How can I make my Sable air conditioner 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 do I get hot air from my Sable A/C?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

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 Sable’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

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

Sable air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.

Why does my Sable have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C?

If the air conditioning in your Sable 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 Sable’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

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

A/C Repair Service for Your Mercury Sable

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 Sable A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Mercury vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1999 Mercury Sable A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercury Sable

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1999 Mercury Sable A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercury Sable 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 Sable

Let's say we repair your 1999 Mercury Sable 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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1999 Mercury Sable A/C recharges.

Other Mercury Sable A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercury Sable 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. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns 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 1999 Mercury Sable? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. 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 Sable.
