A/C Service for GMC Jimmy

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my GMC Jimmy A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know GMC vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1998 GMC A/C systems. Steer your GMC Jimmy to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1998 GMC Jimmy A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your GMC Jimmy 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.

Jimmy A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1998 GMC Jimmy 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to GMC'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 all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1998 GMC Jimmy A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting GMC Jimmy A/C Problems

Hot air is a common GMC Jimmy A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes 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 1998 GMC Jimmy? 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 Jimmy.

Questions About 1998 GMC Jimmy A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Jimmy 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 do I get hot air from my Jimmy 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.
  • 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 Jimmy’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Jimmy A/C powered by 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 Jimmy.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Jimmy smells like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Jimmy creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Jimmy’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 Jimmy is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
