A/C Repair Service for Your GMC S15 Jimmy

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my GMC S15 Jimmy A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around GMC vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1983 GMC. Steer your GMC S15 Jimmy to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1983 GMC S15 Jimmy 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 suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your GMC S15 Jimmy A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your S15 Jimmy

While your 1983 GMC S15 Jimmy’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. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per GMC guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1983 GMC S15 Jimmy A/C recharges.

Other GMC S15 Jimmy A/C Problems

Hot air is a common GMC S15 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1983 GMC S15 Jimmy? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your S15 Jimmy — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1983 GMC S15 Jimmy A/C Systems

  • How can I make my S15 Jimmy air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my S15 Jimmy A/C put out warm 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.
  • 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 S15 Jimmy’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my S15 Jimmy A/C run on gas? S15 Jimmy air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • Why does my S15 Jimmy have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your S15 Jimmy smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my S15 Jimmy’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your S15 Jimmy may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
