How can I make my ProMaster 1500 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.

Why is my ProMaster 1500 A/C blowing hot air?

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.

How does my A/C system get a 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 ProMaster 1500's A/C system.

Does the A/C in my ProMaster 1500 use gas?

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 ProMaster 1500.

What can cause the A/C in my ProMaster 1500 to smell like vinegar?

If the air conditioning in your ProMaster 1500 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 vehicle have to be moving for my ProMaster 1500’s A/C to work?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your ProMaster 1500’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Service for Ram ProMaster 1500

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Ram ProMaster 1500?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Ram vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2017 Ram ProMaster 1500 A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Ram ProMaster 1500

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 Ram ProMaster 1500’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Ram ProMaster 1500 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

ProMaster 1500 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2017 Ram ProMaster 1500, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Ram guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2017 Ram ProMaster 1500 A/C recharges.

Other Ram ProMaster 1500 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Ram ProMaster 1500 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2017 Ram ProMaster 1500? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your ProMaster 1500 — without all the sweat puddles!
