Yes, Key in the hold. More fun in the dark than these tender fellas who need a big round button with a light in it. Plus, these push button starters up here in Canada are stolen everyday.
To date my truck (2020 XLT Sport) has 90,000 kms on it and 30,000 are pulling my TT. It is a 21 ft trailer and fully loaded is just over 6000 lbs and 650 lbs on the tongue. I use a Husky round bar WDH with 800-1200 lb bars. I have a Tekonsha brake controller and it works great. With the trailer...
I have an XLT and it has remote start on the FOB. I use it all the time and also use my FP App from the 26st floor when the truck is outside below me. Works great.
I had my dash pulled last summer and its going back in for squeeks behind the speedo area. My tech that did the work only does dash work so lots of experience. Be prepared for the same . Plastic parts suck in a dash.
It will. The heater box gets warped at the doors catch. I had new actuators installed in both sides and they both failed again within 3 weeks. If the doors are sticking, the heater box must be changed. I know it sucks but it is the only long term fix.
Anthony, the clicking you are hearing is the actuator trying to move a blend door that is sticking. Get your truck into the dealer and get it fixed before your warranty is up. The dash out is not as bad as one would think as it comes out in one piece. That said you do want a good tech doing it...
Further update: A/C is still working great. Got a call from Ford Corp. yesterday and after telling them about the $500 I'm still out of pocket for an issue that should have been fixed before my warranty expired, they have stepped up with $500 worth of FordPass Reward points. Works for me as I...
My 2020 went in today and I'm happy to say its now snowing on the drivers side. No scratches or marks on the dash so it looks like I got the good tech. Nice and cold and no squeaks! I hope this is the end of this heater box issue. Ford Corp did come through and paid all but $100 of the $2500...
I will be doing a video of all the panels before it goes in just as a CYA. Good thing is the tech doing it the one who does all their dash work so he knows what he is doing. They say the dash comes out in one piece so I’m hoping it will go ok.
New Update: After putting in the complaint with Ford Corporate Canada and speaking with the dealer about this heater box issue, now the 2nd actuator has failed. Back on the phone with the dealer and finally they have agreed to change out the heater box. As I am now out of warranty, this repair...
If you want to avoid QC on your next trip, put NB to ON then add a waypoint in the US like Albany, NY. That will stop the unit from re-calculating every time you pass a side street. Pick anyplace on the route you want to take.
Thanks Jay, I'm going to wait and see what the new actuator does. Replaced the left side 4 weeks ago and now the right one is gone.
The actuators are in stock now somewhere. They got one for me in a week and a half.
Jay,
How much of the dash did you pull out to get to this?
My truck is going in Monday for the right side actuator replacement.
I have a feeling this is a band aid repair and I'll be back for the heater box later.

Troy,
Would you mind giving out the dealer name? I would be interested in speaking with them since I have the same issue but my dealer says it is not the heater box. All they want to do is change out the actuators.
One good thing about towing with a Ranger and traveling with another Ranger owner towing. If you get separated, you will see them again within two hours!! AT THE GAS STATION. Be safe out there all you campers and see you out on the road! Happy travels.
