A/C Service for Mitsubishi Eclipse

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. “Who can fix my Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Mitsubishi vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C systems. Bring your Mitsubishi Eclipse to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse 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 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mitsubishi Eclipse 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.

Eclipse A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mitsubishi guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C recharges.

Common Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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 Mitsubishi Eclipse? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Eclipse’s A/C!

Questions About 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Eclipse air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my Eclipse A/C put out warm 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Eclipse’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 my Eclipse A/C run on 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 Eclipse.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Eclipse smells like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your Eclipse 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 does my Eclipse’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Eclipse may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
