How can I make my Lynx 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 Lynx A/C put out warm 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?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Lynx’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does running the A/C in my Lynx use gasoline?

Your Lynx’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.

My Lynx’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 Lynx to have a vinegar-like smell.

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

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Lynx’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Mercury Lynx A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercury Lynx A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Mercury vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1983 Mercury. Bring your Mercury Lynx to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1983 Mercury Lynx’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercury Lynx 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.

A/C Recharge for Mercury Lynx

Let's say we repair your 1983 Mercury Lynx 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mercury's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1983 Mercury Lynx A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercury Lynx A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercury Lynx A/C problem you may 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1983 Mercury Lynx? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 Lynx — without all the sweat puddles!
