Mazda Tribute A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mazda Tribute A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Mazda vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2006 Mazda Tribute A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mazda Tribute

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2006 Mazda Tribute’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mazda Tribute A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Mazda Tribute

While your 2006 Mazda Tribute’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 Mazda guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2006 Mazda Tribute A/C recharges.

Common Mazda Tribute A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mazda Tribute A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2006 Mazda Tribute? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Tribute’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2006 Mazda Tribute A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Tribute 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 do I get hot air from my Tribute 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 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 Tribute’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Tribute A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Tribute does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • Why does my Tribute have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 Tribute creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Tribute’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 Tribute is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
