Group 1 Ford of El Paso invites you to learn why your car or truck ac is not cooling correctly.
Your car’s air-conditioning stopped working because of a bad compressor or a freon leak. Though these causes may be the most obvious reasons for your air-conditioner not cooling in the vehicle, a bad compressor belt or a dirty cabin air filter may also be the culprit. Regardless of why or how, it’s super disappointing when cold air isn’t there to combat hot weather outside. Don’t get in a panic, because our experienced technicians are trained to help resolve these issues and are there to cool off your ride before the first heatwave hits.
The most likely reason your air-conditioner stopped working is because your vehicle’s air-conditioning started leaking. Your vehicle’s air-conditioning unit uses freon to cool the ambient air temperature which creates some needed cold air. Anytime there is a freon leak on your car there is no way to cool the air. Another reason for your air-conditioning not blowing cold air is because your car is a hybrid. The AC system uses the engine power, so if your car is in EV mode then the engine has stopped running and won’t power the air-conditioner.
If your AC is turned on but the fan stopped blowing then there might be a defective air-conditioner fuse. Fuses protect vehicle components from a possible power surge and even though it might just need to get repaired, however, if your air-conditioner fuse keeps popping then it’s possible you have a larger issue. There’s also the possibility that the car’s AC Compressor is affected by a low amount of AC refrigerant or a possible leak that needs to be repaired.
If you’ve seen damp spots around or in your vehicle recently, that might be a result of an air-conditioner leak in your car. When your AC is producing cold air into your vehicle, it needs to place all of that moisture it absorbs from outside and should leave through the evaporator drain pipe. This could also be caused by the AC Refrigerant level being too low which produces a buildup of condensation because the evaporator coils will freeze up. You should also have a lookout for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the air-conditioner’s air filters in case the issue continues to occur.
