- The AC broke again in my 2010 ford fusion. Came to find out that it was my HVAC control module had failed and wouldn't blow cold air for very long at all. Will work on Ford Fusion from 2006-2012 and other cars.

Before doing this, I pulled the fuse for the climate control to reset the system on my Ford Fusion 2012. The fuse box is located under the driverside dash left of the brake pedal. It was fuse #15. I pulled it, waited 5 minutes, put it back in and the AC seems to be working correctly now. I read that sometimes the blender door actuators can get off and/or there is a glitch in the climate control module and this may reset/recalibrate them. Could also try unplugging/replugging the couplers behind the glovebox. Pretty easy steps before tearing into the dash.
@Lance Johnson I had to come back and find this video to tell you thank you. I did what you said for my 2011 and it's back working now. Thanks!
@@Bballlady89 too many possibilities for AC issues on the a Fusions, so I started with the fastest and cheapest. I've been trying all these. There is also the weird headlight fix for the AC. I think my issue is now just a slow AC leak.
@@lancejohnson108 I tried the headlight thing too, but it worked for about 5 seconds and went back off
Oh my god. Thank you so much. I’m traveling. Ac decided to stop working. I was freaking out. I bought a can of Freon. Added it. No change. I found this video. Then looked at the comments. Tried your trick. Only did the fuse AND IT WORKED! Not only that, but it’s colder than it’s ever been. I guess the Freon was a little low. You are a life saver.

Headlight fixed for the AC? I have a 2007 Ford Fusion. My AC is not blowing at all but at the same time that's happened my passenger headlight bulb was blown out.
It was well worth my time to watch your tutorial. Thanks dude. Much appreciated.
Replaced the HVAC module as described in your video. Working so far. Thanks so much for the instructions. If it goes back, we can always try the lights trick people are describing below
Hello before replace the control system did the lights work on the old panel as if it was working perfectly or did it not function at all?
Min hvac system lights come on and switch to all modes. I’m wondering should I still swap it out?
@@MrJayclas no, our lights were working normally
Great Video! It solved my problem of the A/C changing from Cold to Hot about 15 seconds after starting my 2010 Fusion. The one item missing from your instructions is the safety strap that is attached just below the Hazard Lights switch on the storage compartment on top of the dash. I couldn't figure out why the compartment wouldn't pull away from the dash/air vents. I came up from under the Hazards switch and cut the strap. Apparently, the strap is there to prevent the plastic compartment from dislodging during airbag deployment.
I replaced the HVAC Module. $225 at AutoZone - Dorman A/C Selector Mode Switch 599-228. Problem Solved!
The other common causes of the A/C acting this way is;
1) Blend Door stuck. Test this by turning battery power on, but do NOT start the car. Turn on the HVAC power (push the button). Slowly turn the Temp Control knob from Cold to Hot. If the Blend Door is working, you will hear it (humming) as it moves. The sound comes from under the dash, above the gas pedal.
2) A/C Evaporator Temp Probe Sensor. This is the worse one to fix because the entire dash must be removed to replace the $20 part. There is a quick easy workaround by installing a resistor wire between two wires that are going into a multi-plug behind the glove compartment door.

Mines doing the same thing on 2012 Fusion 2.5. If I turn the headlights on then start the car the ac will run forever. As soon as I turn the headlights off it’ll blow hot air. I turn the temp control knob from hot to cold slowly one notch at a time and it’ll go from hot to cold but after 10 seconds it’ll go back to blowing hot air again. I’m guessing this HVAC panel he replaced in this video will fix my same problem? Thanks guys
I replaced my Evap control sensor today, still did not fix the problem. Everything is working perfect, the compressor just won't come on. I'm going to try this next, any suggestions?
2006 to 2012 Ford Fusion and the Air blows cold for just a few seconds and then turns to heat, click the temperature control nob two clicks to the right off the coldest setting and start the car/AC. Some folks have said that turning on the headlights and fog lights on also works. I haven't tried it yet because it is 90 degrees here and I'm leaving my AC on and don't want to mess with anything until fall.
Apparently, there is some service notification about the computer related to all the vehicle cabin functions and controls that is causing this.
Went through the same troubles and steps as you did. Thanks for posting this.
