Mate, I watched this last night and was hoping this was the solution. It was!

Worked! Thank you for the video!

Thanks for the upload mate. I have the issue today. I turn to cold it's fine it blows air cold. But if I turn to hot, I can just about feel hot air but majority it's cold air. And the knob when I turn it right for hot air. The knob goes back to the left into cold by itself. Like a rubber pulling the knob back to the left. I got a feeling maybe the wire got knackered as well. I will check it tomorrow.

You just saved me a small fortune my friend 😊garage said it might have been the heater matrix or thermostat, but I knew from the change in the pressure on the knob that it was gunna something like this. Many thanks for giving me the confidence to do this simple job 👌🏻

I did this fix but there is a weak spot in the cable so it will straight then crease over again

Deusch

what do I do if I have the same problem but I have an electric heat control?

Had this it went again so I put some oil down the cable it been ok since.

My father-in-law has had this problem for about 3 years and just lived with it. I had some time, so started searching. I came across this video, and within 10 mins it was done and the prob was exactly as in your video.…! It can be done with the radio still attached..! 👍🏻

Good man , thanks for the help

Thank you so so much, we just got a second hand focus,but given the weather at the moment my wife has been cold, you are a light in the dark

Your video just saved me a trip to the garage! Thanks a mill from Ireland

I'll also add my commendations & thanks ! Well done on finding the issue + solution AND sharing (such deeds restore some of my faith in humanity haha !) It's saved me wasting more time & ££ money on a mechanic (I'd also gone over the cooling system, relay etc). very much appreciated, cheers

I’ve only got cold air in mine so will try tomorrow 🙏

Thank you so much works a treat 😀👌

Legend mate! I watched this video, grabbed by Philips screw driver. Had it fixed without disconnecting the radio and sorted in less than 5 minutes. Thank you good sir 🫡

Thanks for sharing this with us, I actually fixed my heating issue with your video. It was the same wire problem.😊

Thankyou, this was perfect video to find, saved some money here

Cheers lad really appreciate that you just saved me some time and money, you were spot on 🤌🤌

Is there just wire cable attached to this black tool ?

Hello bro, i don’t have this white wire cable in my car how i cam fix this ?

Your a hero mate this was my problem which thanks to your video I fixed.

Sorry I have no heat it's like a very mild warm breeze if that makes any sense,,not cold and not warm,,,it's like as if something not opening to allow heat in but still I can work the legs, dash,head vents no bother but as for the temp dial in the middle no difference at all,regards temp

Hi I do have a similar problem, everything check's out ,heater,pipes,stats,filters etc,,,,but my cable is fine no twist but would you know what's on the end of that cable is it the blend door,,or a shutter unit that allows the heat in,can it be snapped or broken would you know,, cheers john

Thank You for posting the video, had the same problem and was about to replace a different cable from the control knob.

Mate you absolute beauty thankyou so much... Wish I'd seen this a year ago its been cold so cold 🥶😂

Thank you so much, been driving me up the wall, just to add you don't even need to disconnect radio. You are an absolute star!!!!

Thank you so much for this bud!!!! Thought my head gasket was gone

Good video, Had the exact same issue with mine..I lubricated the cable to help prevent the issue from happening again

Mate, you're an absolute legend! My heating has been gone nearly a year now and I saw your video last night and now it's fixed! I'd love to buy you a drink!

Thank you Captain Peg. 2 weeks ago my dial stiffened then "gave way" and I thought something had snapped but would have been the cable kinking. Fixed in 20 mins,

Absolute legend. I now have Heat back 😃. Thank you

Had the same problem with my focus heating system. Glad I found your video well done

What is the “CD code, to put back on the security code?”

Thank you, your video helped mee with my problem.

After 6 million videos and months of no heating it works very bad kink but happy boy with heating now

Thank You so much for this. This was exactly the problem I was having with my heater. You are a legend!

Save me money 💰 👍

I think this is the problem i have, however i cant remove the plastic around the outside its literally welded in...any ideas or tips please?

Thank you so much for this video, this was the same issue I had so watching your video helped me resolve it, I managed to straighten the wire without unplugging the radio too so only took me a few minutes, thanks again

Thank you for posting, you can add me to the list of people you’ve helped!

Had exactly the same problem and fixed it in 10 mins 😊didn’t even need to disconnect the stereo power, so no hunting for the unlock code. Thank you for sharing, you’re a gent!! ATB Kev

My 2009 Ford Focus Mk2 has a digital aircon console with separate climate settings for left and right passengers. The problem is that the heater wont turn off properly on one side when i need AC. Air comes out a bit warm. How to solve it?

Just took mine out and the cables snapped. Does anyone know is it easy to replace the whole cable as It looks like it feeds into the glove box or passenger well.

That could be my problem as the heating dial seems looser than normal and the heater core feed is boiling hot but not getting to the car

You helped me

I'm only getting half the amount of heat that I'm supposed to get ,so I'm thinking this could be my problem, if not at least it's a good start, thanks for sharing

It's sometimes the simplest things that cause the most problems. I've been on forums before looking for advice and people always seem to jump to the most complicated answers to a problem where in the end it's usually been something simple and if I'd followed the advice off the forums I'd have spent loads of time and money but not fixed the problem. I think some people like to think they know more than they actually do.

Thanks Sir, you just saved me a lot of work. I'd diagnosed the problem down to somewhere between the control knob and the flap that lets the heat into the cabin, when I saw your video. Lo-and-behold the kink was there - didn't even need to disconnect the stereo to fix it :-D So glad I didn't need to remove the glove box, fuse box and half a ton of plastic.

Frickin life saver. Chatting to my dad other day he mentioned about the heating not working on his Focus and the garage tried mugging him off for £400, I told him Il try and find a solution...found your video as a starting point and well shiiiiit the cable had a kink in it, fixed in seconds, perfect 👍👌
