A/C Service for Plymouth Horizon

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Plymouth Horizon?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Plymouth vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1989 Plymouth Horizon A/C systems. Steer your Plymouth Horizon to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1989 Plymouth Horizon 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Plymouth Horizon A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Horizon A/C Recharge

While your 1989 Plymouth Horizon’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 Plymouth's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1989 Plymouth Horizon A/C recharges.

Common Plymouth Horizon A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Plymouth Horizon A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1989 Plymouth Horizon? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Horizon’s A/C!

Questions About 1989 Plymouth Horizon A/C Systems

  • 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Horizon 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 Horizon creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Horizon’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? 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.
