We know our way around Ford vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1988 Ford. Steer your Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1988 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1988 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 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 all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1988 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C recharges.

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

Warm air isn't the only Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include 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 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 1988 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C!

1988 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your E-350 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 the A/C in my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon rely 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my E-350 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-350 Econoline Club Wagon to produce a vinegary odor.
  • 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.
