Re: Dual climate control blowing heat on AC (DCCV removal instructions in post #107)
Hello,
New to the forum. I really appreciate all the knowledge posted here. I read through most all the posts on here. Tried some of the fixes with no success. 2002 Lincoln LS V8 My Ac stopped blowing cold air the other day and was overwhelmed by hot air. It's actually hotter on the coolest temp setting than the hottest temp setting. Way Hotter than ambient. I've had a consistent issues with air in the coolant system. The car will reach hit temperature from time to time, I'll pull over and burp the overflow bottle and it returns to normal operation. None of this has has been related to the cooling In The past, but has affected the heating. Takes many minutes for heat to fill the cabin, maybe a half hour. So, I had a mechanic replace the DCCV valve (heater control valve on Amazon) It is still blowing hot air. I tried running the code test but all I get on the screen is a fully lit screen will all character with no countdown or codes. Picture below. Exiting the code test process I hear the cabin doors opening and closing. https://goo.gl/photos/hB9e7imoWLaKn5ok7 Any ideas where I can start? I can access a snap-on scan tool in a few days, I'll follow up with any ecu codes I find. I should also add that the alternator had been not working properly and right after the hot air incident the alternator finally crapped out. This had been replaced along with the battery. |

Have you checked the vent temps on the passenger side to see if they are any difference between left and right sides?

Re: Dual climate control blowing heat on AC (DCCV removal instructions in post #107)
Re: post #346
New info. I ran the snap-on scanner and there were no HVAC related codes in memory. Ran several tests with the scan tool. No new codes showed up. The only codes in memory had to do with the power loss from the alternator / battery failure. New pictures in album: https://goo.gl/photos/hB9e7imoWLaKn5ok7 I did discover that the AC clutch 10amp fuse was blown. Replaced fusr and Yay! Cold air!! So I went for a drive, brrrr it's too cold in here. So I adjusted the drivers side temperature controlup from the 60 degree cold setting. Both passenger and driver side temperature setpoint were linked at this point. Then a rush of hot air came into the cabin. The same 10amp fuse blew again. I retested this scenario twice, same result, blown Ac clutch fuse. Ac clutch relay bad? Waiting on advice or comments... Thanks for the help. |

Re: Dual climate control blowing heat on AC (DCCV removal instructions in post #107)
It would be very unusual for a relay to cause the fuse to blow. I'd be more inclined to suspect the clutch is causing the fuse to blow, likely due to a bad field coil. Maybe the diode is bad, be even then I wouldn't expect that to cause the fuse to blow, but worth checking.

Re: Dual climate control blowing heat on AC (DCCV removal instructions in post #107)
The service manual instructs to remove the compressor assembly to replace the clutch and field coil. Based on what's required to replace the field coil, I can understand why you'd want the compressor off the car. You wouldn't have much working room to get snap rings off, etc. if the compressor were still on the car.
Have you measured the resistance of the field coil with a multimeter? -Rod |

Re: Dual climate control blowing heat on AC (DCCV removal instructions in post #107)
I took a look at the A/C wiring diagram. It doesn't appear there is a diode in the clutch circuit, so no need looking for that. The diagram does not indicate that it's built in to the relay either.
Of interest though, is according to the wiring diagram, that 10A fuse, F1.01, on your V6 also power the DCCV. I would recommend you unplug the DCCV and run the A/C to see if your fuse still blows. If not, then the issue may be that the DCCV is drawing too much current and causing the fuse to blow. There are a couple of plugs for the DCCV along the passenger side of the radiator shroud that are easy to access versus getting directly to the plug at the DCCV. -Rod |

Re: Dual climate control blowing heat on AC (DCCV removal instructions in post #107)
It sounds like you missed a step for the self test mode, which is entered by pressing the OFF and FLOOR buttons simultaneously and then pressing the AUTO button within two seconds.
The 2798 code indicates the DCCV has a short to ground. Do you have symptoms that caused you to check the DATC for codes? -Rod |

No need to start a new thread and post on an existing thread. I asked a few question on the new thread you started in this forum.

Re: Dual climate control blowing heat on AC (DCCV removal instructions in post #107)
Well folks, I've read through all 5 webpages herein and caught the one different change in activating the self-diagnostics. One suggestion says press OFF and FLOOR then AUTO while another says OFF and DEFROST then AUTO (both versions simultaneously).
I tried them both and nothing occurs. Anyone care to suggest why? 2001 LS8 Sport. |

Re: Dual climate control blowing heat on AC (DCCV removal instructions in post #107)
Which button combination you press depends on what you are trying to do, although I don't find a combination of "OFF and DEFROST" followed by "AUTO."
From the Ford factory service manual for the 2001 Lincoln LS: The DATC module self-test through the front panel display:
Continuous DTCs are fault codes recorded by the DATC module which have occurred during normal operation. For the DATC module this means that all faults (intermittent or hard) that occur while the module is in an operational state shall be reported as a continuous DTC.
So if you want to perform a DATC self test, use the upper series of button presses. If you are just interested in the Diagnostic Trouble Codes, use the lower series of button presses. And of course all of this assumes that your DATC is at least powering up. -Rod |
