How can I make my Grand Marquis 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.

What’s making my Grand Marquis 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.

What can cause an A/C system 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 Grand Marquis’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 Grand Marquis use gas?

Grand Marquis 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.

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

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

Mercury Grand Marquis A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Mercury Grand Marquis A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Mercury vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1985 Mercury. Bring your Mercury Grand Marquis to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis 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 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 Mercury Grand Marquis A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Grand Marquis A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis, we’ll also do 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). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mercury guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercury Grand Marquis A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercury Grand Marquis A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Grand Marquis — without all the sweat puddles!
