How can I make my S15 Jimmy air conditioner colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Why is my S15 Jimmy 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.

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 the A/C in my S15 Jimmy use 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 S15 Jimmy.

Why does the A/C in my S15 Jimmy 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 S15 Jimmy to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my S15 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 S15 Jimmy is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

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. 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 GMC S15 Jimmy?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know GMC vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1984 GMC. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your GMC S15 Jimmy

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1984 GMC S15 Jimmy A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your GMC S15 Jimmy A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for GMC S15 Jimmy

Let's say we repair your 1984 GMC S15 Jimmy A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). 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 ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1984 GMC S15 Jimmy A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting GMC S15 Jimmy A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential GMC S15 Jimmy A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1984 GMC S15 Jimmy? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your S15 Jimmy — without all the sweat puddles!
