Ford F-250 A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. 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 F-250?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1999 Ford F-250 A/C systems. Bring your Ford F-250 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1999 Ford F-250’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Ford F-250 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your F-250

Let's say we repair your 1999 Ford F-250 A/C system. We will also perform 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Ford's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1999 Ford F-250 A/C recharges.

Common Ford F-250 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Ford F-250 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 1999 Ford F-250? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your F-250.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1999 Ford F-250 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my F-250 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 F-250 A/C put out warm air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your F-250’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 F-250 use gas? Your F-250’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.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my F-250 smells 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 F-250 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my F-250’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your F-250 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
  • Where can I get my F-250’s A/C repaired? When you need your F-250 air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
