BLOWER TEMP CONTROL
hello, need help.Have a '05 F250 6.0 . Last two weeks I encountered this problem . Go out and make three four stops . When I get back in truck no blower , no lights in the control in dash. Last time I stoped at my parts supplier and got a 40 amp fuse and a relay and chaged them and everything was fine . Today , same thing happen , I played with the controls , shut off the truck restarted . Later on everything came back on again .
It is OK now , but I know it will happen again.
ANyone has any hints of the problem I have ?
Thanks,
Roberto.

I've seen a few posts about that being caused by a failing Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) module. I've had a similar experience with the air conditioning a couple of times, and flipping the headlight switch off and on a couple of times always corrected it.

I have not call the dealer yet, is this thing going to be expensive ? Is it going to be easy to install ? Is it behind the dash ? I search for location and replacement and could not find much.
Thanks,
Roberto.

How many miles? Hours?
The failure can also be severely worn brushes in the blower motor causing a short.
If you unplug the blower fan, and the fuses don't blow...
Oh.. no light on panel can be just a blown bulb (easy to change out).
Am I correct that you have around 150,000 miles or more?

I have used the headlight cycle method for about 200,000 miles. It may happen twice in one day and not happen again for 6 months. When this method fails to correct I will think about a repair and not before.

I only have arounnd 85000 miles . It has happened twice in three weeks . I still have not called the dealer about the part's price and I think I am going to hold back and if it happens again will do the headlight trick .
Thanks to all,
Roberto.
