P0528

My truck keeps throwing a code which is P0528 fan speed sensor no circuit, according to my edge insight. Now my question is, would this affect my air conditioning? Because during the summer my A/C is very *****ty. At idle it only blows out warm air and is bearly cold once you get up to speed. Ive recharged the A/C to ford spec, their isnt any leaks, and i checked the gap spacing in the A/C clutch. Im running outtta ideas.

That code is for the VSF check the wiring to the fan clutch (espcialy where it plugs in at the shroud) If all wires look good then you will probably need a new fan clutch. This is probably the reason for running a little hot (just got done reading your other post about that). As far as the A/C goes I don't see how this would effect it other than the condensor will be getting hot sitting in front of the Radiator. That could cause your problem. I would fix the p0528 code first then see what happens. Also make sure the condensor and stuff aren't pluged up with dirt and debri. That would all so cause a poor A/C performance at idle.

The A/C just sucks period. But at idle its terrible. Condensors clean! lol.


How hard is the fan clutch to replace? and can this be covered under the 2 year/200k mile extended diesel eng care from ford?

I have no Idea if it would be covered under the ford warrenty or not. It's not really hard to do for your first time doing it I would count on 3-4 hours!

One more question, do you happen to know how much a clutch costs?
