A/C Service for Cadillac Fleetwood

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 it's burning your hands. 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 qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1991 Cadillac. Steer your Cadillac Fleetwood to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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” 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 identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Cadillac Fleetwood

While your 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Cadillac Fleetwood A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Cadillac Fleetwood A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Fleetwood — without all the sweat puddles!

1991 Cadillac Fleetwood A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my Fleetwood air conditioner 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.
  • Why is my Fleetwood A/C blowing hot air? 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.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Fleetwood’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 Fleetwood A/C use gas?  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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Fleetwood to smell like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Fleetwood creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Fleetwood’s A/C only work when the car is moving? 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.
