Can I make my Colorado 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 Colorado A/C blowing hot air?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

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 Colorado's A/C system.

Does the A/C in my Colorado rely on gas?

The air conditioning system in your Colorado 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.

My Colorado’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

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 Colorado creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Colorado’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 Colorado’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
