Hi guys,

just wanted to know if anyone else has had heater problems with there BAs or BFs?

I have a BA turbo and the other day I went to turn the de mister on only to find out I had no hot air.

I checked the heater hoses running into the firewall, both where hot... indicating to me no blockage.

I have been told there is a plastic linking rod of some sort that moves the flap from cold to open and that this could be broken, has anyone had this or a similar problem with a different fix?

any help would be great.

Cheers

I had this issue a few years back, you need to take it to ford to be fixed, its a big job as they need to pull out the dash and replace the control arm. I was charged $600.

There's a couple of threads on here devoted to this but yes the mixer shaft is probably stripped.

With the car parked in quiet place turn the heater dial to hot, if you can hear a faint whirring sound then the mixer shaft is cactus, if you dont hear the whirring then its most likely the HIM module.

Either way its a dash-out job.

Had exactly the same happen recently.

As was said the dash has to come out and the control arm shaft replaced.

It should have cost me $650 to have this done but as the car was 2 days out of its extended Ford warranty and I complained to Ford I only paid $325.
