Why Is My Car or Truck AC Not Cooling Properly?

why is my car or truck ac not cooling properly?

Land Rover Santa Fe invites you to learn why your car or truck acis not cooling properly.

Your vehicle’s AC not working is most likely because of a bad compressor or a freon leak. While these are the obvious reasons for the air-conditioner not cooling inside your vehicle, it might be anything as simple as a dirty cabin filter or a bad belt. Regardless of how or why when you are counting on the relief of ice-cold air it can be incredibly disappointing anytime it doesn’t come through. Don’t get in a panic, because our experienced technicians will easily resolve these issues and are there to cool off your ride long before the first heatwave hits.


Why Is My Vehicle AC Not Cooling Correctly

The most likely reason your air-conditioner stopped working is because your vehicle’s air-conditioning is leaking. The vehicle’s AC unit needs freon to cool the ambient air temperature which creates some needed cold air. Anytime you’ll need that cool air, it won’t be possible when the freon leak occurs. Another source that your AC isn’t producing cold air is that your vehicle is a hybrid. The AC system uses the engine power, if your car is in EV mode then the engine has stopped running and won’t power the air-conditioning.

If the AC is on but the fan stopped blowing cold air then there might be a defective AC fuse. These fuses help protect components of a vehicle from a possible power surge and while it might just have to get repaired, if the AC fuse keeps popping then it’s possible you have a much larger issue at hand. A low amount of AC refrigerant or a possible leak could also be the issue, which our very skilled technicians can look at.

If the air-conditioner is leaking, you could easily tell by damp spots in your car or puddles under your vehicle when it’s parked. For any air-conditioner to pump cold air into your vehicle, it needs to displace all of that moisture it’s used from outside and should go down the evaporator drain pipe. Another cause could be the AC Refrigerant amount being low which leads to the evaporator coils freezing up and an overflow of condensation. You should also have a lookout for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the AC’s air filters if this problem keeps happening.
