Dodge Mini Ram A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. 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?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1988 Dodge Mini Ram A/C systems. Bring your Dodge Mini Ram to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1988 Dodge Mini Ram 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 think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Dodge Mini Ram A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Mini Ram A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1988 Dodge Mini Ram A/C system. We will also perform 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Dodge guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1988 Dodge Mini Ram A/C recharges.

Common Dodge Mini Ram A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Dodge Mini Ram A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1988 Dodge Mini Ram? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Mini Ram.

Questions About 1988 Dodge Mini Ram A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Mini Ram 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.
  • Why is my Mini Ram 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 Mini Ram’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Mini Ram A/C use 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.
  • Why does my Mini Ram have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 won’t my Mini Ram’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? Damaged or worn components in your Mini Ram’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
