It was the crip!?
Wow...
I watched multiple videos of which never mentioned the low/high fan fuse. Almost bought a $200 blower fan minutes before watching this. Swapped relays and good to go.
Taking wife to dinner thanks.
This is the perfect example of a master mechanic! 😎👍👍👋🤙
A master mechanic who can explain repairs in a way nearly anyone can understand. If he were local to me I'd quit doing my own work and trust my truck to him!
And this is the difference between a real mechanic and someone like me that tries to fix issues themselves.
I agree 100 percent
Agree but still I encourage to fix my own stuff up to certain level
Not everyone can afford 3000 for labor
Lol right.. change something yourself suddenly it all is messed up lol every time..
You are the absolute best. I had a "nightmare" truck with almost every issue possible and you've covered every single one. Saved me countless thousands in repairs, down time and headaches. People like you are what make UA-cam and really the connected internet era so powerful.
So glad you show even the simplest repair. Sometimes it is just a connection issue. Thank you for the video.
if it has been to a Ford dealership lately... good chance it's unplugged or the wires ripped out! Just lile the alternator on my recent $12,500 engine replacement job.... first class work! They even asked if I wanted to pay extra for them to troubleshoot the alternator issue!! First class punks!
Your awesome I wish there where more techs like yourself. Keep up the videos thank you
Great video. Thank you. Your logical approach coupled with your great teaching is a win win for all your viewers.
These videos are spot-on for me right now, as I'm having a/c issues on my 2011 CVPI. Appreciate it.
Drove two months in Arizona during summer thinking my compressor went out. This was the fix thankfully. You're the man!
Hopefully everyone appreciates you sharing your time and effort to create these presentations, as simple as the subject may ( or not ) be, I really look forward to watching your diagnostic conclusions, even though I'm not a Ford guy, I still appreciate your skills and effort, I still can't believe in this day and age that technicians are still cramming oversized test leads or objects into harness connections? Remember, if the pin don't fit, you must Quit! Sorry, goofy but true
Excellent Diagnosis and Repair, ty Sir your ability is way above and beyond the rest.
Great diagnostic work, Brian. Too bad that more techs aren't as sharp as you. Keep up the great work.
I love your videos. It's so refreshing to watch an HONEST mechanic who knows what he's doing. It's obvious whomever replaced the compressor clutch not only didn't see any of your vids, they didn't use real Motorcraft parts. Thank you for helping me keep my 2011 F-150 on the road. I love the shot of your dogs!
You and Eric O are 2 of the best in your field
Thanks for making videos! Fixed my 04 f150 stx from your videos! Fix my broken OD snap ring and valve body problems. 👍👍👍👍👍 update! Sold 04 and now got a 2014 f150 XLT 5.0L hopefully a better truck! 04 Frame rusted in half !
Man excellent video, troubleshooting skills coupled with system knowledge on display yet again on the FTM channel. Thanks!!
I really like the method. On non Fords we can use a scan tool to activate the compressor. I like your trusty window motor. I remember that one from the old old days. Back when u used to use your little Bosch for almost everything. I have a little old SnapOn someone gave me for the quick light stuff. The trigger is forward and reverse. It’s small and really light. Everything else is the Milwaukee ratchets. I use four of them. The extended one is super powerful and it gets everywhere.
This was some amazing advice, love your content and the ways you go about diagnosing these issues!
Inspiring, Brian. Thanks for taking the time. Excellent troubleshooting!
FTM is more logical, precise and thorough than a computer.
And actual Ford dealerships
We might be related?
@@advorsky1 Yes, maybe. We should make contact.
Aaahhh dogs aren’t envious of you having an awesome job and a great UA-cam presence. So why you envious of them just plain old chill’n??
Lol, thanks for walking through an ac trouble shoot and fix. Your always so explicit and thorough!
Great explanations. Can't beat experience.
As a former fleet mechanic, those connector pin "adapters" definitely earn their place in the toolbox.
I actually bought an complete A/c compressor Kit from a guy that sells everything compressor related parts and completely tore down the compressor and rebuilt with new seals and bearings. It was surprisingly easy to do. 9 years past and still running strong and cold.
Awesome! Enjoyed watching you deduce the problem.
Another reason why we should all bring our fords to someone that knows what they’re doing like you, great info as usual. Thanks!
Great vid Brian. Very thorough and great explanation. Thanks for sharing.
True mechanic, with hands like that.
Brian, AWESOME INFORMATION AS ALWAYS THANKS FOR SHARNG BROTHER.
a little warm... It literally was 112 Degrees over here lol. Great video like usual.
