How do I make my E-150 air conditioning 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.

What’s making my E-150 A/C put out warm 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?

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’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my E-150 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.

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

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 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

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

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your E-150 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Ford E-150 A/C Repair

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Ford E-150 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2009 Ford E-150 A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Ford E-150

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2009 Ford E-150 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 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.

E-150 A/C Recharge

While your 2009 Ford E-150’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 use Ford’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2009 Ford E-150 A/C recharges.

Common Ford E-150 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Ford E-150 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2009 Ford E-150? 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’s A/C!
