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 do I get hot air from my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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?

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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

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 does it mean if the A/C in my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon smells 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. 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?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Ford vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1997 Ford. Steer your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1997 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1997 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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 use Ford’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, 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 1997 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C recharges.

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

Warm air isn't the only Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1997 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. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address 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!