Thanks for all your in depth content
Run into this all the time on U-Haul trucks, usually have to give the male terminal end a slight twist if I don't have the right connector in stock, works almost every time. This is also why I keep a good selection of sewing needles for diagnostic purposes. Great job & great video🍻
That compressor isn't long for this world, sounded like 💩
Helluva job man thanks for the knowledge
Great vid. I am so guilty of forcing a DVM probe into electrical fittings.... Won't do that anymore.... Thanks for the juicy information!!!
I'm having this same problem with my 2017 sierra. It would be great if it was a simple electrical issue but knowing my luck it isn't. Thanks for the video man 🤘🤙
Thanks for the great info Master tech, really helps. We have to se more vid with the dogs helping in the shop ✌🏼
Always waiting for this kind of videos. 👍👍👍👍👍
I loved this one!, nice job!
Unfortunately most mechanics these days only rely and the computer to tell them what's wrong they don't use their brain like you do. thanks for the video get some A/C in that shop!
This is literally the dumbest comment on here. The “computer” doesn’t ever tell you exactly what’s wrong… This is the now common thought process of customers because of the free code reads lube shops and auto zones do. Gtfo.
Back in the old days eec 3 eec 4 we had the wiggle test probably would have found it that way too been retired for 10 years now but good and informative video !
That’s bada$$!!! Did something similar with an a/c blower motor connected directly to the battery to verify property operation.
You are one smart cookie! Thanks very much.
I like how you explain this problem thanks 😊
Another great educational video, thanks!
All man.....I've done so many a/c jobs in the last month🥶Summer is definitely here😉
Just awesome! Thanks for all your vids.
Excellent diagnosis.
Great diag video! I would only add that I have found at least as many compressor side pigtails to be faulty. Apparently the aftermarket compressor pin retainers in their pigtails are defective and the pin pushes right out when connected with the vehicle harness. Keep it up sir!
I can now definitely understand why Ford's parts site has so many different pigtails.
Great video keep them coming
great video, I can't believe the last tech couldn't figure out that they mangled the plug when they clearly forced a tester into it
You go through pretty much the same steps I do. I do hate going in after someone else gave up on a repair.
You are awesome, thank you for the knowledge.
Awesome video my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Love ac diagnosis videos
Very good advice , that problem would have been easy to overlook !
Fantastic diagnostics👍
Was working on an 05 Tribute 3.0 today. AC was charged, fuse, plugs, controls, pressure switches were all good. Concluded the PCM was bad.
excellent Diagnosis
Great explanation 👍
That was an awesome video!! Thank you!
You are a Ford professor 👍🏻
Great job, Thanks.
You did a great job as usual. However other shops integrity will be the issue thats needs repair lol. They gonna say something expensive needs to be done like full freon flush n recharge but just for what u did..so hard to find trustworthy shops today..
awwwww luv me some boxers !!! great vid..about to have my 08 F150 AC revamped ....I tried to replace the compressor but made a mess of it...now its time to pay the piper...Im really dreading all my expensive stereo gear being jacked so its all going to come out..I did find someone local with 5 star review and pricing / hourly seems to be straightforward...
ScannerDanner: 👏🏻👍🏻 Brian!!
wow, this is an excellent video!
Excellent video
Awesome videos thank you
Wow your soooo knowledgeable!!!! I bet that rubber piece may went bad.
Excellent!! Thanks
Great video well done bro
Great video!
Thats an awesome tutorial on how to fix something that was not really broken just someone was not quite up to speed on checking with the test light lol ...could u tell me were my hvac module get its power from its on a 05 f350 king ranch thks ..luv the content keep up the good work..
Presently going through this on my 2004 Ford Taurus...
God job my friend 👍
Rubber doughnut on AC clutch was my issue. Love your videos 👍
So, what did you have to do?
@@Jeff_Pendleton replace the AC clutch or the compressor with clutch assembly. Clutch is easier for DIY because you don't need to worry about refrigerant.
@@markwheeland3329 did you just replace the ac clutch assembly/pulley and bearing assembly
@@aaronq.6033 I replaced the entire compressor with a new one from Ford.
Typically, but not always, if the rubber donut goes the compressor is on its way out & is creating so much drag that it eventually shears the rubber in two. If your compressor was loud/rattly before it happened, do yourself a favor & change it.
NICE PUPS!
Thank you
I have used the light bulb trick many times A 921 sits in there well
Way to go! How about a fix for leaking AC hoses on a 2004 5.4l supercrew removal and install new AC lines. Really need your help on this one. You've help me a lot to maintain my beloved 04 lariat which now has 247,900 thx a bunch to ya Hoping your kindly consideration. 🙏
Another Great Video... yep to large probes spreads connectors. sad the bad tech is so foolish and it came back on him... so glad you found the real problem...
