A/C Service for Mercury Mountaineer

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Mercury Mountaineer A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Mercury vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2009 Mercury Mountaineer A/C systems. Steer your Mercury Mountaineer to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer’s 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 Mountaineer A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Mountaineer A/C Recharge

While your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer’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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2009 Mercury Mountaineer A/C recharges.

Other Mercury Mountaineer A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercury Mountaineer 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer? 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 Mountaineer — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2009 Mercury Mountaineer A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Mountaineer 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 Mountaineer 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 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 Mountaineer’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 Mountaineer rely on gas? Your Mountaineer’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 Mountaineer smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your Mountaineer 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 won’t my Mountaineer’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? Damaged or worn components in your Mountaineer’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.
