How can I make my Taurus air conditioner 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 is my Taurus A/C blowing hot air?

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 Taurus's A/C system.

Does my Taurus A/C run on gas?

The air conditioning system in your Taurus 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.

What can cause the A/C in my Taurus to smell like vinegar?

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 Taurus to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Taurus’s A/C to work?

Damaged or worn components in your Taurus’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.

A/C Repair Service for Your Ford Taurus

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Ford Taurus A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2000 Ford Taurus A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Ford Taurus

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2000 Ford Taurus 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 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 Taurus 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.

Taurus A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2000 Ford Taurus A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Ford guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2000 Ford Taurus A/C recharges.

Common Ford Taurus A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Ford Taurus A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2000 Ford Taurus? 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 Taurus.
