I've got no control over the direction of air, so no demist just flat out to your face, stop and a few speeds in between. Still have temp control however. Anyone able to point in a good direction before I tear out a dash with no diagnosis? I'll put up a tech doc while I'm fixing it too as I haven't come across any in a quick search Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93145-flat-out-or-stop-lost-zone-control-on-my-hvac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the glovebox and ave a look in the Passenger side foot wheel up under the dash next to the icc and you see the HIM , its a white/tan coloured unit with three coloured levers coming out of it. Have a look and see if and of the link rods have come off the levers or if the levers actually move when changing vent assignment. Also try disconnecting and reconnecting the him. I've seem them come back to life after doing this. Or get really techo and use Forscan and an ELM327 to run the HIM test/diag Edited 22/04/17 11:06 AM by Ralph Wiggum Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93145-flat-out-or-stop-lost-zone-control-on-my-hvac/#findComment-1637138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe low voltage could be why the boost gauges only work half the time as well Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93145-flat-out-or-stop-lost-zone-control-on-my-hvac/#findComment-1637178 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah - battery seems to play a large role in things going haywire on the dash.
