I have the same problem. I went to more than one maintenance store, and everyone told me the problem was from the car's computer, but after I saw the video, I worked like what I said and I was able to solve it with the same explanation, and now the air conditioner works perfectly, thank you.
Hardest part was buying the resistor 1/4 Watt 33k-ohm resister, just stuffed the two wires into the correct pins, a bit of hot glue to hold them in place, A/C worked like a charm - $1 part saves me $1000 repair.
Did this and it worked perfectly. I had to disconnect the battery. When the battery was reconnected, the key was in the on position and the A/C was on with the resistor still in place. Something must have blown because the hack no longer works and the mode actuator doesn't switch from vent to def or floor. I tried doing the fix again nothing. I put the wiring back to original nothing. Checked fuses and relays. Help!
We have the exact same problem with our 2011 Fusion. Passenger AB recall fix in April 2019, then, AC goes bad in June 2019. Bring it in: needs new hoses and a charge: $500. Still doesn't work right. Now they want $800 to fix the sensor that they broke on the AB fix. Is there a class action on this yet?
So would a 22k resistor work better and not freeze up the evap like the 33k? Just wondering because my 33k froze up in like 10 mins and felt like the engine dragged with this resistor on.
So I did this. And it lasted 2 months. Then it started to Freeze up and NOT work! FYI. This is NOT a permanent fix. But thx anyways

Why not cut them wires and reroute the wires and drill a hole in air box and put a new temp sensor there. It would work properly
Thanks for posting man, I did the same with my Ford Fusion 2012 V6. It had the same wiring order. 2nd and 4th... it works great now 👍👍
I could not see where you put the resistor to bypass the sensor

was that a 1/2 ohm or 1 ohm resistor?
Humidity Sensor location?
Saved me big time money and I appreciate it so much. Absolutely works and completely amazed. THANK YOU!
Thanks my friend for posting! My 33 olm resisters will be delivered tomorrow.
You just saved me $800, thank you so much
Thank you so much! It worked, and saved me a ton of money.
Im going to give this a shot! Ive have spent too much time and money on this issue. Where's a RadioShack when you need one?!😆

Trying this on my daughters 2007 fusion and the blue/gray and brown/violet 2/4 stop the vents from switching?
great great video
Lucky you got that long. My 2014 has already stopped working. Eff you, Ford. My 04 Mustang's AC is still working perfect.
Dear, what if I put a 10k resistor instead of the sensor? My Hyundai is a compressor without a clutch. is there a problem
