A/C Service for Mercury Mystique

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Mercury Mystique A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mercury vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1996 Mercury. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercury Mystique

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1996 Mercury Mystique A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 Mystique A/C system to 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 Mystique

While your 1996 Mercury Mystique’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Mercury’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, 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 1996 Mercury Mystique A/C recharges.

Common Mercury Mystique A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercury Mystique A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1996 Mercury Mystique? 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 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 Mystique — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1996 Mercury Mystique A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Mystique 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 Mystique 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? 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 Mystique’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 Mystique rely on gas? Your Mystique’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 Mystique smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Mystique to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Mystique’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 Mystique’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
