A/C Service for Plymouth Horizon

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Plymouth Horizon A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Plymouth vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1985 Plymouth. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Plymouth Horizon

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1985 Plymouth Horizon’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 Plymouth Horizon A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Plymouth Horizon

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1985 Plymouth Horizon, 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 use Plymouth’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1985 Plymouth Horizon A/C recharges.

Other Plymouth Horizon A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Plymouth Horizon A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1985 Plymouth Horizon? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 Horizon’s A/C!

1985 Plymouth Horizon A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Horizon 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.
  • Why is my Horizon A/C blowing hot 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 causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Horizon’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Horizon 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 Horizon.
  • My Horizon’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Horizon 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 Horizon’s A/C only work when the car is moving? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Horizon’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
