AC stops blowing out Dash vents, defrost only, Fix for about 10$ Ford Econoline e250 - Project Van
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 ноя 2017
- After installing a new blower fan motor the ac would only come out the defrost vents. The factory vacuum check valve is very hard to get to. So i bypassed it. Now it is working like it should and ac comes out the dash vents. I do not have a vacuum reservoir installed i will have to see if i will need to add it later.

For those complaining that there is no voice over commentary, it's not needed. Everything you need to do is very well shown in this video.
If the visuals alone can't help you do the job, you shouldn't be working on a vehicle.
This is exactly what I needed to fix the AC vents in my 2014 E450, thank you Zuntic.
Glad to have helped.
It's stupid. Necessary you're not you're making a video that's supposed to be educational except he is secluding a group of people those who do not do this for a living or understand this kind of stuff very well. I myself have a mental illness and I don't do this kind of shit very well because I can't remember shit at all so yeah voice is kind of necessary if you're doing an instructional video on how to fix a vehicle whatever you doing in fact on any kind of video that's instructional you should be using your voice we have these senses for a reason. The only thing that I can hear actually is him saying "look at me I'm on RUclips"
He exactly 💯% correct
Well those of us who can do these simple procedures but who are new to car repair would benefit from voice over. But i am appreciative as watching it 3 or 4 times i could figure it out. That would be like a math teacher telling his students to quit the class if the teacher needs to say anything, and only demonstrate on the chalk board.
It's kind of nice having things explained while you watch. Horrible music as well!
I love your voice. Sounds like that guy off unsolved mystery
I have no words for this video. Absolute brilliance.
Same problem with my 2005 E250 AC or heat only blows out the defrost vent (windshield) which I think if I had a choice for default is better to have some defrost but I want that AC to blow out the front vent right at my sweaty face lol thank you so much! RUclips is so awesome! But only because of the people that make videos and upload them thank you 🙏👍💖😇😁
Thank you for posting this this saved me from having to rip apart the whole dash on my E250
This is exactly what my problem is, your dash in the thumbnail matches my dash, and the video is good. Thanks so much!
Awesome. Spent $8.84 on the valve and the hose and this worked.
You need a reservoir to store vacuum or when you step on the gas you will lose vacuum and it will default to the defrost position, until you let off the gas. It works great only at idle
Thank you for publishing this, but for vehicle ignorant people such as myself, a verbal narrative would have explained what you were doing and what we were looking at.
Don't you just love an instructive video without instruction
The vacuum reservoir leaks on these vansand causes the vents to go into defrost only. The reservoir is difficult to get to so you can bypass the reservoir this way to get your vents switching again.
Awesome '80s porno soundtrack
Worked perfectly for our 2010 E350 Econoline. No narrative was necessary, the video says it all, thanks!
Glad to help
@@Zuntic I need help on knowing what the white lever under the panel on the dash is. mine is broke. It attaches to that vacuum motor
Your s is the best routing of all. I'm baffled the others could not find that route. 👍👍
Thanks buddy it fixed my vacuum problem with my ac,with out the valve it stops the ac when I accelerated,great job thanks again
Glad it helped you out.
I did that but with no check valve and no vacuum hose. Even reused the coupling from under the hood. I just pulled the red line down from under the hood and ran it through a bolt hole and plugged it right into the black line under the dash and, BOOM! My A/C vents work!!
Smart!
I like this video, even though there's no words, but it's well detailed
It worked!!!!! Thank u so much. Saved 2k and wife will actually ride in it now. Was a 2005 Coachman Freelander with a Ford E450 Triton V10. Can't wait to go camping now...bought this used and haven't even had a chance to use it yet. Thanks again
Loved the 1970s bar music.
This fix will have failure because the vacuum canister is being removed from the system. The proper fix is to replace vacuum canister with new check valve and mount under the passenger dash. If this isnt done then under semi aggressive acceleration the blend door will momentarily send it back to defrost. Will be most noticable when towing or hauling heavier loads.
Thanks for sharing. This really helped.
awesome, I am a licensed plumber,had exact problem for 2 years took it to mechanics they wanted to take dashboard apart change whole vacuum harness,I just didnt want that to be done for one usually some other wires get affected and they screw up something else not to mention the cost, I watched your video 1/2 hour ago went to auto parts store, took me 10 minutes and tested it and works like a charm,(just have to snake through now the way you showed is the simplest way, thank you so much for posting the video I'm very impressed !!!!
I am glad it helped you out.
Great Job Nicely Done
God bless you! This is just what I needed to fix mine.
I am glad it was able to help you out.