How did you know it was this and not the evap temp sensor that’s behind the dashboard? Did this finally fix the problem for good? Thanks for your help
Typically a bad evap temp sensor throws a check engine code
105,000 miles says recharge your mvac.
Yayyy thank u I’m gonna try it I took it to the mechanic and he said everything else was good so I’ll try
Before any of you go buying parts. Follow this video and just unattatch the ac module and reattach it and see if the module has been reset and is working again. Thats literally all i did guys and it works... actually better than before.
Its a little computer of its own which is why i think this method works.
Do you mean the unplug the dash controller or unplug the module behind the glovebox?
I see for some fusion models you can reset the ac unit with the buttons (power button + defrost, then
power button). Also could you just pull the fuse to reset the ac controller instead of taking apart?
@@lancejohnson108 unplug the module behind the glove box. The 3 main wire clips
@@lancejohnson108 not sure about the fuses. Give it a shot
@@thriftygames3219 just for clarification, do you mean to just drop down the glovebox to unplug the connectors or do you mean to still take the middle console (HVAC unit) apart? Thanks in advance.
Hi my 2010 ford fusion's A/C, heat, and passenger seat heater suddenly stopped working. The light for the seat heater will come on & immediately shut off, whereas my driver seat's heat turns on without a problem. Do you think this is a fuse or something else?
Try turning the lights on and fog lights see if it starts working
Worked for mine! Any clue Why the ac does not work unless my headlights are on??
Its so weird.
@@kristtie it tricks the sunload sensor which thinks it nighttime which in turn tricks the temp sensor which is a very expensive job to fix
Bobby U would this issue cause the AC to work intermittently? Compressor and refrigerant are good, AC goes hot/cold randomly.
@@jelam2486 yes a good scan tool can read evaporator temp sensor output to be sure replacing the sensor the right way is expensive whole dash has to come out the way around it is wires going to it are accessible at bulkhead behind glove box you can splice sensor into them and leave it in glove box problem is you have to shut of a/c every 40 minutes or so to prevent evaporator freeze up because that's what the sensor does
I've got an '07 Ford Fusion and the entire HVAC system is out - no heat, no air, no defrost. I'm in TN in the dead of summer, and it sucks so much.
Get it fixed
Same, everything turns on, but nothing works or blows anything. Have no ideas. Happened all of a sudden
I replaced the HVAC control on mine but it still blows hot air. When i start it cold air comes out of the defrost for about 5 seconds then it switches to vent and hot air. I replaced the actuator and while with my finger on the actuator I could feel it go from wide open cold to wide open hot before I even turned the climate control on!!. Any thoughts?
So I got a 2010 fusion no Ac but the heat works They say its my compressor but its not squealing it spins freely its not locked up.. Should I just go with a new compressor or what should I do guys please help..
Mine ended up being the evaporator temp sensor, which tends to go bad on Fusion. The dealership said the sensor was reading -35 degrees and kept the compressor from turning on to prevent freezing it up. The bad part is that the dash needs to be removed and is very costly. Ended up doing the job myself and the sensor was $30 motorcraft brand. Did not want to use aftermarket parts for something that require so much work to replace.
Can I ask what year yours is?
My daughter has a 2013 and from what I've been reading online the evap sensor is normally a 2008-2012 issue.
Haven't found it mentioned on 2013 plus years.
Thanks
@@thomaslehmann5981 mine is a 2012. What is happening with yours?
@@idanny76 It's blowing hot so don't really know yet. Trying not to get bent over because 2 mechanics have told me that the evap sensor is almost always the problem but I'm just not hearing it mentioned at all on the 2013 and later fusions. They may have worked on all 2008 to 2012 on which it is a very common problem.
Hoping it's not that. Ford dealer said $1200 if dash has to come out.
Damn
@@thomaslehmann5981 Did the dealership do a diagnosis? That's how I found the problem and it only cost me $85 for the diagnosis. Have you tried checking the fuses, swap ac clutch relay and tried bypassing the clutch relay to see if the clutch engages? Could be many things.... But a dealership diagnosis would save you time diagnosing. There a detail video on the removal of the dashboard here on RUclips if you wanted to try it. But I would do a dealership diagnosis to pin point the problem and then decide if you want to try fixing it your self.
