Group 1 Honda Kingwood invites you to learn why your car air conditioning is not working correctly.
Your car’s air-conditioner stopped working likely because of a failing compressor or a freon leak. While these may be the simple reason that the air-conditioning isn’t working in your vehicle, it might be anything as simple as a bad compressor belt or a dirty cabin air filter. Regardless of why or how, when you are expecting the relief of cold air it is extremely disappointing when it won’t come through. Don’t get in a panic, because our experienced technicians know what to look for and are ready to get your car prepared long before the first heat wave arrives.
The most likely reason your air-conditioner isn’t working is because the vehicle’s air-conditioner started leaking. Your vehicle’s air-conditioning system needs freon to lower the ambient air temperature and creates refreshing cold air. When you’ll need some refreshing cool air, it won’t be possible when the freon leak happens. Another source that your air-conditioner isn’t producing cold air is that the vehicle is a hybrid. The air-conditioning system uses the engine power, so the AC isn’t receiving power if your vehicle is using EV mode and the engine stops running.
If the air-conditioner is turned on and the fan isn’t working then you might have a blown air-conditioning fuse. Fuses protect components of a vehicle from a power surge and even though it may just have to get repaired, if the air-conditioning fuse continues to pop then it’s possible you have a larger problem. A low level of AC refrigerant or a possible leak might also be the cause, which our highly skilled technicians can look at.
If the air-conditioner is leaking, you could easily tell by the damp spots in your vehicle or puddles seen under your vehicle where it’s parked. When your AC is pumping cold air into your car, it has to displace all the moisture it uses from the outdoors and flows down the evaporator drain pipe. This could also be caused by the AC Refrigerant amount being low which produces an overflow of condensation because the evaporator coils will start to freeze. You should also keep an eye out for faulty seals in the air-conditioner compartment or the AC’s air filters if this issue continues to happen.
