A/C Repair Service for Your Mitsubishi Eclipse

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Mitsubishi vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2002 Mitsubishi. 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 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Eclipse A/C Recharge

While your 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse’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 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 good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C recharges.

Other 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. Other common A/C problems 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Eclipse.

Questions About 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Eclipse air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to 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 running the A/C in my Eclipse use gasoline? Eclipse 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Eclipse to smell 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.
