How to fix Ford Fiesta AC when stopped

I was having issues with my vehicles air conditioning while I was stopped at a light. Here's what I did to remedy the issue. Hope it helps!

Just had this issue, you have it in reverse.... The fuse blew because your old fan motor went out and quit working, hence the blown fuse. Your engine was overheating. Signs: 1. you don't hear the fan 2. coolant drains to reservoir (will probably show above max) 3. Your A/C compressor turns on but then right off. Correction: 1. Replace fan, 2 replace fuse. Fuses blow for a reason.....

My 2013 fiesta is garbage. Both interior front door handles ripped off, cracked battery case caused battery damage (luckily warranteed), gear shift issue, electric windows glitched, door locks glitched... and now, after spending more than $4000 to repair/replace everything... The AC is busted. Woo.

I’ve had many of those issues as well. I’m ready to get rid of it at just 93k miles. It’s been a pain the whole 7 yrs I had it!

I don't want to complain, because the 2019 Ford Fiesta I have I inherited from my late uncle 2020. It's been doing well until now. Lol The ac is giving issues, only blowing warm air, smells like old oranges around the air vents. I can't afford to trade it in and make any payments on a new car. A mechanic company wants to charge $230 just to determine if there is a leak. I'm hoping to figure it out for myself.

really easy - recharge the AC needlessly; just replace the fan, needlessly; oh wait, just replace the fuse... but here is a question: what caused the fuse to pop?

[@danielcarranza9653]

I can only assume it was a trip through Arizona last summer probably did a number on it. Who knows.. Ancient Aliens

[@isaacchisholm7289]

@@danielcarranza9653 my girl friend has the exact same car with the exact same problem I check them fuses first and found it to be blown and then did some further testing to find that the fan actually has supper high resistance causing fuse to blow so it's good you changed the fan too!

[@sherardhubbert7575]

typically its and overload condition from the fan motor going bad. just had this on mine. replaced the fan (fan was bad) and replaced the fuse. fixed the fan probelm and fan working great now but my ac still isnt cold. on to the next part of the system to fault find this beast.

[@MarioUni-nf5jx]

​@@sherardhubbert7575hi! Bro, did you fixed it?

[@InkyIntrovert]

I replaced my fuse...and it started happening again a few months later. If it's over 90 degrees my 2011 hatchback wont push cold air. Our last idea is checking the expansion valve...stumbled upon your video trying to figure out a way to NOT disassemble the entire dash to get to it.

The fuse melted for a reason. You may want to find that reason. However by the time you read this I'm sure the engine had overheated and your head warpped.

Hi I hv own ford fiesta 1.6 sxi 2006 recently it's ac suddenly stopped working

[@livemoments9835]

But sometimes it's working in between I shown mechanic he says switch problem get new AC switch

[@DanielaLopez-zp8hm]

Mad mechanic I have a Ford Fiesta 2013 and my fan is not working I checked all the fuses and they are ok even checked the frion what could it be?

[@piperdoug428]

Here’s one for ya, our 2013 gas snapped all 3 AC bolts

[@raitisdzerkalis]

All of my fuses and relays are ok. Just been re-gassed as well. Blows cold air only when you rev the engine. Warm on idle. Any ideas?

[@rhero1]

Rev engine = cold. Either low freon or weak compressor pump.

[@stobbinsboy]

Ay Carranza it's a Monza! That's why.

[@sprbaynes]

That fuse blows way to often

[@malleryallard5629]

My car is doing this but I can't find that fuse??

[@danielcarranza9653]

Should be under the panel next to the the battery..

[@malleryallard5629]

Daniel Carranza thanks so much! Found it and replaced it but it ended up being the fan, it's working now thankfully!

[@arnelrebenito7227]

Hi, my ford eco sport radiator fan turns normal (with normal interval) when aircon is off but once i turn on my aircon radiator fan seems to run continuously with no interval. Do have any idea guys? Does my radiator auxiliary resistor block maybe busted some some relay?

[@danielcarranza9653]

ARNEL REBENITO .... ? No idea...

[@BudzillaCycles]

I have a Fiesta too! Pos!

[@mva5533]

I just paid $800 for a new condenser and gas and still shite 😂

[@CYBERCATXO]

Ford wants people to drive fast 🤣

[@jimq2]

We have a 2014 fiesta and it blows warm even when we are drive

[@danielcarranza9653]

James Queen could just be a lack of freeon. Hard to say
