How can I make my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon air conditioner colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Why is my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does the A/C in my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon rely on gas?

While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon.

My E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C to work?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Ford vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1990 Ford A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

While your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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 Ford’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 good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C recharges.

Common Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon — without all the sweat puddles!
