Signs Your Vehicle’s AC Is In Trouble
You never want to wait until the AC in your vehicle has completely failed to visit Steve Serra Auto Group’s service department for AC repairs. However, unless you are aware of the indications of impending failure of the AC, you might miss the hints and be forced to ensure the heat until you can seek help from our automotive experts. So, please review these signs of AC trouble and keep them in mind if you discover your vehicle is suddenly not as comfortable and cool as it once was:
- The system is blowing slightly less cool air, the air is warm, or in the worst cases, the air coming from the AC vent is hot – these are all indications that the coolant from the AC system is low or has leaked out and needs to be replaced to restore the life-altering cool air provided by the AC system.
- The air coming from the AC vents is cool, but it has a strange or foul odor, which often means there is a water leak somewhere, and the AC or vents in the vehicle have been contaminated by mold, which is creating the odor
- There is limited air coming from the vents even when you have the fan on high, which is often an indication of a blockage in the vent system, but it can also mean there is a pressure issue or the blower motor is declining
- If the AC works only part of the time when you turn it on, there can be electrical issues or an issue with the compressor that needs attention before the unit fails completely
