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. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Dodge Grand Caravan A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Dodge Grand Caravan

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan’s 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Dodge Grand Caravan A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Grand Caravan A/C Recharge

While your 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan’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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Dodge's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Grand Caravan A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Dodge Grand Caravan A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Grand Caravan.

1997 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan 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.
  • 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 use gas? 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 Grand Caravan.
  • My Grand Caravan’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 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? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Grand Caravan is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
