How do I make my Conquest air conditioning 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 Conquest A/C blowing hot 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 Conquest’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 Conquest A/C run on gas?

The air conditioning system in your Conquest 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 does it mean if the A/C in my Conquest smells like vinegar?

It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Conquest to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Conquest’s A/C to work?

Damaged or worn components in your Conquest’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Common Chrysler Conquest A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Chrysler Conquest A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter.
