Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Repair

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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 we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different 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 your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

Let's say we repair your 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Ford's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1996 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C!

Questions About 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Systems

  • Can I make my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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.
  • Why is my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C blowing hot 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.
  • 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 running the A/C in my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to smell like vinegar? 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? Damaged or worn components in your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’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.
