How do I make my Cherokee 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.

What’s making my Cherokee A/C put out warm air?

Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.

How does my A/C system get a 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 Cherokee's A/C system.

Does the A/C in my Cherokee 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 Cherokee.

What can cause the A/C in my Cherokee 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 Cherokee to have a vinegar-like smell.

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

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Cherokee may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Service for Jeep Cherokee

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Jeep Cherokee A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Jeep vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2001 Jeep Cherokee A/C systems. Bring your Jeep Cherokee to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2001 Jeep Cherokee 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 Jeep Cherokee A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Cherokee

Let's say we repair your 2001 Jeep Cherokee 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 Jeep guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2001 Jeep Cherokee A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Jeep Cherokee A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Jeep Cherokee A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include 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 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. And smelly A/C in a 2001 Jeep Cherokee? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 Cherokee — without all the sweat puddles!