@@Zuntic @ i have the same problem , but my 2012 GMC Van don't has any wire or vacuum tube under the hood , inside is very clean , simple and nothing
This is like a vid on how to go from NC to California and aiming the camera on the roads yellow line the whole way there.
Amazing video
Check valve and that's it ,AWESOME...
This worked, awesome thanks!
Glad it helped out.
thanks worked out fine
If we could we would shake your hand! My coworker and I are fairly mechanically inclined and have just never attempted to fix this because it’s on a company van. Kudos to you good sir! Lol
And just for the record, a the jacket of a piece of cat6 wiring will tell you if this works. A temporary fix yes. But much better than dealing with +100 degree heat index in the SE states. Thanks again!
I am glad it helped out. I am about to have to do it to my current ford van. It only goes to defrost on heavy accelerations right now.
Bummer. I have a 2012 e150. I don’t have a hole with a grommet. There’s a ring v where one could be drilled. Unless it’s farther down behind the hinge?
But when n I take off the plastic cover on right side of passenger seat and look up I see daylight with good open. Maybe I could thread the hose thru there if it’s loose and doesn’t rub on metal?
I went crazy a year ago trying to figure out what was wrong. I thought it was c a blender actuator door or something like that. I’ve never fixed anything before on a vehicle, but maybe I’ll try this one, myself.
Would my check valve be the same part number for a 2012?
Bonjour, The red tip tube you show at first comes from a 4 way connector (on my 2004 e450 v10 anyway) and do not come all the way down like you.
What am I missing??
Thanks
Thee BEST DIY VID EVERRRR! I LOVE how u never have to say a word!👍👍💙
Many thanks
instead of running your hose to the outside of the vehicle you can also go through the side of the dog house, just take one bolt out of the side of the wall and run it through there from your throttle body so you dont have to use so much vacuum hose. :)
Thats a good idea too. I ran one on my current van through a hole in the firewall.
We don't need no stink'n words!
I'm old school just use cig smoke thru the lines..smoke will come out at the leak..simple fix
One picture worth a thousand words. good video!
Thank you
thank you
I fixed mine with no parts needed...they are all there. Pull the rubber hose's and extension off and re-use. I went through the bolt hole with the conduit wrap first, then the vaccum hose next for a tight snug fit...no calk needed....this fix anyone can do!
While I was at it on my 2009 E150 I ripped out the security cage that had my drivers seat up too close making my knee hurt driving...Now I have Air and seat moved back and reclined...Jheez going to work is going to be Lux now ;)
Nice.
I have a Ford E450 but it does not air come out through the front grilles only the back ones !! any solution
I like your video talking only complicates things I’m having a problem with my Ford when I switch to defrost mode nothing comes out of the front vents on the windshield do you think you know How I can fix it thanks
thank you, for me it was just a cracked vacuum line
where at?
In other words, if you’re not a mechanic to some degree, don’t mess with it…wish I could’ve seen more of the threading the needle and connecting process or maybe a verbal explanation, but yeah, the shop just pulled mine loose and sent me to another guy. I had cold air before that!
Thanks a lot...I fix mine minutes ago
hablas español?
tengo el mismo problema, sólo que no encuentro la linea que muestra en el video
En el video el la muestra ya desconectada....solo tienes que desconectarla va hacia el frente....suerte
Speak boy! Speak.
Will it work on 2011?
That's good WE ALL KNOW what just happened and how it was done... Disaster avoided.
Please list the parts I need. Mine is a 2008 Ford E-250. Thank you.
I just replaced my blower motor and now the motor works but nothing is coming out of the vents.
what diameter hose did you use and did you have to use any coupling or was everything the same diameter?
I do not remember the diameter of the hose. I just took a sample from off the van. I do believe i did have a few couplings.
En donde esta el filtro de aire de la cabina o el AC?
Nice thanx
You are welcome.
thnx
I have a Ford e150 2003 and on the inside on the bottom of the passenger side foot rest I don’t see the red wire as you have in the video?
It's not 'free floating' as it appears in the video (and if you know very little about cars like me, this was a bit confusing). You'll have to pull it thru the hole where it's mounted. He kinda has it angled in the direction you'll need to pull it @0:07
Some are black as opposed to red.
Did u have to cut that hole out in the side? Haven’t had a chance to look at mine. Hope this fixes it.
No the hole was there for me.
What size hose is that?
I do not remember. I just took a piece of the hose to the hardware store with me.
WHAT YEAR IS THE VAN THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON ?
