Periodically, after I start my 2005 F350, there is no display for the climate control and nothing works. If I shut down and restart the truck once or twice, the display returns and everything is okay. Any ideas?

Thanks.

 

I have this same problem. It only happens once in a while. I took it too ford one time for a simmular problem. The interior light would not come on when you open a door. That only happens once in a while too. Of course they never figured it out and it still dose it every know and again.

 

Also happens on my 06... Never brought it in to have it checked out.. As long as it comes back after restart they won't fix it..

 

try cycling the headlight switch a couple of times....it usually works..

 

If that works your head unit is starting to go out.

 

ESP covers it, if it happens again take it in and have them replace under warranty.. i had mine replaced.

What did they replace??

 

My 2005 F250 does the same thing. Once or twice a year it happens. I took it in the first couple of times and they couldn't find anything.

 

Holy cow!! Mine did the same thing on Thursday.
It has done it since it was new, I took it in to the dealer for warranty and the display worked every time, no fix.
I was told that the in-dash control unit was defective, the dealer wants $291.00.
I unplugged/plugged in the fuse under the dash and wiggled some wires and the display came on. Working ever since.
I found a used one in a wrecking yard for $95.00, never purchased since mine is now working again.
What is up with this?

 

its the digital climate control in the dash, it quit working so i stopped at my local dealer and they seen it not working and ordered a new one under warranty he said they are known for going out.

Same here...maybe its an internal clock glitch...programmed in the computer to act up simultaneously throughout the planet at a certain time on a certain date? Anyways...it works now. :0)

 

When I took mine to the dealer it started to work, they took my word on it and replaced the unit.

 

Better kiss your dealer.

I've had it twice on my '05. Once in Wyoming a couple years ago. Was not looking forward to a 1500 mile trip with the windows open. Restarted and it came back on.

Last time I pulled the fuse, reinstalled and it came back on.

More high quality parts. A whole 60K miles.

 

Mine has done it 3 times the 3 yrs. i have had my truck. Comes back after i restart the truck every time.

 

same thing as UGA33 said for me also....three years and happened 3 or 4 times. Turn off truck...restart and it's back on.....
