Marauder Issues!!!

[Black Machine]

I love my sleek sexy Marauder but she has been giving me fits the last couple weeks. About a month ago I was cruising around on a somewhat warm day and decided to turn the vent on w/the temp set to 60 degrees,...instead of cool refreshing air, I was hit with 90 degree heat. No matter where I set the HVAC temp, all I got was hot air. On Sunday I was riding around and got chilly,...when I turned the vent on w/temp set @ 90, I got cold air. What the heck? All I have is cold air. Tonight I was about to leave to go grab a pizza and BAM,...no headlights! The only way that I have headlights is to pull the turn signal back and ride around holding it blinding folks w/high beams. Is there anybody out there that can tell what the heck is going on?:confused:

Having tranny overhauled AGAIN. This will be like the 5th or 6 time it's in the shop for tranny issues. Can u say lemon!

I believe the hot air is likely to be the blend air door. A relatively inexpensive part with a lot of dash tearing apart labor to get to it. Mine did the same thing six months ago, so I bought the part from Ford. Hasn't done it again, so it sits in the spare parts bin awaiting the proper "motivation".

^^^^^^ What he said.

Both are easy and inexpensive fixes, and the good news is after FBM fixes your LCM, the problem will be solved permanently. :up:

mine also does the same thing with the a/c. i guess its the same thing because no matter what temp i put it at the temp doesnt change, and if its hot outside i get hot ass air when its cold the air comes out cold??? i need to fix this asap i get code 024 i replaced the actuator already..

I appreciate the advice guys,...I am going to tear into her this weekend. Thanks again yall.:o

turn on your a/c and check you lines in the the engine bay if one of the line is getting cold then your a/c is working and could have a EATC or blend door,

It was the blend air door,...no damn fun at all to change!!! I do have properly working HVAC now though. Thanks for the advice guys.

How long did it take you to replace?

I heard it was a PIA so I had the dealer do mine a few years back when it needed replaced.

I can do them in 3 - 4 hours.

[lifespeed]

I can do them in 3 - 4 hours.

3 - 4 hours after having done it before? Wow, not looking forward to this. If I was on the east coast I would consider hiring you to do it :D
