Escape A/c *****...

Hello,

New here and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a couple of 2002 Ford Espcape *****, for the A/c control and temp control? Mine stripped on the inside and will not turn the control anymore. If anyone has any info, I would really appreciate it. Thanks and have a good day!

Joe

If the **** ferrule is just cracked and not broken off, you could try glueing a 3/8" compression fitting (the kind used with copper or plastic water line to join it to a copper compression fitting) on the ferrule to repair it. I reinforced all of mine this way and have yet to break one.

I had the same thing happen with my '01 Esc XLT V6 4WD (except it was the fan and function *****). Took it to the dealer for regular service & had replacements installed while it was in. Not happy with the new *****, as they don't sit flush with the panel the way the temperature- and original ***** did.

cheap fix

I was able to fix all three of my ***** by applying some super glue to the cracks and then re-enforcing with two applications of heat shrink tube. It appears to hold well, but only time will tell.

Had the same problem on the wife's 03. She would crank the fan **** so fast she ended up breaking it. I fixed mine (and reinforced the other two) by using heat shrink tubing & a zip tie on the back side. I also moved the fan **** to a lesser-used function (heat control) to extend the life of it. It's been at least 5-6 years now and none of them have failed.
