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. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercury Grand Marquis A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Mercury vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1987 Mercury A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercury Grand Marquis

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mercury Grand Marquis A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Grand Marquis A/C Recharge

While your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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 Mercury guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis A/C recharges.

Other 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 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Grand Marquis.

1987 Mercury Grand Marquis A/C System FAQs

  • 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.
  • Why is my Grand Marquis A/C blowing hot 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 Grand Marquis's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Grand Marquis use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Grand Marquis 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.
  • My Grand Marquis’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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? Damaged or worn components in your Grand Marquis’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
