We know Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C systems. Steer your Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1986 Ford E-350 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-350 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.

E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1986 Ford E-350 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Ford guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C recharges.

Common Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1986 Ford E-350 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 trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Systems

  • How can I make my E-350 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-350 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? 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-350 Econoline Club Wagon's A/C system.
  • Does my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your E-350 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.
  • Why does my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my E-350 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-350 Econoline Club Wagon may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care inspects and repairs E-350 Econoline Club Wagon air conditioning systems. Book an appointment at one of our A/C repair shops near you today.
