2004 mountaineer climate control issues

[martin tyree]

Dash vents with a/c on this am worked fine. This afternoon nothing coming out of dash vents. Has automatic temp control sys. with rear heat and a/c. Defrost works ok, floor vents ok, fan motor working just fine at all speeds. recurlation button works ok. rear air works fine but I get nothing from the dash vents, any hints or ideas? Thank you:runaround:

Since you have the automatic climate controls, try pulling diagnostic codes using the following procedure:

The DATC module will retrieve only continuous (intermittent) DTCs when carrying out this procedure.

• Retrieval of continuous DTCs can be initiated after cycling the ignition switch from OFF to ON. Normal operation of the climate control system stops when retrieving continuous DTCs.
• To retrieve continuous DTCs press the OFF and PANEL buttons simultaneously and release, then press the AUTO button within two seconds . All vacuum fluorescent segments will be displayed if there are no continuous DTCs present. Continuous DTCs are indicated by the presence of the degrees Celsius symbol (°C) on the DATC module display. Record all DTCs displayed.
• If any DTCs appear, carry out the diagnostic procedure. Refer to the Dual Automatic Temperature Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code Index and follow the ACTION for each DTC given.
• If a condition exists but no DTCs appear, GO to Symptom Chart Condition: The DATC System Is Inoperative, Intermittent or Incorrect Operation.
• To exit and retain all continuous DTCs, press any button except DEFROST. The DATC module will exit the retrieve continuous DTCs mode and retain all continuous DTCs.
• To exit and clear all continuous DTCs, press the DEFROST button. The DATC module will exit the retrieve continuous DTCs mode and all continuous DTCs will be cleared.
• Always exit the procedure before powering the system down (system turned OFF). Once the procedure is exited the ignition switch must remain ON for at least 30 seconds to allow the temperature blend door actuators to automatically recalibrate.
• Continuous DTCs will be deleted after 80 ignition switch ON cycles after the intermittent fault occurs.

there is an arm on the door that controls the vents tha breaks. it is replaced as the upper heater case. not a bad job but if unfamiliar with dash removal not a fun one at home
