AC head unit

My AC head unit would not come on when I started the truck. No power completely dead. I put the truck into park and turned it off, waited a few seconds and started the truck again,and the head unit was now working. This has happened twice over about a month. I took the truck to the dealership and they show no thrown codes. Any help here would be appreciated.


2006 F350CC, SWB, 6.0PSD.

The A/C would not throw a code as it is mechanically controlled, independent from the ECU. Sounds to me like you might have a lose wire. Do the lights illuminate?

Yes it is the electro unit in the lariat. When it would not come on it was completely dead no illumination. When it powered up after a restart it would illuminate. The service Mgr told me they have had lots of probs with the expedition electro head units, they havent seen too many happen to the superdutys.

Ah, sorry mate, those things are beyond my abilities. Wish I had it in my SD Lariat though, they are cool.

My Excursion did this this evening. I shut the truck off, restarted and it worked fine. Very strange.

Cool. My I am glad I bought the ESP. Figures it would act up for the first time with my mother in the back seat.
