A/C Service for Mercury Grand Marquis

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. 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 know Mercury vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1997 Mercury A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercury Grand Marquis

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1997 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." 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 detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Grand Marquis

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1997 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 we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis A/C recharges.

Other Mercury Grand Marquis A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercury Grand Marquis A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Grand Marquis.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Grand Marquis air conditioning colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my Grand Marquis A/C blowing hot air? 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.
  • 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 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 rely on gas? Your Grand Marquis’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does the A/C in my Grand Marquis smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your Grand Marquis smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • 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.
  • Where can I get my Grand Marquis’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing Grand Marquis air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
