Refresh my memory please.

What's going on with it? "...things get worse.."

HI @MrLexFlo. Sorry for the delayed response. Been remodeling a house to move into. It's been awhile so lemme dig into the memory banks best I can. 1) Heater Core, Evaporator, Blower Motor and All HVAC Door Actuators will be either removed to do this job or at least easily accessible. (Recirc, Temp, Mode) Of that list the Actuators are most likely to fail. Maybe the Blower Motor if the car has a lot of miles on it. Put 12 volts to the blower motor. Listen to it and feel it spin. Replace as necessary. 2) Most newer vehicles do not use the same Plug In Connectors. If they do they are certainly not within range of one another. If you happen to remove a wiring harness let it lay somewhere in it's natural shape/state. When you go put it back together you can ofter just lay it in it's approximate location and the Connectory just sort of find themselves. 3) Specialty Tools? Any mild sedative works just fine. Dosage to your liking. 4) Yeah it won't be much different. Wishing Success and some chemical JOY for the Journey! You're gna need it.

@@forestgump3977 It comes down to the upper thermostat stud that must be removed. Can’t get a torx socket on it. Use vise grips to grab the stud and back it out. It is only this way you can remove the thermostat housing without removing the intake manifold. Focus on this portion of the video.

@@yardeebossfarmsolutions Thanks my friend. I hope yours goes well. What a mess that job is. Thanks for appreciating the effort to record and post. I knew it was gna be a mess. I wanted to share for others out there. I appreciate the appreciation.

My pleasure my friend. I hope it helped.

Hey Buddy. I"m a mechanic, not a Videographer. I used what I had, as far as video equipment, because I was certain there were folks out there that wanted to see something, even anything. My apologies. Like and Share. Maybe I'll make a buck on my efforts and can then afford better equipment. :)

The actual removal of the Dash? Check out my other video. The LONG Version. It's in there.

Thanks for watching it!!!

Yeah its a big huge job. Are you near NW Ohio? I'll do it for you.

@@torquespec9345 I’m in saline mi, how much would you charge for a 2013 ford fusion heater core replacement

Bottom. IYou may have to move a plastic stash shield to get to it more comfortably.

29:55-32:00. It seems you simply didn't watch long enough. I clearly show what I did to remove that stud. I hope this helps.

Thanks for watching!!!

I'd like to help but I need more information. Which Nut?

@@torquespec9345 The one connected to the thermostat itself

@@KayXolani Yeah the actual removal of the Thermostat is headache. Remove the nut from the stud then remove the stud. The thermostat housing and the stud come out together. For further clarification please watch the video.

try a wrench? Open End if need be. There's a tool to do it. Watch the video to see what I did.

I seen one video where it looks like they took out the intake manifold to get to the alternator and thermostat was that necessary for you or no

T47 Front. T55 Rear

Awesome!!! It's a tough job for sure. Good Job!

I hope it helped!!!

Hi @kevinoutdoors8504 Unfortunately, my friend, the heater box comes out with the dash. There is a "Dash Frame" (3/4" square tubing, guessing at the size) that "encases" the heater box. The entire assembly comes out on the floor then you remove the Dash Fascia, wiring harness, some more stupid duct work then the heater box can be separated from the square tubing frame. It's a stupid design. I'd put this engineer and the end of the line of all the other dumb ones. Line them all up then kick the square in the nuts. LOL

I"m tryin to think where that evaporator temperature sensor was. Hmmmmm. Refresh my memory? Here's the longer version. I show the Dash Assembly on the floor and disassembled. Maybe you can find the Temp Sensor in here some where and find some helpful information. Good Luck My Friend!!! th-cam.com/video/px8BQzfK1AA/w-d-xo.html

@@torquespec9345 thank you. Fixing to get started on this beast. Ugh. lol.

@@kevinoutdoors8504 You can do it!!!!!!!

Hey @calibruce7608. Based on your description there seems to be an intermittent break in the electrical circuit. As you suggest the Turn Signal Switch is certainly Suspect. It's also possible that there is some corrosion at the Bulb and Socket, Either Left Front and/or Left Rear causing this intermittent electrical issue. Check these before you spend the Big Bucks on this Turn Signal Switch. Most parts stores will not return an electrical part that has been installed. If it's not at the Bulb/Socket or the Turn Signal Switch it will be a break in the Wire Harness. Please let me know what you find. I'm always curious. Thanks for the Comment!!!!

Thanks for the kind compliment @Naeemkhan-t2yf. I hope the video was helpful.

Hi @marvinstanley514 The question is: "HOW MANY HOURS DOES IT TAKE TO REPLACE THE SWITCH?" ANSWER: It really doesn't take long. To better answer the question it would be helpful to watch the video then judge for yourself. You know what tools you have available. Your skill level. Lighting availability. Possible interruptions from the Wife, Kids or Customers and other factors. I did this one in less than an hour. I hope the video is helpful. It's quite a simple job. Just be aware of the battery and the air bag connections. If you can change the light bulb on your Range Hood you can do this job. I have confidence in YOU!!!! Please tell me how it went once you have it completed. I'm looking forward to hearing about it.

Thanks Gracie!!!

Is it a Diamond Washer like on the 2.3 and 2.5? No Keyway on the Crank? I haven't done it yet on the 1.5T. What can you tell me? I have done the 2.3.

@@torquespec9345 yes sir, the crankshaft pulley, timing belt drive gear and both camshaft pulleys are NOT keyed at all. Its a trap.

Hi @cathyclark3804. Thanks for watching!!! Miss You Sis!!!!

Hi @vegasrodriguez4050 Thanks so much for the feedback! It's the whole reason I made and posted the video, to save some of my unknown friends some time. Good luck with your project!!!!

@vegasrodriguez4050 please tell me. Did you have to remove the AC Compressor? Did you come in from the top? How did your job go?

Hi Cathy! Yeah this one was a Bear. Book calls for 11-12 hours. Big Job! Thanks for the Comment and Like!!!

I don't understand. I'm Old and Ignorant. Please explain.

Hi @TheMone4000! Thanks Man! I really appreciate the feedback. The whole purpose of the video was to help others and maybe a little $. I haven't done another one of these yet. Please tell me, Did you do it all from the top? What did I do that you did NOT have to do? I hope the video gave you enough information to avoid half of what I did. Thanks Again My Friend!!!

How about you @TheMone4000, did you have to take out the AC Compressor? How did your job go?

@@torquespec9345 nope did the whole thing from the top

​@TheMone4000 did you end up having to take intake off?

@@christianacosta1782 no
