Ford E-350 Econoline A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Ford E-350 Econoline A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline A/C systems. Bring your Ford E-350 Econoline to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your E-350 Econoline

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline, 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. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline A/C recharges.

Common Ford E-350 Econoline A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Ford E-350 Econoline A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your E-350 Econoline — without all the sweat puddles!

1990 Ford E-350 Econoline A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my E-350 Econoline 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.
  • What’s making my E-350 Econoline A/C put out warm 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? 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-350 Econoline’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my E-350 Econoline A/C run on gas? Your E-350 Econoline’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does my E-350 Econoline have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your E-350 Econoline to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my E-350 Econoline’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your E-350 Econoline may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
