A/C Service for Dodge Ram 1500 Van

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Dodge Ram 1500 Van?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Dodge vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1999 Dodge A/C systems. Bring your Dodge Ram 1500 Van to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Ram 1500 Van

While your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C recharges.

Common Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Ram 1500 Van’s A/C!

Questions About 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Ram 1500 Van 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 Ram 1500 Van A/C put out warm air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • 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 Ram 1500 Van's A/C system.
  • Does my Ram 1500 Van A/C use gas? Your Ram 1500 Van’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • My Ram 1500 Van’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Ram 1500 Van smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Ram 1500 Van’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 Ram 1500 Van may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
