Dodge Mini Ram 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 lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Dodge Mini Ram A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1985 Dodge Mini Ram A/C systems. Bring your Dodge Mini Ram to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1985 Dodge Mini Ram’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Dodge Mini Ram 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.

A/C Recharge for Dodge Mini Ram

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1985 Dodge Mini Ram, 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). Then, they’ll use Dodge’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1985 Dodge Mini Ram A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Mini Ram A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Dodge Mini Ram A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1985 Dodge Mini Ram? 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 Mini Ram.

Questions About 1985 Dodge Mini Ram A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Mini Ram 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 Mini Ram A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • 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 Mini Ram’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Mini Ram A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Mini Ram 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 Mini Ram 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 Mini Ram to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Mini Ram’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Mini Ram may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
