Seat broken? And a few other problem's..

[Raudermaster]

Kind of odd, but only the driver seat does it. The back part doesn't come up as far as the passenger one does, and makes it hard to reach the steering wheel. It's been like that for a good month, but it usually isn't on my mind. What could it be? Is it broken? Do I have to bring it back to my dealer and have them fix it under warranty? And my other problem is my temperature unit. For anything, A/C, Heat, and Vent, When you're in the 60 degrees, and you bring it down colder, it goes like this, "69, 68, 67, 66, 65,-60." What happened to 64-61? When I bought it, it went through those 3 degrees, and now it won't? What gives?

The seat thing, I am not sure, but the temp. I am sure it is fine, or at least mine has always been like that. I guess Ford feels biased towards 61-64. I've never thought of it as an issue.

I would say let the Dealer "look" at the seat. As for me I am 6'6" and never had a seat issue with 35K on it. Got it new in Sept.of "02.

As sweetair said A/C is fine.

Keep me poste about your seat issue.

Alright thanks. I gotta make an apt. for it before the snow falls. I mean, it's not on the "to do" list, but it's just irritating at times stretching for the steering wheel.

I don't think it ever showed between 60 and 65 -- at least mine didn't if I recall correctly. The '06 F150 I bought had a information card attached to the climate control system explaining that 60 was a MAX cooling setting, which automatically set the fan speed at high and set the sytem to recirc. On my F150, it shows 60, then if you push the temp button it jumps to 65, the minimum tempt setting with normal thermostatic control.

From the Marauder owners manual:


For continuous maximum cooling, push the blue button until 16°C (60°F) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue maximum cooling (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a warmer temperature is selected by pressing the red control.


For continuous maximum heating, push the red button until 32°C (90°F) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue maximum heating (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a cooler temperature is selected by pressing the blue control.



Manual override controls

The manual override controls allow you to determine airflow location and fan speed. To return to full automatic control, pressAutomatic/AUTO.


Max A/C - Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel registers. A temperature of 16°C (60°F) will appear in the display window until automatic/AUTO, another manual override control, or the temperature control has been selected. The A/C compressor will only function if the outside temperature is above approximately 2°C (36°F). Max A/C is noisier than Norm A/C, but more economic and efficient. This mode will reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
