I can rotate the heating mode from vent to floor, but it just stops dead there, like it's jammed or something, cannot get it to rotate into defrost. if I keep pushing it just clicks and skips in a most unsavory manner. Very scary driving with no defrost here in extremely Northern Vermont. |

I don’t know anything about first gens. Maybe someone with real info will post up. Something similar happens with our 2006 Focus. Its controls are cable driven. Think of a bicycle hand brake. There are 2 cables and 2 blend doors. One for defrost and one for the rest. One of a few things happen. Either the cable stretches and breaks, the ball slips out of the socket, or the blend door itself is damaged. The cables on the Focus are pretty easy to change. The heater core, not so much. The last one is the case with the Focus. Unfortunately the fix for it is a new heater core. |

You have to pull center dash cover off, then remove temp control module carefully, cables are still held onto this piece by way of baby H clips. You will need needle nose or needle nose vise grips and a friend to lend a hand. Need to re-adjust cable as Murphy said it probably either slipped out of the black sleeve or the H clip has ate out the sleeve or slipped off. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |
