Should be three. I would think. That’s normal, don’t have car anymore so can’t check

Should just be able to turn the AC off and use the fans

@@chrish7255 I did it’s still blowing out cold air😩

@@chrish7255 if the blue thing is the ac does that mean the gray one is the heat ?

Either your engine cold or you still have the AC on. Not mechanically possible to blow cold if AC compressor.

Yes, it's does

No, it should not

Yes, if you have the AC on the compressor will run continuously. If doing a long journey I will turn off say every 20-30 minutes and run ambient air through. Because there is a little bit of ice in the evaporator this has the double benefit of cooling that ambient air and also defrosting the evaporator. You are right, a little bit of manual intervention will be required on longer journeys. But if living somewhere hot, like say Texas, if pull outside air in it’s difficult to freeze on a hot sunny day.

Just I had a caliber with the clutch duck and ac blow cold for 200 miles and no issue.... Had the car running like that for years and no issue...

47k should definitely work. Try the 22k and see first if you have time. Be interested to know if 22k is sufficient; I imagine it probably is. Either way, one (47) or both should work.

@@chrish7255 thank u for your time. I'll be sure to let u know what happens

​@@chrish725547k worked!! Thank u a state over; NM. So, u understand the need for an AC ha. Thank u Sir, once again!

​@@chrish7255oh, I'm too sketchy to try the 22, but if it fails, I def will

Probably not because you applying a certain resistance to a certain part of the circuit, not sure the sensor will have the same resistance. If you are trying to replace the sensor you could check a wiring diagram and see if it works. I think unlikely because then you will have two sensors in parallel circuit.

Glad to hear it

I'm having the same problem what did you do?

I checked as much as I could with the fuses, relays and wiring. I wanted up taking it to a mechanic who changed out the evaporator but it had lingering issues. The control would not switch between defrost, vent and floor. I was told I had a bad head unit. Bought and changed it 3xs thinking I had a bad unit (the reviews say it's a possibility on the aftermarket ones from Autozone). Took it back to the mechanic who did the same thing and also changed the actuator. Nothing worked. My mechanic gave up saying it was probably a wiring issue. I took it to Ford. They said it was the evaporator. I tried to explain what my mechanic had done, but they insisted. I agreed to let them pull the dash. They changed the evap sensor, 2 actuators and a bracket. Still didn't work. They changed the head unit. That didn't work and they put my old one back. I kept arguing with them that it was a wiring issue. They said it wasn't. A week later they said my car was ready. Turns out it was a wiring issue. But they didn't tell me that until I asked them a million times. They would not say what they did and at that point the service advisor became very short w me. They did give me a break on the labor rate but it still cost me $1800 not including the head unit I bought from zone for $200, pluss all of my time without a car. If you are good at tracing and replacing wire, you will probably find the wire that the hack was done on is fried.. at least one of them. If you can run a replacement wire, it would probably be the best place to start. Sadly, had I taken it to my mechanic in the first place, he knows a trick, I'm assuming others do too, to cut an access panel under the dash without pulling it. They can replace that way. Would have cost about $200 if I had done that. Live and learn I guess. Good luck to you.

​@@triggscain328I watched another video that said the actuator blend door can lose its programming and position. That video showed that it can be reprogrammed to regain his position. It also mentioned that it lost its programming after battery change.

Could work, let me know if you try it. I guess would have to check the wiring diagram to make sure those two wires actually go directly to temp sensor.

You can just squeeze it in with the wires in. I’m not sure what would happen if you remove wires.

100EP51233K0 33k Ohm Resistors, 1/2 W, 5% will this work ??

@@MrChrisz1234 should work just fine.

Seems most likely 3&4 from top left

I think you could use either. It’s really the ohm (~30,000) you want to get right.

39 THOUSAND ohm resistor will work just fine

that's the resistor

Mines too car won't take off good with ac on

Just curious did you ever get your ac problem fixed? I’m currently having the same problem

Howd it work

Any electronics store should have one. 25K ohm - 40K ohm resistor. If not - Ebay

@@chrish7255DOES Wattage matter? Under what circunstances this bypass shouldn't be done?

What is the amp?

Hey Thomas, did you ever figure this out. It looks like most of the repair tutorials I am finding are for the 06-2012 model Fusions. I've not see this replacement for an 13-18 model yet :(

@@deleriom actually took it to the shop. Was like a $600 fix.

@@deleriom it was a burnt up wiring harness.

Just to provide some give on the wire connectors to squeeze the resistor in

Put it back afterwards

Where can you purchased the resistor?

So what did you do

How did you do it? can you help?

You can find it at local electronics shops, ebay, amazon and such. It is very cheap.

Just from a local electrical parts store. Should be able to get one for less than a dollar. Try eBay if no local store

Can you tell us the exact resistor used? I'm having trouble finding a Orange Blue Orange.

@@PSNACE Any where between 25,000 to 40,000 Ohm resistor should work. I used 36K Ohm. Local electronics store or ebay.

@@chrish7255 I found a 36k 1/2 watt but they look like a smaller wire and size than the one you have. I did everything but it seems to not be working. I do get some cold at times but then back and forth with warm air blowing. Are the wires to be snug and tight so when you pull on them they don't come out? These wires are very thin and I'm wondering if they are making good contact or have a good connection. I'm not exactly sure where your wires are from the video.

No problem, but no journey's are more than 30 mins

If it freeze, just turn the ac off till it melts.
