Getting code 025 on the EATC. Nothing but really hot air from the A/C. Don't have my shop manual with me so anyone know what the code is and the fix off hand? Did a search but got a bunch of unrelated threads.

OK, thanks. So the blend door motor needs to be replaced or something like that?
After sorting through a lot of threads here in the search, I found this one. http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...d+door+failure Good write up but sounds like a pain. Got to decide if I'm going to do the repair myself or just pay someone.
I dont know.....it sounds like a PITA but he says its not that bad....prolly at least a 3 hour job. You can save yourself a lot of coin if you do it yourself.

Could also be a vacuum leak or the o-rings in the EATC.

I already did the O-ring repair about a year ago.
Pretty sure the problem is blend door, I had/have the same problem.
Try running the diagnostic a number of times in a row, or even a few times for a few days in a row. You may be surprised what it can do to at least get things where you can use them until you can do a proper repair.
Blend door problem went away but is now back. Guess I got to finally attempt to do the blend door repair but don't feel like it. I bought the part last time I had the problem but it went away. How much would it cost to just have a shop or the dealer fix it?

Any attempt to guess at that would be pulling numbers from one's ass. It depends so heavily on the honesty/integrity of the shop, along with their skill/experience at the specific job and also the prevailing labour rate in your area. An earlier reply mentioned 3 hours...around here that would be $300...dealer would be at least double that because they can.
I once paid a respected shop to replace the heater core in a '99 Taurus as I was told it was a BEAR of a job, and the shop surprised me by doing it a lot quicker and for a good bit less money than I was expecting. They told me they had done a lot of them and had learned all the tricks, so you never know.

OK, its warmer weather here and my A/C doesn't seem to be fixing itself this time, lol. So I'm going to get it checked out and be prepared that they will have to replace the blend door actuator.