Great video! Where is the low pressure switch located? I know this should be a 2 pin switch, I cannot seem to find it on mine anywhere.
Cool video. 😉
Thank you. Do you have any recommendations for a 2013 F150 that has intermittent hot/cold air when AC engaged? Thank you.
Thanks for the videos. Question: 2010 F150 FX4 5.4L V8 w/ automatic climate control. A/C stopped working a couple of years ago. Finally got it diagnosed and needed a new compressor. New compressor has been installed, system charged to 58, new A/C pressure transducer, relays are good, fuses are good, put in a new blower motor resistor today, climate control cluster is functioning properly, had a second mechanic check PCM and control would send signal to turn on clutch, but it went from ON to immediately OFF. I brought it home and ran the Key On Engine Off test and clutch engaged just fine. Used Forscan to run the HVAC test and no faults. No HVAC DTC faults either.
Wondering if you have any suggestions on my issue (other than "give and up and sweat out the Texas Summer, buddy"). I did pull get the ProDemand schematic for my VIN number and page 2 of 3 shows the Instrument Cluster on MS CAN 10 and 9 on Computer Data Lines running to the PCM HS CAN - 43 and HS CAN + 59
(If you read this entire thing, thank you already for your time)
Had a 2010 stop in today same issue gonna more indepth when he stops back later this week the I check this video out I couldn't find the the dryer on the truck.
Thanks
My fiancé has a 2017 F150 and while we were coming back from vacation, the AC quit. I had her pull over at a rest stop and discovered that the rubber part of the clutch had basically disintegrated leaving rubber flung all over everything. Truck had less than 33,000 miles on it and of coarse was out of warranty due to it being four years old.
This truck has the newer 1234yf refrigerant and none of the local shops were equipped to service vehicles with this new stuff so we had to take it to the dealer to get repaired. Just replacing the clutch was going to cost almost as much as just replacing the whole compressor so she had the compressor replaced. $1,100 later she has working AC again. We tried to get them to fix it under a good will warranty but no dice. Needless to say my fiancé who is a life long Ford owner was not impressed. Her last truck was a 1 ton 2003 Ford Super Duty that she bought new and it still had all of the original AC equipment and had never been recharged in the 14 years she owned it and it still blew cold air.
Great Video.
After the blower motor wearing out caused the blower switch , resistor and pigtails failed on my friends 2010 E250, 5.4. I pointed out he could install a heavy duty switch to the ground side of the fan to bypass the fan switch and resistor and now on the hottest days in so cal inland empire the A/C blows even harder do to reduced voltage drop and it still goes off with the key do to the blower relay.
cool tip
Hi there I have a Ford-150 everything is running very well. It’s only when I come to a complete. The oil gauge goes very low to nothing and AC will stop, but you could hear that something turns back on when you’re about to step on the seller raider
I got a 2014 F150 I am working on now and it came to me with a low charge. Previous diagnosis by the dealership said he needed a new A/C Condenser. After recovering the refrigerant and pumping it down and adding tracer dye and oil it held good vacuum for about 20 minutes. I charged by weight at 1.5 lbs and it was blowing cold at 48 degrees with an outside temperature of 90 with high humidity in Tampa. I also replaced the blower motor at the customers request because he feels the air does not blow hard enough. My first question is since it came from another repair facility and was low on refrigerant is if there was a refrigerant leak with this system from your experience where do I sniff it out at with my electronic sniffer and if there is an airflow issue where do I look. Another question is does this vehicle have a cabin air filter? Thank you and always a follower of your great videos. Thank you Richards Auto and Air
I'm an electrician, good job, but on sell tes, 🚫 matter if is after making, all way id 3 resistors, so, I like how you did
Thanks. Do you have a video that subjects the Forscan?
I don't have anything nice to say about people who "try" to diagnose but then create more problems from bad practices like jamming a test light into something.
Nice!!
Awesome video Brian. I have an issue with an 05 FX4 150. Had it at the garage this week and he couldn't figure it out. My CEL came on back in December and had it checked out. Said it was something with my a/c. Cleared the code to get the CEL light to go out but now have no a/c. Have no idea what the code was or where to begin. Going to test the diode and relay tomorrow, but all fuses are good. (Pulled them out and checked) The fellow this week told me he couldn't get power to the compressor plug and said it could be the PCM. Still has original compressor on it and figured that's what it was. Any ideas please?
Thank u in advance
You could apply 12v to the clutch coil. Or see if it’s getting power at the connector
Yous da man
