Ford Fusion AC Not Working When Hot Outside Fix

I own a 2010 Ford fusion and have the problem that the car only blows hot air when it's hot outside. I seen on different websites that allot of you have the same issue.allot of you including me changed the evap sensor under the dash and that doesn't fix the problem.well over time I found out that every time I have my lights and fog lights on my AC will blow cold and won't turn hot so I waited for a really hot day and there it starts again blowing just hot air.turned the lights on and a few seconds later I had ice cold air constantly.fog lights had to be on too.hope this helps some of you to enjoy your car again on the hot summer days.

This is my update from almost a month ago and it WORKS GREAT EVERY TIME. This is an accidental genius discovery and it's almost as good as the world being discovered as not being flat but ROUND. Can't thank this man enough for sharing. Thank you sir.

So my boyfriend came across your video today and when he picked me up from work I noticed the lights was on and the windows were rolled up and when I stepped into the car well holy crap it was cold . I cannot believe it worked. We are so ever grateful.This is totally amazing!!! Thanks a million from San Antonio Texas where it is hotter than hell.

Dude you are lifesaver. My daughters car just started doing this and I could not find a for sure fix anywhere online until I found this video. I was about to shell God knows how much time and money to try to fix this. This needs to go viral so Ford will be forced to deal with this. Thank you sincerely!

[@ericedwards1716]

Hey, man. I stumbled up on this video yesterday evening. I had been battling this same issue with my 2012 Fusion for quite a while. I replaced the blend door actuator, and was considering replacing either the control panel or the temperature sensor. Then I tried this trick, and it really works. It really is sad that Ford won't issue a recall on this. They would have a hug backlog of vehicles to replace computers in. Words cannot express how grateful I am for this video. Keep up the good work.

[@brianteal7898]

What the heck, it worked! I have a 2011 Fusion S without fog lights. It still works with only the head lights on. You can turn on the lights before you start the engine and it will blow cold immediately. Or if your motoring down the road and turn on the lights it will start blowing cold in a few seconds. If you turn the lights off it will start blowing hot in a few seconds. Darnedest thing I’ve ever seen! Thanks!

Just bought a 2012 Ford Fusion. On the way home AC did exactly this. Went hot after about 20 mins. When I got home I found this video. This does work. Thank you!

[@KMRem]

Just stumbled across this. It worked. I'm speechless. Currently 77deg, 68% humidity. I'm going to try it tomorrow when we hit 84deg in broad daylight just to be certain. Starting the car up with the fog lights on had me running full cold, turned them off and within 1 minute it was blowing hot air. Turned them back on, turned off A/C, turned A/C back on and cycled temp knob from full cold, to full hot, to full cold and BAM full cold A/C again. Hats off to you on this find regardless of whether or not it was an accident! (2010 Ford Fusion Sport)

[@mikegallaway7945]

You, sir, are genius. Also have a 2010 Fusion and have had the car into the dealership a couple of times for this problem and they say they can't recreate it so can't do anything about it. I had researched the three likely components and was about to begin replacing them one at a time when I found your video. I turn on the fog lights when the AC begins to blow hot and bingo -- cold air. It has to be an input to the computer that goes low for some reason and is tied into the fog lamp circuit. Totally ridiculous of Ford to not remedy this. Thanks a lot for posting this.

[@tommiebroussard8193]

Thank you so much from southern Louisiana. We average over 90° and high humidity for four or five months a year. Tried this on my 2011 Ford fusion and it worked.

[@chuckbenjamin9505]

Awesome dude you rock worked for me!!! I'm in socal

[@Ciervo78]

Totally makes sense now why in morning when leaving work, AC was cold cause I kept lights on auto but the sun would be rising on commute home and auto lights would go out and so would AC. Lights on/AC on. But only when it was upper 80/90 degree weather. AC works fine below 80. Thanks so much!

[@jocirdasilva5073]

[@dglasshalfull]

I endured 2 long south Georgia summers with no air - until now! I was scheduled to drop my car at the dealer and prepared to write a huge check after regular mechanic I use couldn't figure it out. My A/C would once in a while blow cold until I got to the end of the driveway, sometimes until it would blow cold for most of a day, sometimes at night, sometimes when it was raining - temperature really didn't seem to effect it. After turning on the fog lights it is now blowing cold! I thought I would have to do this every time I got in the car but after doing this for a day or two I haven't had to do it at all - it's still blowing cold!! It's crazy but it works! Thank You!!

Works for me i bet you have the problem i have how to fix is you have to get a new panel for your car like the switches but when you go to coke go max cold then go 2 clicks up and it should work. Took mine to ford and they told me that only reason fog lights work is cause it’s low voltage and that’s why it works. When you don’t have them on they get to much voltage and some plastic piece might be broken inside of the ac switch hope this helps👍

Yep, this fellow from with the tattoo fingers is right on spot. . He's quite amazing. . This dude deserves something not just from us but from Ford also. .

Dude, is also spot on about that... I'm from the Mtns of NE Tenn and 5 yrs ago when i was recovering from back surgery i was a hair, i mean a hair, from going to blows with the Head Service Mgr (they've mechanics also) for him playing stupid for a 2nd time and literally talking down to me trying to project that stupid on me. . I told him i knew he was intentionally playing stupid about a repeated issue since Ford Hqs is obviously not wanting to admit up to it because of huge recall cost (this was right before the airbag scandal that effect a dozen makers and dozens of models each). . When his 6'5" 270lb self then wanted to continue to follow his playing stupid script is when the disrespect to another's average intelligence was way beyond too much for me to accept and even with using a walker i lost it.... I hope the fellow that did this video is doing fine... He deserves something. So, hopefully all these positive comments will be a good enough replacement....
