A/C Service for Ford LTD Crown Victoria

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 LTD Crown Victoria?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Ford vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1989 Ford. Bring your Ford LTD Crown Victoria to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

LTD Crown Victoria A/C Recharge

While your 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Ford's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C recharges.

Common Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 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 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your LTD Crown Victoria.

Questions About 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C Systems

  • How do I make my LTD Crown Victoria air conditioning colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my LTD Crown Victoria 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 LTD Crown Victoria’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does running the A/C in my LTD Crown Victoria use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your LTD Crown Victoria 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 my LTD Crown Victoria 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 LTD Crown Victoria to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my LTD Crown Victoria’s A/C only work when the car is moving? Damaged or worn components in your LTD Crown Victoria’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.
