Now that engineers at Ford seems to have found the fix for the hesitation, will they work now on the famous Vents/Floor air distribution issue.

Last year there was a note (see below) and since then I heard or seened nothing about this issue.


Ford Special Service Message 18284:

18284 2005 MUSTANG - HIGH AIRFLOW FROM DEFROSTER VENTS WHEN IN FLOOR OR FLOOR/DEFROST MODES
SOME 2005 MUSTANGS MAY INTERMITTENTLY EXHIBIT HIGH AIRFLOW FROM THE DEFROSTER VENTS WHEN OPERATING THE CLIMATE CONTROL IN THE FLOOR OR FLOOR/DEFROST MODES. ENGINEERING IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THIS CONDITION. TO TEMPORARILY RESOLVE THE CONDITION, TURN THE CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL CONTROL TO THE 'OFF' POSITION, THEN TURN IT BACK TO THE DESIRED MODE. DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIR UNTIL A NEW SERVICE PROCEDURE AND/OR PARTS ARE RELEASED. MONITOR OASIS FOR UPDATES.

I am waiting on a fix for this also.....

 

I would love it if they would fix this problem!

 

I got the FSM from ebay, and schematics show its just a pot on the blend doors...so trimming the feedback by adding some resistors (or pots) should correct it- just dont know about the connectors, as I really dont want to cut the harness...on my endless list of 'things to do...'

for now to keep your feet warm, select dash+floor and close the dash vents- it does shutoff the defrosters on that setting...bull**** that ford didnt correct this by now.
