Dodge Mini Ram A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. 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 our way around Dodge vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1987 Dodge. Steer your Dodge Mini Ram to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1987 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 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 Mini Ram A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Mini Ram A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1987 Dodge Mini Ram A/C system. We will also perform 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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1987 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. Other common A/C problems include 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1987 Dodge Mini Ram? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1987 Dodge Mini Ram A/C Systems

  • How 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? 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 Mini Ram's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Mini Ram use gasoline?  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.
  • My Mini Ram’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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 Mini Ram to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my Mini Ram’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 Mini Ram’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
