A/C Repair Service for Your Dodge Grand Caravan

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Dodge Grand Caravan A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Dodge vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1989 Dodge A/C systems. Bring your Dodge Grand Caravan to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1989 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Grand Caravan

Let's say we repair your 1989 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C system. We will also perform 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Dodge guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1989 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Grand Caravan A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Grand Caravan 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 may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1989 Dodge Grand Caravan? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Grand Caravan — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1989 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Grand Caravan 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.
  • What’s making my Grand Caravan A/C put out warm 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system 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 Grand Caravan's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my Grand Caravan rely on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan smells 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 Grand Caravan creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Grand Caravan’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 Grand Caravan’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
