2004 A/C problem
The Air Conditioner shuts-off and when turned back on...it reads 75 degrees until you reset it to desired temp. Has happened twice within a month period. Would like to know if this has happened to any of you because If I can't inform my service tech of other malfunctions...I might be in for a battle of "can't duplicate the discrepancy". Truck has less than 16,000 miles.
Thanks,
Bill Peterson

Ac Problem
I got an 06 FX4 with 6K. Noticed the same problem this past weekend. Turned on AC was blowing hot air.Turned off the ac then turned on. Rotated the temp control several times, then began blowing cold. Almost seems like there must be a thermostat control thats not functioning properly. Gonna research. Hopefully will find an answer. Will let you know. If you come up with anything let me know.

2004 A/C Malfunction
Thanks...will try the battery cable deal. Mine is an '04 Larait Supercrew loaded...didn't have the heated seat button problem. All that it has done...both times...is shut-off. When I turn it back on...the degrees reads 75 (Florida) and of course it blows hot at that setting. I punch in 60 degrees and full fan...no more problems. I'll go to the dealer first so that it will be a part of my record and then do the battery cable but probably won't know if I have a fix because it happened only twice in two years but it did happen twice in the past month.
Thanks,

A/C Problem
I'm sorry for the delay in coming back but I might have good news for some of us. I finally got into my Ford Dealer and talked straight to the A/C tech. He says that they have seen and fixed my problem on other F-150's several times. I asked why a Bulletin has not been issued and of course, I got the....I don't know look. Anyway, he ordered a Control Module P/N#19980. Got it installed on 9/14/2006...took about 30 mins...and it seems to be working just fine. But as you know...I won't know for about a month or two of driving and it's almost October....so, might not be until next year before I know if it's "Really" fixed or not. Hope you guys/gals will call your Ford Dealer and make an appointment. BTW....75 degrees is the automatic preset position on the A/C unit...and it comes on at that degrees when you restart the A/C after it shuts-down.

I had like problems with mine and it was the battery. If you have the auto AC and it shows 75 which is what shows up on a reset. If the thing blows hot air shut it off hold down off and defrost at the same time then relese both and within two seconds hit auto the blower image will spin for 20 seconds. then if you have a code mine was 1676 voltage out of range. The air would come back on cold when I turned it on. This went on for about 3 weeks. Finaly my battery showed signs of not starting. Once I replaced the battery which was 3 years old I had no more problems with my AC. This day and age of electronics a weak battery can effect all kinds of computers or electronic modules before you have starting problems.

@004 A/C problems
I'll do the battery thing if the module that Ford changed doesn't fix the problem. The Air Cond. Tech. at my dealer says this has happened a few times and he's pretty sure that we have a Fix. There is still "no Bulletin" on the subject. My truck is also still under warranty and I hope all of the minor stuff shows up before next September...?? I also had a sliding rear glass window malfunction...didn't work at all....the motor was removed and replaced and works fine.

2004 F-150 A/C problem
You may want to speak to the AC Tech @ your dealership. That's the way that I went and the guy knew exactly what I was talking about without going through other people and maybe getting a garbbled account of the discrepancy.
