mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 16y 10m 13d Posted 30/08/10 09:20 AM Share Posted 30/08/10 09:20 AM Today my air-con appears to have given up, I can put it on L and it still blows what is basically warm air, noticed this when it was getting steaming hot inside the car Has anyone else had issues with their air-con? It's still under warranty so I'll book it in to get it sorted out but I was curious if anyone else had a similar issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask for a HIM change. Should not be difficult at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty XR6T Donating Members 516 Member For: 14y 7m 24d Gender: Male Posted 31/08/10 03:27 AM Share Posted 31/08/10 03:27 AM problems with the HIM or the vent control sliders, the passenger side on my dual climate did the exact same thing, no matter what I set it to it just blew whatever the outside temp was.Took it in for repair and Ford said it was the vent slider that controls how much hot or cold air goes where. Nice of Ford to have absolute faith in their product and tell me (its a crap design and will keep on breaking)Not to mention they have to pull apart your dash to get to it and then your dash constantly rattles and squeaks afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 16y 10m 13d Posted 03/09/10 12:02 AM Author Share Posted 03/09/10 12:02 AM Bit of closure to this, took it in to the dealer and they said they couldn't get it to screw up but replaced the module anyway. It's working mint now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue01 Member 25 Member For: 17y 7d Location: Brisbane Posted 04/09/10 01:24 PM Share Posted 04/09/10 01:24 PM Think the recall code was R1005. HMI module. Got mine done, all sweet now. If you own an FG and havent moved or bought it second hand, you shouldve got a recall letter from Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't received a recall letter though.Thanks for the recall code, might speed things up if I tell them what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
