Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Repair

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’ve got experience with Mitsubishi vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mitsubishi Eclipse

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Eclipse A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Mitsubishi’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant 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 1999 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. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. 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 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Eclipse.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1999 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Eclipse 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.
  • 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.
  • Is my Eclipse A/C powered by 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.
  • Why does the A/C in my Eclipse smell like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Eclipse to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my Eclipse’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? 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.
