2013 FFH no heat on drivers feet.

Over the last month I noticed there is no heat on my feet.

 

No problem with the passenger side feet.

 

I assume it's a actuator.

Wonder if there is any self test diag mode for the Climate Control?

 

I'm very accustomed to Chrysler's version. Never heard of any Ford version.

Any one know of it?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

A long time update:

 

I've figured out some of the problem with the lack of heat on the drivers floor.

It's not an electronic problem and there is heat.

 

Ford uses a thin air handling tube to carry down the floor heat.

Its best described by this measuring spoon.

This is behind the driver side - center console cover. By the accelerator pedal.

As the air runs down the tube , Ford hopes it magically turns left exit the side vent and warm your feet.

It ain't happening. There is a big gap to the vent cover.

Its just heating the center console and rug.

 

I cut a piece of 3/4" pipe insulation attached it to the side console cover and have redirected the warm air out of the center console.

I attached it to the console side vent grill and slipped the other side of the tube over the spoon shaped side.

My fix isn't very pretty, And I'm looking to improve it . Its very leaky still.

But I am finally getting a little warm air by my feet.

 

 

Hope this helps others.

After 3 winters, I came across a new conclusion on my lack of feet heat.

The Driver side actuator was kaput. Worse than before.

 

Someone on youtube pointed out a reset for the actuators.  Press the Climate control power button and the defrost at the same time.  NOT on screen.

Fusion starts up and heat vents opened slightly for me. After short time it reverted. At least I got some warmth.

Did this a few dozen times and decided to replace the Driver actuator for heat.

 

A bear of a job, If you attempt this fix.

Full day to remove 3 screws & plug. And replace.

1/4" flex shaft 12'' extension and a right angle 1/4" drive with phillips bits. Added to the 1/4 inch drive kit I have.

I recommend a very short philips screwdriver, under 2 inch total. Cut off most the handle if needed.

Removed the panel below the steering column and little fan harness.

Problem is the brake pedal assembly is 2 inches away.  So a lot of reaching and an feet up position was needed.  Shoulder cushion was helpful.

Actuator setting was suppose to be resting at 45 degree on the removed unit. Mine was 220 degrees.

To get the angle correct, I tore apart the removed actuator and used the gear as a knob. Rotated the blower door to match the 45 degree angle on the actuator.

New one went in OK with the exception of the top screw.  Used crazy glue to attach screw to the flexi driver philips head. Then fed it to its home.

Inserted over the steering column. And cursed for quite some time till installed. Sorry, No video. Tight wiring to the top screw makes it extra fun.

Run the reset mentioned above  on the new actuator.
 

So far, This looks like a good fix. Knuckles are healing.