It is a 99.
mine will blow the ac vents downhill but then going uphill it will stop.. also works and then doesn't work and then works again just sitting there idling and no gas pedal change at all... i don't understand it at all
Was Bumming, Thought I found the solution. NOT Where I know this has worked for a ton of people. Mine would drop the air blower out of the vents when the van started any ascent or hard throttle to the defroster. Reran my line, even ordered to Vac. canisters and put them in that foot space. Major bumming when it STILL dropped out. Any answers? 2006 E350 Service Body owned since new! Ended up buying a dual head fan mounting to the ceiling which usually stirs the air enough to make it tolerable to get over the hills until it drops back in and blows out the vents again. Been dealing with this for 5 years now. Stinks !
Only thing i can think of is did you add a check valve in the vacuum line some where so the vacuum cannot go back the other direction?
It's one of 2 things. Either the line coming up from the intake of the motor has a crack in it as well or you didnt put the correct vacuum reservoir on it and have the tubes connected to the wrong ports on your new check valve. You did put a t shaped check valve in your new line right?
@@flmoseley8141
I just bought a t shaped check valve, not sure wherre the 3 connections go.
Am I just putting a tap on the existing inline hose?
@@flmoseley8141 I can relate, ran a line through a hole in my doghouse to the throttle body in place of the red hose, comes inside, to a Ford check valve, then to a reservoir, has made no difference, so either the switches in the dash are leaking or a valve is, I have gotten tired of bothering with it. My 1973 E100 302 doesn't lose vacuum as often as this damn 99 5.4, doesn't even require wide open throttle, just get on a small hill, same roads driven by the 73, had a vacuum gauge in it and it kept pulling unless I floored it.
Will this work for a 2013 Ford e series?
I am not sure. Maybe if it uses a vacuum system for controlling it.
Same thing happened to my 2014 E350 dont know what to do
Get someone to hold the camera net time, I had onehellofa time doing it one handed. lol
Did you end up having to get a reservoir?
I just bypassed it and never put one back and it has worked fine for me without it so far.
Dude I mean really. If we knew how to do it then we wouldn't be on RUclips. Some narration????
If you need narration for this video then you shouldn't be attempting to do this yourself.The video is self explanatory.
Hey Zuntic, how do you replace those vents themselves?
I believe that they come out on the dash panel after it is removed. It has been a while since I took the dash off.
@@Zuntic thanks man. I didnt know if you'd remember since this was an older video but thats more help than I had
What is the name for that tube that goes through fire wall. ?
The vacuum tube?
Zuntic omg that’s right
It all good 👍knowing the name of things makes it a lot easier to find.
I’m sure this helped some people, but unfortunately it didn’t help me. You didn’t talk.
Actions speak louder then words helped me
It's just as well. His hands were too tasked to accompany any verbal instruction with hand gestures so that Italians like me could understand his words anyway
What aftermarket radio u got, looks good
Just a cheap double din I picked up off ebay. I did a video installing it. I installed a boss double din unit in my newer van just a few months ago I like the boss unit better but it does not have the ability to change the boot up logo like the other unit.
@@Zuntic did yours come with a backup cam, also just cut the hose on my van and the ac is working now
The boss radio i got came with a camera. I had to add another bit of cable to get all the way to the back of the van.
@@Zuntic just ordered the same one, mainly cus I like your boot up screen looks like it belongs in your van
Well just a heads up some of the units that look the same do not function the same. I have had a few that did not have the logo settings available. This one in this video was my favorite one I ever had and it was the first one that I ever bought. I have had about 7 double din units in the past few years.
cat got your tongue ??!!!!!
Hey the same thing happens to me. But mine is a gmc savanah 03. What do you reccomend to do?
I am not sure but maybe look for a bad check valve in the vacuum line. If the ac controls on a vacuum system. I never messed with my gmc van's ac when i had it.
Why complain? Just appreciate the fact he’s helping you out for free.
Thanks for the video, dude!!
You are welcome. No worries about the others, its all good.
Mine blows air but very slowly
Maybe needs a new blower motor?
Cat got your tongue
That’s my problem, vents not working
I liked your video but found myself dozing off that music was to soothing
4:16
$10
You just did what 90% of the Nation thinks is magic...
And I shake my head at them... I have son-in-laws who can't do this... smh
Other than the monotonous music- and no explanation---you should speak that exact paragraph above, "I am going to bypass the very difficult to access factory check valve, ..............................." then do it.
Could not tell what was going on no verble. explanation and picture moving to fast
Better explained impossible
If you need narration,take your vehicle to the shop.
i can’t find narration in the Ford parts list???
No words,not helpful at all for the general public.thanks for tryin though bud
For people who know a thing or two about tinkering with cars, it was more than enough info
Good luck bud.
not much help
christ all mighty this is POOr
