Stevoo Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 You must have a hole or crack in the air pipes behind the dashboard. i would of thought that the dealer would of put the blower on full power, and set it to blow to windscreen foot well etc etc, and block the pipes and see if any air was escaping along the pipes!!!!

galaxybox Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) The dash is completely in bits again now and the problem has been identified. The main motor that controls the main 3 way venting (i.e from windscreen to feet) is not moving to the extent it should. With the motor removed, you can manually (and easily) move the vents mechanism to its full extent. With the motor attached and controlled by the climate control panel, the motor just will not move far enough in either direction, therefore the vents do not open and close fully. When I had the shorting wiring (that goes to the climate control panel) a month ago, it was thought initially that the panel was faulty. A new one was tried by Ford and the panel was eliminated. Then the shorting wiring was found. Ford reset and reprogrammed the panel and I suspect at this stage that they perhaps have done something wrong in this. The server motor seems OK, the gear box on it is tight and theres no play, the motor is quiet and moves smoothly. It just seems the panel is not telling it to move far enough in either direction. Back to the Ford garage today to be tested and see if the panel was re programmed incorrectly. Edited February 22, 2008 by galaxybox Quote
