A/C Service for Mitsubishi Eclipse

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Mitsubishi vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C systems. Bring your Mitsubishi Eclipse to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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 any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Eclipse

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mitsubishi guidelines. 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. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C recharges.

Other 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 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 may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2005 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Eclipse.

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my Eclipse 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.
  • What’s making my Eclipse A/C put out warm air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • 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 running the A/C in my Eclipse use gasoline? 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.
  • My Eclipse’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Eclipse’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Eclipse is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
