A/C Service for Dodge Aries

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Dodge Aries A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Dodge vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1985 Dodge A/C systems. Bring your Dodge Aries to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1985 Dodge Aries A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Dodge Aries 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.

Recharge the A/C in Your Aries

While your 1985 Dodge Aries’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Dodge’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1985 Dodge Aries A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Aries A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Aries A/C problem you may 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 your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1985 Dodge Aries? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Aries.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1985 Dodge Aries A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Aries 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.
  • What’s making my Aries 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Aries’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Aries use gasoline? 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 Aries.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Aries 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 Aries to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Aries’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 Aries’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
