Gene Messer Toyota invites you to learn why your car or truck air conditioning is not working.
Your car’s AC is not working because of a freon leak or a failing compressor. Though these are the most obvious reasons for your AC not cooling in the vehicle, it could also be anything as simple as a dirty cabin filter or a bad belt. No matter why or how, when you are expecting the sweet relief of cold air it is incredibly irritating when it doesn’t come through. Don’t get in a panic, because our well-versed technicians know what to look for and are ready to get your car ready before the first heatwave hits.
The most likely reason your air-conditioning stopped working is because the car’s AC started leaking. The vehicle’s air-conditioner unit needs a freon to lower the ambient air temperature which creates refreshing cold air. Anytime you want that cool air, it won’t be possible when there’s a freon leak occurring. Another source that your AC isn’t producing cold air is that the vehicle is a hybrid. The AC system is powered by the engine, if your vehicle is in EV mode then the engine has stopped running and does not power the AC.
If your AC is on but the fan isn’t working then you might have a blown AC fuse. Fuses help protect components of a vehicle from a possible power surge and even though it might just need to get replaced, if the air-conditioner fuse keeps popping then it’s possible there could be a larger problem. A low amount of AC refrigerant or a possible leak might also be the issue, which our highly skilled technicians can look at.
If you’ve seen damp spots in or around your vehicle recently, that could be a result of an AC leak in your car. When your AC is producing cold air inside your vehicle, it needs to displace all the moisture it’s used from the outdoors and flows down the evaporator drain. Another cause might be the AC Refrigerant amount being too low which produces a buildup of condensation since the evaporator coils will freeze up. You should also keep an eye out for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the air-conditioning’s air filters in case this problem continues to happen.
