A/C Repair Service for Your Chrysler New Yorker

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 lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Chrysler New Yorker?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Chrysler vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1986 Chrysler New Yorker A/C systems. Bring your Chrysler New Yorker to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1986 Chrysler New Yorker A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Chrysler New Yorker A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

New Yorker A/C Recharge

While your 1986 Chrysler New Yorker’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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 use Chrysler’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1986 Chrysler New Yorker A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Chrysler New Yorker A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Chrysler New Yorker A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might 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. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1986 Chrysler New Yorker? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your New Yorker.

1986 Chrysler New Yorker A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my New Yorker 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.
  • What’s making my New Yorker 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? 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 New Yorker's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my New Yorker use gas? New Yorker air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • Why does the A/C in my New Yorker smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your New Yorker 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.
  • What is causing my New Yorker’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your New Yorker may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
