A/C Service for Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Ford Explorer Sport Trac?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Ford vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2008 Ford. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Ford Explorer Sport Trac

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2008 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Ford Explorer Sport Trac 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.

A/C Recharge for Ford Explorer Sport Trac

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 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 the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this 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 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Explorer Sport Trac.

2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Explorer Sport Trac air conditioner 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.
  • Why is my Explorer Sport Trac 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 Explorer Sport Trac’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Explorer Sport Trac A/C use gas? Explorer Sport Trac air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • 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.
  • Why does my Explorer Sport Trac’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 Explorer Sport Trac may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
