Ok this is the 4th video I've seen on this topic. PEOPLE stop tearing your dash apart. Slid the dog house back and you're golden.

[@Lee-fy1bs]

Just did this... it worked! Thanks. Key tip you don't have to put it in 1st gear. Just pull the driver side off further take out the center ac vent and storage container and you have access

[@kevinh4431]

Me too!

[@robertmillan2834]

This old cat just got the confidence to do it alone. Thanks

[@mordechaiseelfreund5414]

I did it on my own just from watching your video thank you very much , my van is a E250 - 2011, god bless u

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Great to hear! Thanks and God bless you as well

[@j.s.1766]

You're a lifesaver! I only had to switch the switch out, but finished it in less than 20 minutes because of your video! Much appreciated!

[@mombux]

hoping thats my case i am scare if i have to changue the pigtail wires

[@stevec1361]

Going to do this switch panel swap tomorrow. Out of my 4 speeds all the way low and all the way high dont work. Replaced the blower resistor today and it made it blow about 20% harder but still no lo or hi. Swapped all AC relays still same result. My switch feels real wonky and worn out. So think this may fix it. But also going to replace resistor connector pigtail cause its heavily corroded. Thanks for this vid you really helped! I got a 2012 e150

[@esilva29]

Left my van at the mechanic 2 times. He couldn’t figure the problem. With this 5 minute video l got it fixed. Thank You

[@smitty_1]

@esilva29. Stop letting your neighbor do your car repairs. Find a new mechanic.

[@dmanmoto]

Thanks 2011 e250 done. It's a simple repair, just takes me maby 1hr time

[@grima4112]

my main issue was the pig tails was wired incorrectly so it made my dash board smoke up i'll be taking a look at it here in a minute. but showing the wires on where they connect was the big thing i was looking for. the guy that i had hook them up said he was a mechanic yet he hooked them up wrongly and almost caused my van to catch fire. so i'll be taking a look and im going to wath this video over and over until i have the pig tail inserted correctly. thank you for making this video it helps alot. #NoNonsenseKnowHow

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Damn, sorry to hear that. Yeah I usually take a picture of them before I take the old wires out or do them one at a time so you can't possibly risk messing it up. Good luck on getting a corrected!

[@user-sf9pq5ox7w]

thanks- very helpful. I have 2012, E150 van. this switch fits per Amazon.

[@glob6631]

Good video, very helpful. But I replaced it without taking the dash off. I took the dog house off and got at from underneath. Cut away some of the plastic molding that was blocking the screw

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Nice! Ill have to try that next time i do one of these

[@arasb3258]

Good to know!

[@tiotheberk]

Quick and informative! Perfect

[@demeathook]

Heyoo! Great vid man. Lost heat in an 03 e 250 today. Felt a crunch turning the switch. The switch and connector were both toast. Easy fix. Thank you! 🤘🏼

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Hey yo! Glad to hear the video was helpful. Thanks!

[@imthatguy1878]

Thanks man you saved me a lot of trouble

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

No prob!

Your video is very helpful, thank you sir.

Thanks for the great video man lots of help I did it on a van

No problem 👍

BIN HERE DONE THAT

[@randalmoroski1184]

Good job man thanks!

[@glengibson529]

That doesn’t look too too hard. Now I just have to try it myself. Thanks for the video.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

No it's not bad at all. Good luck with the group are, and thanks for the comment!

[@glengibson529]

I did it. Of course the Ford dealer didn’t have wire harness I also needed, so I had to stop at an auto supply store for that part. But it was as easy as it looked. Come on winter I’m ready for ya. Thanks again for the video very helpful. 👍

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@glengibson529 awesome man good to hear! Glad to help out, and thanks for the update

[@toddpeterson6108]

Thank you for the information!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

No prob!

[@HVACRBERT]

looked at my 2012 e350 this evening and by just removing the doghouse i was able to unplug the switch will look tomorrow for sure but i think i might be able to get switch out that way as well

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

HVACRBERT awesome man! Sounds like for yours that might be an easier way of doing it. Let me know how it works out

[@HVACRBERT]

still had to pop the dash panel loose but didnt have to unplug anything other than blower switch kind of a pain to lay on my back and look up at switch and kinda difficult to get screw started back in hole not sure which would be easier but removing doghouse is another option if you dont want to mess with those pesky electrical plugs, i usually break one during a repair like this. lol

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

HVACRBERT glad to hear you knocked it out. Thanks for the update!

[@clarencewiles963]

Thumbs up 👍 taking out the bad 😊

[@Weincraft]

Ty!

[@sjappliance]

I just like to add a comment about getting there, when I installed a new radio, you can drop the two bolts holding the steering column and lower it to get better access to removing that panel. Used a rubber cord to hold the column to the handhold above the door' Hope this might help

[@GeoThaDude]

Decently easy fix. I just hate that manufacturers don't want you changing parts on your own so they make the wires super short, adding extra time to repair, hoping you'll just take it to the dealer and have them charge you insane rates for labor. And that damn auxiliary power outlet in the center has to be the biggest pain in the ass connector to remove!!! That's the only connector I was able to remove with relative ease.

