Cadillac Fleetwood A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Cadillac Fleetwood A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Cadillac vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C systems. Steer your Cadillac Fleetwood to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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 Fleetwood A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Cadillac Fleetwood

Let's say we repair your 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Cadillac guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C recharges.

Common Cadillac Fleetwood A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Cadillac Fleetwood A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Fleetwood — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C Systems

  • 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Fleetwood A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Fleetwood's A/C system.
  • Does my Fleetwood A/C use gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Fleetwood.
  • Why does my Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Fleetwood’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Fleetwood’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
