Dodge Intrepid A/C Repair

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Dodge Intrepid A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Dodge vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1996 Dodge. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Dodge Intrepid

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1996 Dodge Intrepid 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 think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Dodge Intrepid 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 Intrepid

While your 1996 Dodge Intrepid’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Dodge's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1996 Dodge Intrepid A/C recharges.

Other Dodge Intrepid A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Intrepid A/C problem you may 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1996 Dodge Intrepid? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Intrepid’s A/C!

Questions About 1996 Dodge Intrepid A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Intrepid 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.
  • Why is my Intrepid A/C blowing hot 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 Intrepid’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Intrepid A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Intrepid 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 can cause the A/C in my Intrepid to smell like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Intrepid to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my Intrepid’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Intrepid’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
