fleetwood?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Cadillac vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Cadillac Fleetwood

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Cadillac Fleetwood A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Fleetwood

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Cadillac guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C recharges.

Common Cadillac Fleetwood A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Cadillac Fleetwood A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this 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 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 Fleetwood — without all the sweat puddles!

1985 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Fleetwood 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.
  • What’s making my Fleetwood 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Fleetwood’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Fleetwood use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Fleetwood 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 the A/C in my Fleetwood smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your Fleetwood 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.
  • Why does my Fleetwood’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Fleetwood may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
