How can I make my Grand Caravan air conditioner colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

What’s making my Grand Caravan 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?

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 Grand Caravan’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does my Grand Caravan A/C 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.

Why does the A/C in my Grand Caravan smell 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 Grand Caravan to produce a vinegary odor.

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.

We know Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Dodge Grand Caravan

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan 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. 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 your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Grand Caravan A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, 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. 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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C recharges.

Other Dodge Grand Caravan A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Grand Caravan A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. 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 2000 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Grand Caravan.
