A/C Service for Ford Explorer Sport Trac

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Ford Explorer Sport Trac?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C systems. Steer your Ford Explorer Sport Trac to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C system that can 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.

Recharge the A/C in Your Explorer Sport Trac

While your 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac’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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C recharges.

Common Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C problem you may 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Explorer Sport Trac.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Explorer Sport Trac air conditioning 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 do I get hot air from my Explorer Sport Trac 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 Explorer Sport Trac's A/C system.
  • Is my Explorer Sport Trac A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Explorer Sport Trac 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 the A/C in my Explorer Sport Trac 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 Explorer Sport Trac to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my Explorer Sport Trac’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? Damaged or worn components in your Explorer Sport Trac’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
