How can I make my Topaz 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 is my Topaz A/C blowing hot air?

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 Topaz’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 Topaz use gas?

While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Topaz.

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

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 Topaz to produce a vinegary odor.

What is causing my Topaz’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

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

A/C Repair Service for Your Mercury Topaz

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 lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mercury Topaz?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Mercury vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1991 Mercury. Bring your Mercury Topaz to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1991 Mercury Topaz A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercury Topaz A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Topaz

While your 1991 Mercury Topaz’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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mercury's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1991 Mercury Topaz A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercury Topaz A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercury Topaz A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is 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 may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1991 Mercury Topaz? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Topaz — without all the sweat puddles!
