Getting Warm? Cool Down with Mopar® A/C Parts.

Time to take the car into the shop.

Mopar® Mike has been blasting the heat for the last six months, keeping warm and toasty inside his car cocoon. Mike lives in the Midwest, so temperatures can change from freezing to scorching overnight. He’s been watching the news, and the forecast is for comfortable temperatures, somewhere in the low 70s. Mopar Mike awakes the next day, sweating profusely under his down comforter because (surprise!) the weatherman was off about thirty degrees.

Mike hurriedly dresses for the day, runs down the stairs and jumps in his car to go to work. His vehicle has been baking in the sun all morning, as Mike is currently renovating his garage. Mopar Mike eagerly reaches for the A/C switch, turning it to the “full blast” setting and anticipates the relief of cool air splashing over his body. But then he’s promptly assaulted with neverending warm heat. And now he can’t distinguish his sweat from the tears of agony.

Summer’s coming.

It’s the time of year when we shed layers for swimsuits, exchange blankets for hammocks and enjoy ice cream instead of cocoa. It’s the time of year when we sweat. A lot. And when air conditioning isn’t just an amenity—it’s a necessity.

There are a number of reasons why a vehicle’s A/C components may fail over the winter months. Since the air conditioning goes largely unused through the winter, a lot can happen due to a lack of fluid circulation. Seals can dry out and crack during the cold winter months. Those cracks can cause refrigerant leaks when the system is first turned on in the spring. Plus, A/C compressors can quickly seize up since they are starved for lubricant.

Of course, winter weather and icy conditions bring more minor front-end collisions, often causing damage to A/C condensers and radiators. Lastly, A/C components can simply die of natural causes, since a vehicle’s defroster uses the A/C system to clear windows.

As temperatures quickly climb, vehicle owners care little about why their A/C system has failed. They just want it fixed quickly, so they can enjoy the summer months rather than cooking within the confines of an EZ-Bake. Fortunately, your local Chrysler Group LLC dealer has all the quality Mopar parts you need to restore the vehicle’s A/C to a renewed level of “cool,” including:
