How do I make my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon air conditioning 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.

How does my A/C system get a 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon's A/C system.

Is my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C powered by gas?

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?

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 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.

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. “Who can fix my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Ford vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1998 Ford A/C systems. 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 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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. 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 identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

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

While your 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’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. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Ford guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting 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. 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. 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 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon.
