Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Repair

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. 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 trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1998 Mitsubishi A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mitsubishi Eclipse

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Mitsubishi Eclipse

Let's say we repair your 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse 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 Mitsubishi's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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. And smelly A/C in a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Eclipse — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Eclipse 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.
  • What’s making my Eclipse A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Eclipse's A/C system.
  • Does my Eclipse A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Eclipse does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Eclipse to smell like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Eclipse creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Eclipse’s A/C to work? Damaged or worn components in your Eclipse’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.
