MINI of Clear Lake invites you to understand why your car air conditioning is not working properly.
Your vehicle’s air-conditioning not working is most likely caused by a freon leak or a failing compressor. While these may be the simple to spot reasons for the AC not working inside your car, it might be anything as simple as a bad compressor belt or a dirty cabin air filter. No matter how or why it can be super disappointing when ice-cold air isn’t there to combat the hot weather outside. Don’t sweat it though, because our experienced technicians will help resolve these issues and are there to get your vehicle ready before the first heatwave hits.
The most likely reason your air-conditioning isn’t working is because the car’s air-conditioning started leaking. Your vehicle’s AC system needs freon to cool the ambient air temperature which produces some needed cold air. Whenever there is a freon leak on your car there is no way to cool the air. Another reason for your AC not blowing cold air is that the car is a hybrid. The air-conditioner system uses the engine power, if your car is in EV mode then the engine will stop running and won’t power the AC.
If your air-conditioner is on and the fan stopped blowing cold air then there might be a blown AC fuse. These fuses help protect components of a vehicle from a possible power surge and even though it may just need to be replaced, however, if your air-conditioning fuse continues to pop then it’s possible you have a larger issue at hand. There’s also a chance that the vehicle’s AC Compressor could be suffering from a low amount of AC refrigerant or a possible leak that needs to be repaired.
If your air-conditioning is leaking, you could tell by the damp spots in your vehicle or puddles under your vehicle when it’s parked. For any air-conditioning to push cold air inside your vehicle, it has to displace all of that moisture it’s used from outside and should leave down the evaporator drain. One more cause could be the AC Refrigerant amount being too low which produces a buildup of condensation because the evaporator coils will freeze up. You need to have an eye out for faulty seals in the air-conditioning compartment or the AC’s air filters if this issue keeps happening.
