Other GMC C1500 Suburban A/C Problems

Hot air is a common GMC C1500 Suburban A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter.

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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1985 GMC C1500 Suburban? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter.

1985 GMC C1500 Suburban A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my C1500 Suburban 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 C1500 Suburban A/C? 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 can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your C1500 Suburban’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 C1500 Suburban rely on gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your C1500 Suburban.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my C1500 Suburban smells 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 C1500 Suburban to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my C1500 Suburban’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 C1500 Suburban may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
