A/C Service for Dodge Ram 1500 Van

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Dodge Ram 1500 Van?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Dodge vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2000 Dodge. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Dodge Ram 1500 Van

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Ram 1500 Van

While your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Dodge guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van? 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 Ram 1500 Van’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Ram 1500 Van 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 do I get hot air from my Ram 1500 Van A/C? 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 can cause an A/C system leak? 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 running the A/C in my Ram 1500 Van use gasoline? 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Ram 1500 Van to smell like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Ram 1500 Van creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Ram 1500 Van’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? Damaged or worn components in your Ram 1500 Van’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.