Do not take it to any place for diagnosis, but only a Ford dealership. I took mine to PepBoys and they said I needed a whole new AC system. I was also quoted $1,200 at the dealership and also at pepboys. Luckily I did not take PepBoys diagnosis and took it straight from there to the dealership.
@@thomaslehmann5981 Here is the link for the Ford Forum I was getting help from diagnosis the problem. You can read the process I took and links to other RUclips videos on this matter. You can actually do a hack to the evap sensor wiring right behind the glove compartment to override the sensor and get the AC working. I decided to do it the hard way, but I could have done the sensor wiring hack with a new sensor or some use a resistor for the hack.
Check my thread on the forum and watch the linked videos I posted there. It has the links for the hack videos as well as the dashboard removal process. Just remember you have a 2013, but the wiring might be the same.

Did you swap out the button?
My control is not clicking on and off i changed the compressor and the fuses its blows but hot air could this be the problem
Mines doing the same thing on 2012 Fusion 2.5. If I turn the headlights on then start the car the ac will run forever. As soon as I turn the headlights off it’ll blow hot air. I turn the temp control knob from hot to cold slowly one notch at a time and it’ll go from hot to cold but after 10 seconds it’ll go back to blowing hot air again. I’m guessing this HVAC panel you replaced in this video will fix my same problem? Thanks guys
My 2010 fusion is doing the same thing. So glad I seen this honestly bc I drive with my headlights on at all times but I was just sitting n my car at work without the headlights on and it wouldn't work but then I turned my headlights on an bam I got Cold Ac lol soon as i turn the lights off straight to heat. Makes no sense does it...if u figure it out please post I'd love to know.
Same exact problem. only works when the headlights are on
Did replacing the panel fix yours?
The A/C control lights on the console are on but the fan isn't working. How would I trouble shoot this?
Did u find out what it was
Fixed??
Did that fix your problem plz answer?
I'd like to know if it fix it too? I have changed the temp sensor behind the dash, serviced the AC, tested the vent doors, I cannot find anything else wrong with the AC. It will work one day and the next time you get in it blows hot air. Ford itself hasn't figured this faulty system they made! It's frustrating to say the least!
I’m not Godzilla! My a/c button is worn. But I’m not doing anything to Jack it up! Don’t assume.
Question ,after you replaced the blend door actuator. Did it blow cold then would the heater come on again ? Is that when you replaced the Hvac controller? My ac works at times for 10 minutes then starts blowing hot. Then other times blows cold only seconds before the heater comes on again. And I just replaced the blend door actuator and it's still doing it. I have a 2011 ford fusion 2.5 liter. SE MODEL. Wonder if it's my Hvac also
I replaced my blend door actuator, and experienced the same issue you did. I then replaced the climate control module. It works for longer, but still does the same thing. However, now when it happens and I turn the knob to hot, give it 10 or 15 seconds and turn it back to cold, it works fine. Sometimes hours/days. Other times 10 minutes.
@@phillipsynenberg7317 yes I was told also to try turning the temperature knob all the way to hot for about 10 seconds or so then turning it back to Cole in clockwise one notch up do for 2 days straight been blowing cold so probably is the HVAC controller that needs to be replaced..also Someone said pull the headlight knob for the fog lights out and it will stay blowing cold . And alot of comments said it actually works. Will try that if it blows hot again. Just a temp fix until I can replace the Hvac controller with a new one. The dealer wants $370.. so many Ford Fusions with the same issue then understand why they never put on a recall for it
@@cookiemonster3979 I replaced the climate control module. Had the same issue. I've heard the same about the headlight switch, but changing to hot air and back has worked for me this far.
@@phillipsynenberg7317 thank you so much for your replies.yes for me too going on two days with the ac blowing cold and no hot air after trying that temp fix too. Thanks again
cookie Monster my 2012 ac is acting up. Goes from hot to cold. Had the blend door actuator replaced and next day blowing hot. Was told it is probably the control head. I’m hesitant to pay more money if it’s not going to solve the problem.
My 06 fusion just stopped today no air coming out wats so ever ???? Help
My 2011 just stopped blowing air yesterday. Today when I started my car the ac was blowing and working. After I shut the air off it wouldn't turn back on.
