I had my windshield defrost on and I pressed it and it lit up the center display of the seat with 2 bars next to it lit up and I then pressed the bottom left climate control on/off button to shut it off. And about a second or two later the blower kicks on and starts running on high and I look down and on the display I see two things I hadn't seen before ever lit up.

On the top left of the radio/climate control display it should bars, like cell strength bars or fan speed bars and there were like 5 that were small to larger. And on the top right hand side above Ext Temp it displayed 88. They were like that for a second then disappeared.

I tried to replicate it but couldn't then was wondering if my display hasn't been displaying stuff since I got the car and it just blipped and I saw it.

I have never seen anything representing fan speed, so I thought maybe that is what those bars are.

I went through the manual multiple times and couldn't find anything that breaks down what can be displayed on the climate/radio display.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

That was self test mode. Press power and def at same thats what you get

 

Whats "def"?

But thanks for the reply!

 

That's the lead guitarist in the band Def Leppard...

or could it be Defrost?

 

Yea it was defrost haha

 

i have the nav unit and after picking the car up and driving 10 hours, the hvac stopped responding to the changes that i input on the screen. I guess it overheated but has not acted up since...

 

Hey Grifftech,

I hope this was what 2012 grabber blue gt mentioned. If not, please make an appointment with your dealer and let me know if you need me.

Everything seems ok now.. I am more worried about getting the darn transmission whine fixed!!!! I keep getting told by the dealer that it is being looked into by Ford and the FSE he spoke with said they are workign on a kit to fix the issue. I sure hope this is the case, cause the car is just annoying to drive.... I actually contemplated for a moment going and trading it in for a Camaro.. the horror!!

 

Mine did that once thought maybe because it was hot that night I didn't have a/c on. I had thought maybe it turned itself on to cool radio off.

 

Surprised Boomer isn't on Operation Repost.


There's a lot of threads/info on this

 

I understand. Let me know if you want me to reopen your case and have that documented in there as well.

Deysha

 

Deysha that would be great, I just want to have as much of this documented as possible in case something does happen I have stuff documented.

Thanks,
Chris

 

No problem, Grifftech. I sent you an PM, please check your inbox.

Heres a photo everyone of what it looks like. Grabber blue is right, it is a self test. But if the spots are there for the fan speed and other temps, then should there not be a way to always display the fan speed there??

 

i wounder if theres a way to display the fan speed and temp on the screen since the places are there and the obviously able to work.
