Suzuki Sidekick A/C Repair

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Suzuki Sidekick?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Suzuki vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1989 Suzuki Sidekick A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Suzuki Sidekick

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1989 Suzuki Sidekick’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 Suzuki Sidekick A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Sidekick A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1989 Suzuki Sidekick, 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 Suzuki's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1989 Suzuki Sidekick A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Suzuki Sidekick A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Suzuki Sidekick A/C problem you may 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1989 Suzuki Sidekick? 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 Sidekick’s A/C!

Questions About 1989 Suzuki Sidekick A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Sidekick air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my Sidekick 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 causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Sidekick’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 Sidekick use gasoline? Sidekick 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 Sidekick to smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Sidekick to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why won’t my Sidekick’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? Damaged or worn components in your Sidekick’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
