How do I make my LTD Crown Victoria air conditioning 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 do I get hot air from my LTD Crown Victoria A/C?

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 can cause an A/C system leak?

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 LTD Crown Victoria’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my LTD Crown Victoria rely on gas?

The air conditioning system in your LTD Crown Victoria does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.

My LTD Crown Victoria’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If the air conditioning in your LTD Crown Victoria 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 won’t my LTD Crown Victoria’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your LTD Crown Victoria is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

A/C Repair Service for Your Ford LTD Crown Victoria

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C systems. Bring your Ford LTD Crown Victoria to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Ford LTD Crown Victoria 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.

A/C Recharge for Ford LTD Crown Victoria

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, 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 Ford's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C recharges.

Other Ford LTD Crown Victoria A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Ford LTD Crown Victoria 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your LTD Crown Victoria — without all the sweat puddles!
