Wow this is such a helpful video! Would've paid about $300 for part + labour but only paid for the part and followed your tutorial! Thank you so much :)

@taph2o 8 месяцев назад

Let it heat up before you try and turn it,if stuck, and leave it in the straight up position when you shut it down that way the sticky stuff won’t be in contact with any surfaces to glue it shut and it will still function as intended as a diverter for the air control system.

Wow ! That's EXACTLY what i need to do. My 2005 Ford Focus's air control and vent controls just broke. Great video ! Thanks for posting.

In mine one of the cables broke off. I had some identical 0.6mm steel cable laying around and I replaces the broken cable. Then I used some cotton to make the sticky climate control doors not sticky and now it works fine for $0.00 :D

@LG_Hakubi 5 лет назад

I haven't done this yet, but I was quoted 280$ to fix this, so I'm motivated. Thank you for this!

Did it work the exact same for the 07? Thinking about doing it for my mother since hers is stuck on defrost this hot summer when I'm back in town

@desireeann3734 5 лет назад

I am so happy I can find these videos on here. My dad sent me your video for the temp fix (mine was opposite of your video, it was stuck on defrost and I live in SoCal so that's not cool, literally lol). I'm going to buy the part I need and do it myself. Im a single mom and have never worked on a car but this looks too simple! Thank you for posting these videos!

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

Its not bad just take your time and do not get frustrated, Thanks for watching.

@desireeann3734 5 лет назад

@@channelron3593 I watched the video again with my 13 year old son and he did it with my supervision. Do you have any videos on AC compressors for these cars? Mine constantly clicks on and off and I'm hoping to not have to replace it.

Thank you for showing we bought the same exact Focus 2006 with the same problem! I saw somewhere on another RU-vid that they sell that cable pretty cheap at RockAuto.

@monukingra84 3 года назад

Yea its very helpful video for me thanks dear

@motorheadbanger90 5 лет назад

nice. this is a problem i've been dealing with for a year now. I just took it to my mechanic. they ordered this part and i should have this taken care of very soon. It has been a nightmare not knowing what the hell was wrong and not knowing why it was stuck and i had to force it so much. I've been stuck on the floor vents. Couldn't get heat to the defrosters at all which made driving in the winter during snowy nights and days NOT FUN!

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

Ya its not a very good design on the fords part but luckily its an easy fix, Thanks for watching.

@cuddlybearred9446 4 года назад

I wish I had found this video before all the others I watched. Short and to the point. The way it should be.

Thanks, I am still learning how to edit and film, it is harder then I thought ., thanks for watching.

@lpvs3254 5 лет назад

Excellent How-to, Thank-you! My first time having to replace this on my 2005 Focus. Is this a part that commonly breaks/wears out? Maybe I should buy a spare.

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

Not sure the one that I replaced is still working.

@zetter4013 5 лет назад

Kenny u pull, you from Hamilton?!!! Right on

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

Glad that I could help!

@42svb58 5 лет назад

If this happens, then replace the cable to force the system to defrost. Eventually the cable will break again. The evaporator case is seized up and requires taking apart the dash. This video is a band aid solution.

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

I have notice that the unit is starting to get harder to use,

@BugzKiller 4 года назад

Well I fixed that a year ago, THANKS for your video!! Now having another problem with a different Knob (on the left) for adjusting hot and cold temp. Today I tried turning that knob, and it won't turn at all and I don't want to force it. It is in the Colder position, now I need it in the warm position cause it's colder out now. Tried turning it as I mentioned but afraid it will break! It worked last winter! Should I take it off the dash like you did here, maybe it just needs some WD or Oil behind the knob? Your thoughts or anyone, PLEASE??

@channelron3593 4 года назад

Yes sounds like the same problem, I have only had the one problem, so I am not sure if it interchangeable?

@anthonylasure5286 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video, but i don't understand how to even pull the knob off the front. I can't get it apart. I dont know hi8s you got the clips off, i tried to do it just like you did but they crumbled and broke totally destroyed them. This is the problem I have, it looks like your solution should work, but it wont even cooperate with the first part, plus i stripped sll the screws with screwdriver, by hand. Thanks for the upload, I will keep looking.

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

Wow. don't get frustrated keep trying.

@finnnordlund7981 Год назад

Hello! My Ford does not have that problem, instead its the knob that controlls the heat inside the car that is broke, is it the same procedure , with the replacement with the wires running down to the left , (sligltly above the gas behind the panel ) id assume? or do i have to replace the 3 knob unit and what is that called?

@channelron3593 Год назад

Ya I am guessing that you have to replace the entire unit? think it is called Hvac Control Switch

@waynesutton5150 6 лет назад

Same presses for the hot and cold?

@channelron3593 6 лет назад

Yes works the same way, thanks for watching.

@erikavannatter1432 5 лет назад

what is the part that the cable connects to down near the pedel?

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

Good ? I would just call it the lever for air direction? (:

@MarkoZapravo 5 лет назад

I have Ford Fusion 2004 and have a heating issue. Simply, somethimes heated air goes into the cabin, somethimes not. Position on manual control is on the right side (max heating). What could be a problem in this case? Is there some thermostat for cabin heating? Thanks

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

Not that I am aware of, this was a problem with a lot of the cable systems in the fords, as far as I know there is no thermostat in the cabin, But do not take my word for it, sorry could not help.

@howtoanddiychannel2387 5 лет назад

What does the electrical switch do in the new part

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

there is no switch that is the cable.

@glenwoodcampbell2734 2 месяца назад

Wth. The vent door gasket goes bad have to cut out a windows to get to door clean off old sticky gasket. Cover with hvac tape .no more stuck door focus is bad for this

@BugzKiller 5 лет назад

So was the cable broke on the old one??

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

yes it was, the new one worked fine, I have herd some other people had more problems with the unit that its attach to.

@lamborg30 5 лет назад

what does the electrocal connector on the switch do? :)

@channelron3593 5 лет назад

I believe that is just the back light

@shannonandmattsopenmic3257 3 года назад

I'm wondering the same. I don't think it's the light. I looked at the contacts inside the switch. When the blend is set fully cold there is no electrical connection between the two wires. In all other positions there is a connection. ??

@lamborg30 3 года назад

Thosen't matter. Buyed my self a new car since then ;)

@yvonnewagner6308 6 лет назад

We replaced this part but the new part doesn't want to turn...it seems to be locked in defrost still. Any ideas?

@carolnichols1651 5 лет назад

Here's the problem the rubber seal on the blend door turns into a sticky mess (fails) and causes the door to stick that's why you can't move the dial, replacing the cable assembly won't fix the problem. Watch this video and someone with a little mechanical ability can do this, I did it and it fixed the problem. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uwiExNKRNqE.html

@yvonnewagner6308 5 лет назад

@@carolnichols1651 thank you. We will try this because the new part lasted only about 6 weeks, even after putting silicone spray on the seal. We are stuck back in defrost again.
