Oh i agree and have no plans to do that, it's baked in that this vehicle platform is clutch fan only and not a candidate for a 'mod' to a e-fan due to those sensors that airline tech posted.
Mini update;
They have the truck since Monday confirmed the warped heater box, ordered parts just waiting on a couple of parts to come in.
He estimate I’ll be back on the road sometime next week.
Also said they have done one other Ranger before as well as other models (think he said a Fusion)...
Yes I mis-described that part, with the hood open I watched the fan and all it’s howl glory for a few moments to see if it would stop spinning after the initial fluid warm up it didn’t not sure what the time frame for it to react( and it was about 40*) now it may have slowed a little i wasn’t...
Those wires that are routed inside that protective hose thingy would the E fan have a connection for those?
I’m not sure even what they are or what they do.
I’m guessing here but I think the Ranger is the only vehicle in Fords lineup that uses a C fan, and I’ll never understand why.
@ NeilP
In your first post you wrote " As I get older, I find myself thinking about downsizing " so it sounds like a state of mind thing not a financial thing, ( I'm just guessing there obviously).
If those vehicle make you happy owning them i would keep them and try to overcome the state of...
Great video on how it works, wonder if it shuts down complexly when driving highway speeds and air is at a high flow rate,
If it's as revolutionary as the (2010) vid makes it out to be wonder why the 6th Gen is using elec ??
Just to be clear while i'm having some issues now, i love it for being the perfect truck for me in many ways, i will tackle the issues one at time, (if there's more than one) and keeping it 4 or 5 more years is the plan.
To bad a SCab too not many of them around, so what happens to it if you know, can it be resold with a branded title that it was LL buyback? Or junkyard for parts?
Ok so i reset and got all the modules to show, i have code B 1082 Right Temp Damper Motor &
B1082 Circuit open, so there should be no issue with the dealership not seeing them.
Yes thanks for that, although i don't have those codes (DTC) B1082 and/or B1081 may also be retrieved from the front controls interface module (FCIM).
And while checking with Forscan I'm not even seeing the FCIM so that's weird,.
Maybe mine being a base XL with the single zone hvac i don't have...
Anyone know what module the HVAC reports to? i thought it was the Forward Control Interface Module (FCIM) but don't see that listed using the Forscan scanner tool.
i do see Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) and that shows no error codes.
I was checking for any error codes to verify my...
Can you report back with how it went and review on any collateral issues after you get it back.
Mine is going in next week for the 'surgery' :frown: hopefully yours goes well as mine does too.
In my case it only clicked once or twice and now seems to be quiet, you have. Lariat dual zone so a bit more complicated internals.
Also there are a bunch of threads with dual zone trucks having issues check those for comparison.
The only way to know if yours is not working properly is to let...
