2000 Expedition Resistor Replacement
Friend just got a quote from the stealership - to try to find out why her heat is stuck on hot ($650).
So... I'm thinking resistor... similar symptoms, I've replaced them in 2 of my cars this year alone. Any clue how hard it is to get to it in these vehicles?

I don't think it is the resistor unless the fan only runs on high or just one speed. It may be a blend door problem where the door or blend door actuator is stuck on the hot side. Also may be the heating controls in the dash.

Re: 2000 Expedition Resistor Replacement
yeah, I'm reading this now, and I totally stated that incorrectly...
by hot, I meant high (it sure get's hot : )... but I have seen resistors that are stuck on 2 of 4 and such (it's not always high, but it is most of the time...) Anyway, stealership quoted her over $600 to tear apart the dash and replace, so I wanted to see what's really invovled... I've never had to completely remove the dash, but it's always in a tough place. : )

Re: 2000 Expedition Resistor Replacement
All ford says about location, is it is in the center of the dash. It also shows about 30 steps to replace it. If the vehicle has a console, there are things to cut and modify. Tried to post the info here, but could not get it to go. Good luck.

Re: 2000 Expedition Resistor Replacement
do you know what manual that came from? I had planned to pick up a haynes the other day, but I'm nursing the flu now. Obviously, it doesn't keep her from driving the vehicle, but she'd like to have it fixed for a little less than $600 : )
If it's something you can email, please do. Thanks!

The information came from Ford factory manuals. I will try to get it to you.

Re: 2000 Expedition Resistor Replacement
I'm still having trouble with my AC, I post my issues a couple weeks ago.and didn't get any replys really.anyway I'm wondering if I'm having a blend door problem or not. what I have noticed the last couple weeks is that I get heat when I want cool and visa-versa but if I fiddle with the controls I sometimes will get what I want. it is intermitent. but I also found that I can not get any hot air out of the back vents from either master or back controls only cold air.I don't know the symptoms of a bad blend door , or perhaps a bad control. if anyone could help me I would appreciate that. Thanks, Tork
