I've done this and gotten away with it.
You can inspect the interior lines and dryer and see if there is debris evident and go from there.
I have a new thing for me. Yes it relates to my blower but it is not just a one side issue.
A quick summary. as of last week it would work fine up to like 75 80 then blow warm sometimes .
So my mechanic suggested adding the freon equivalent stuff .. a couple of cans. it actually ended up being 3. Now the interesting thing was after starting it it now only blows hot.( i mean I can pry cook an egg. well at least keep a latte warm) It does not matter if the a/c is pressed on or not. set at 65 or at max it still blows hot. maybe some slight changes but still hot.
When I run the climate control self diagnosis it goes through all of the 25? i think steps at the end it does not show any codes just shows all 8's or illuminates the other tings on the display.
You can hear while the test is running the different flaps I assume opening and closing.
Now for the unusual. I notice there is a high pitched whistle when the A/C is turned on. you can hear the compressor I assume click on then you hear this sound. now it does get a bit louder of a whistle sound as you start to accelerate. After you turn off the climate control or a/C button it continues for awhile. OF note 2- The outside temperature seems to be set now at 82-95 degrees on average.( when the car was turned on I did try the code dianosis when the outside air was cool( 75 and the display read 82 external. the dx with the off/ foot blower at same time followed by pushing auto in 2 seconds shows the same display all 8's .. When doing it when the car was just turned on before the ingition it ran up to show the outside temp at 107.. The car other wise is running great. the thermostat for the engine shows slightly below middle where it always rests.
Is it possible when they added freon stuff that it pushed out some muck in the line that clogged the hoses? could it be just taking of the hoses and cleaning or changing them?
Open to any ideas. It was suggested it could be my display climate control panel but i do not think that is the case.( i do happen to have a back up one just in case on hand )
A/C decides to start blowing warm air, then after a few minutes, blows cool air again. Been to dealer once. Found nothing. Happened to my wife this morning as she was driving to work, except that the system just continued to blow warm air.
As luck would have it the car needs to hit the highway this weekend for a 5 hour drive to a wedding. Hate to do wit without A/C
A quite reliable ride so far except that I have no faith that the transmission will get me to 100,000 miles without a major repair. Been back to dealer 3 times for harsh shifting. All 3 times they did something with the computer software but a temporary fix at best.
Car heads into the dealer tomorrow to see if they can figure anything out with the A/C.
Thanks for any help.
My wife needs her car all week so I will try to get it into the dealership next week.
FWIW, cruised it at about 70mph + for the trip and averaged 27mpg. The car has the V6 engine.
So, the car finally went to the dealer, who replaced the heater control valve for $500. It didn’t work. Most recently: outside temp is 55, overcast. Auto climate control system set on auto, dual turned off, temp set at 72. Fan waits until car warms up (based on the temp gauge reaching the halfway mark) then kicks on, gently blowing cold air. Adjusting the temp up to 80, and the air starts to blow hard. And cold. Finally at 85 it warms up. Adjusted back down to 72 and it’s cold again. It went back to the dealer, and they bled the system. Still no fix. Same symptomology as above.
It’s going back on Monday. First a new fuel pump at 65,000 miles. Now this. Otherwise the car’s been great fun to drive, but I’m ready to relegate this to the “taking the dogs to the park” car and find a new daily driver.
I wonder sometimes if the new service department just isn't that experienced with the Lincoln LS. Whatever. As long as the car keeps running for another year.
I have a 2006 Lincoln LS, V8, 38,000 Miles. When I turn on the AC unit on, the AC unit blows hot air and when I turn it off, it still blows really hot air! It doesnt seem as if the AC doesnt kick in at all!!! Can some one please help me or give me an advise.
Thank you,
Izzie
I have a 2006 Lincoln LS, V8, 38,000 Miles. My THX sytem has some sort of static going thru my stock system. You could hear it and you could see it in the stereo screen if its on or off. I thought it was the stock Amplifier, so I disconected the power to it and you could still see it and hear it. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be or what can I do? Please advise!!
thank you,
Izzie
Thank you for the recommedation of the Heater Control Valve. I took it to the dealer so that they could do a diognostic on my lincoln and sure thing. It was the control valve heater.
thank you,
Izzie
Does anyone know how i can fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.
You need to replace the DCCV, the exact thing happen to my LS. Dont take it to the dealer, they will charge you an arm and a leg. It is easy to repair and will cost you less.
What is a 1265 code?