[@yusieldiaz7092]

Could you help me i have a 2010 with out light in the dash swith when turn on the car light, do you have any idea please

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Sorry I don't think I would be of much help without seeing the vehicle

[@jamesinscoe9267]

sounds to me in the beginning of the video , even he thought it was going to be easier than it ended up being, not sure why they don't leave more wire to allow you to pull it out further.

[@agee7777]

because its not designed to be fixed.

[@arasb3258]

I wonder at this point in that trucks journey, would it not make more sense to just cut the plastic around that switch? Who cares if it looks bad, just get it to work cheaply and easily!

[@watchingyourvideo8029]

@@arasb3258 that’s a horrible lazy short cut. Please don’t work on cars.

[@muzic4lyfe2005]

How do you know if you need to replace the switch or the blower fan?

[@shielduniversity419]

Any videos on replacing round dash vent plz help

[@interstategar]

Too bad it wasn't shown the disconnection if the 12v power point connections. I'm trying to disconnect the 12v power plug and there's no room to even get to it. I haven't seen 1 video of the removal if this plug.

[@Penguin545]

Make sure you have the parking brake on and ideally chock your wheels - I put my parking brake on, but it was completely worn out and after a minute, my van rolled into my other car in the driveway and put a big fucking dent in my tailgate😤

VERY helpful thnx

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Glad to help out and I appreciate the feedback!

[@rodwoods317]

Hello, I have a 2011 e250.. No heat, no matter which way I turn the temp control the AC stays on. Confirmed by compressor and lines freezing. Would the blend door be the problem? I can't locate it to manually turn it

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Sounds like you could have a faulty control head for the AC or maybe even a stuck closed AC compressor clutch relay. Or bad compressor clutch. Could be several things

[@rodwoods317]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow thanks, there is just one blend door right? Both heater hoses are hot, if I manually turned the blend door would that turn ac off/heat on? Or unhook ac relay and see if heat is blowing?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@rodwoods317 if the AC compressor will not stop running on regular vent then that problems should be addressed. But even with the AC compressor running, it should still blow hot so it sounds like yes you might have a problem with the blend door. There are three doors. Recirculation door, vent setting door, and hot cold door. At least they're usually is 3.

[@djmc1983]

Hi I was wondering if you can help me out. I purchased a climate control for my 2003 E-250 because the fan speed switch no longer was operational. The damn thing melted. My problem is after connecting the wires the orange wire got so hot it melted the wire nut. Can you please confirm the 4-wire sequence? Black to black. Orange with black strip to Orange with Black stripe. Red with orange stripe from van to yellow with red stripe on switch. And finally light blue with orange stripe on van to Green and white stripe on switch. I’m guessing I got it wrong. Can you help me out please? Thanks in advance...Nick

[@snoopy5736]

My button melted too, after I replaced it it still gets hot. I have to turn it off once in a while. I wonder why its getting hot.

[@stephendouglas4545]

Question: 2014 E250...when I put it in reverse the "R" light on the dash lights up only intermittently and the reverse lights on the vehicle do not come on. Thank you.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Sounds like the transmission range switch needs adjustment or the shift cable needs adjustment

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

That would be my first thought anyway. Let me know how you make out

[@stephendouglas4545]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow : Do you know exactly where that range switch is, or isn't?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@stephendouglas4545 sorry no I don't off hand. They're usually located on the side of the transmission. But I wouldn't know without researching or looking at it. I work on all makes and models so I'm not too incredibly familiar with any single vehicle

[@user-km3jc5im9u]

Good onr

[@benjaminwilliams5740]

Need a little help , the new connectors has different colors. What color goes with what color?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

The best thing to do is cut them one at a time from your old connector and put them in the same location on the new connector. Not worrying about if the colors match or not. Just make sure they each go in the same location on the new connector as the old one. or take a pic first before cutting olf pigtail off

[@garysteffan4935]

throw this at you why does my High fan speed burn out first and all the other videos have the high stay on ? I must of replaced this switch 10 times

[@paulruiz4778]

My ford only blows cold through the defrost vents do you think is sana problem

[@Penguin545]

No-this repair will only address a lack of the blower motor sending air through the vents. If you cannot change modes from defrost to floor to mix, etc., then you likely have a vacuum leak, as the blend air door and controlled by vacuum and default/failure position will be defrost and cold.

[@vincentbrown8661]

I have A2010 Econline its not my blower don’t blo it blo some time s

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Have you checked the switch?

[@vincentbrown8661]

Don’t think it’s the switch because when I raise the hood and tap the fan it come on

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@vincentbrown8661 sounds like the fan motor has a dead spot or you have a melted connector on the fan or blower resistor. Let me know what you find out

[@mikes.1882]

Looks like the elect. Connection on the blower goes bad too. The prong will be loose. That's why tapping will make it work or why it can be intermittent

[@Phil-xn3cf]

well seems everyone here has a blöw hard problem !!!!
