ISSUE
Some 2010 Transit Connect vehicles built on or before 8/7/2009 may exhibit a climate control blower motor continuously operating, inoperative on one speed setting, or a/c compressor is inoperative. This may be due to a wire chafe behind the center console.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
If the climate control blower motor continuously operates or is inoperative on one speed setting, proceed to Step 3.
If A/C compressor is inoperative, proceed to Step 1. The instrument cluster (IC) sends the climate control blower motor ON signal to the Generic Electronic Module (GEM). If the climate control blower motor ON signal is not received by the GEM, A/C compressor is not enabled.
1. Connect IDS scan tool.
2. Select active command to turn on the A/C compressor.
a. If the A/C compressor engages, proceed to Step 3.
b. If the A/C compressor did not engage, proceed with normal diagnostics. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 412-00.
3. Lift the park brake lever upward.
4. Place the selector lever in the neutral position.
5. Remove the selector lever trim panel in the following sequence.
a. Lift the rear of the panel upward, releasing the rear retaining clips.
b. Pull the panel toward the rear of the vehicle releasing the front retaining clips.
6. Confirm touch condition between blower motor switch wiring and instrument panel (IP) bracket. (Figure 1)
7. Repair any chafed wires using Ford approved splicing methods. Refer to Wiring Diagram (WD), Cell 5.
8. Pull the climate control blower motor wiring away from the IP bracket and secure to the large bundle of wire. (Figures 2 and 3)
9. Tighten tie strap and verify blower motor wiring has sufficient clearance from the IP bracket. (Figure 4)
10. Install selector lever trim panel.
