This is for the 99 Crown vic I purchased not the Marauder. Both cars have the same electric climate control.
Heres my issue, My A/C will only blow hot. The compressor kicks on, the lines get cold but its not blowing the cold air into the cabin no matter what setting. I have air blowing out all the vents and it will switch to floor to defrost and back again with no issues. I have done the self test of the EATC and it came up with the codes 024 and 025. Thats a blender door malfunction.
My question for you guys is where is the hot/cold door located and how is it actvated? (Vacuum or electric?) Im also wondering if this is related to me doing the spark plugs this weekend and the back plug near the firewall on the passenger side is near a plastic diaphram with what looks like a bottle cap on top of it. It also has a white clip connecting the line to the compressor and a black line which goes directly to the intake manifold and pulls vacuum. There is also a plug on it and small vacuum line underneth it. What does this do??? When I did the plugs I unplugged it to make it easier to remove the spark plug, when I restarted the car I forgot to plug it in and the check engine light came on. I plugged it back in and cleared the code by disconnecting the battery. Does this have any control on the blender door for the hot/cold???
One last thing, There is a black line that comes off this plastic valve I described and it goes into a plastic line with a green cap that connects to the A/C system. Inside the cap is a valve, I pushed the valve in and nothing came out. Is there supposed to be pressure in there or is it a breather of some sort??
Thanks for any help, This has me annoyed :mad2:
