HVAC control upgrade on 2020 - 2023 Ford Explorer.

- In this video I show you how to remove and replace the HVAC controls in my 2022 Explorer ST. I wanted the controls with the temperature display on either side since before I purchased my 2022 Explorer ST, but they had stopped putting the controls with the display in it sometime in mid 2021. After seeing you could easily order the control unit with the display for around 100 bucks it was a no brainer for me.
I was told you must use Forscan to save your As Built data from your old HVAC control unit and write it to the new one, so I show that process in this video.

I like the look with the temp readout a lot better!
Easier to find at a glance than on the large infotainment screen in my opinion.
That looks alot better!
Thank you.
11:32. I had the same problem getting the unit back in. Push down on the right end corner piece to get under the textured trim piece.
12:05 thats it.
Sometimes filming this stuff makes it 10 times harder to do because I’m holding this phone and it makes it more difficult to see what I need to see. Usually I could do one side at a time and only film the side I did second so I could give good clear instructions on what to do but this piece had to go in as one piece.
So I went from a 2020 xlt to a 2022 timberline and I found this same problem very annoying. I got a used hvac module, swapped them out and didn’t have to program anything. Obviously programming it would be the correct way, but it’ll work perfectly fine without it
Answering the question if the dial will work w/o program, short answer is yes. But you wont be able to turn on the a/c. You have to program it as stated in this video.
Does this work on 2023?
Hey where you got the black glossy frame for climate control?
Link in the description of this video
5:25 IF you click "Load Factory AB". It will pull the As-Built data from the Ford Server. Need to be connected to Wi-Fi.
I know that as a feature, but I just don’t trust it that’s why I just saved my ass built and wrote it to the new one.
I don’t have cooling seats only heated, what part # is that because this one won’t work on my car 😢
I wish I could help you out. What I would do in your situation would be to reach out to someone with a 2020 model that only had heated seats that has the display and get their Vin number so you can look up the part number you need to order if that variation even existed. It may be that if you don’t have the cooled seats it wasn’t available with temperature display. Idk.
Hey dude . How do I close my windows with a key fob? It rolls down only seems like. I do have both options for global open and close on screen.
I haven’t messed with this option, but I know it is buggy. I turned them both off on mine. I know the global close has to be enable through force game, but I don’t know if there’s anything else you have to enable to make it function properly.
@@KnightsGarage thank you
Hello there again. Hey man I noticed that my ventilated driver seat occasionally turns ON by itself. Have you noticed anything after install ?
I know it does this as far as the remote start system there’s a setting for heated and ventilated seats to automatically turn on depending on ambient temperature
@@KnightsGarage ok, thank you
I’d imagine this works for xlts as well?
I would imagine so. As long as your vehicle came with dual zone, climate control from the battery, you should be able to change out the head unit and follow the directions on this video to get the temperature display on the unit itself.
Hey Knight , what is the best way to eliminate auto stop start feature? I disabled mine thru Forscan and it gave me a charging system service soon.
A start stop eliminator. Or a full on tune
@@KnightsGarage I had a harness but it messed with my tpms . Ok thank you
@@denismanace weird. Must’ve been the one you were using. What do you do if you go on the Facebook groups and do a search there are plenty of people that have the start start eliminator installed and working fine.
@@KnightsGarage yeah man don't have Facebook.
@@denismanace I understand. Try this

Hey Knight. Do I need to get as built data from Motorcraft ? Or is it in forscan ?
They have it listed in for scan for most vehicles and modules, but there’s also a website can go to to get it from Motorcraft. But in this video, I simply save the as built data that’s in my current module, and then write that as built data to the new module.
@@KnightsGarage thank you very much. I did it w/o forscan and my heated and ventilated didn't work. So.
@@denismanace yeah if you put your old one back in and then use for scan to save a copy of the as built and then reinstall the new one and write that as built data to the new one, everything should work.
@@KnightsGarage cool, thank you
You need the 401A package for this to work
You would need to replace it with one from a like model that has the features you have so if you did not have cooled seats and heated steering wheel, you need to order the one with the display that only has heated seats. But for the exact part used in this video to work for you, you would need the 401 A package with the same features that I have.
@Knight's Garage unfortunately my ST has 400A package. ... I was desperate and in need of a car. I purchased mine from a previous order. I love it, but if I had to do it again I would have spent the extra 5k on 401A.
@@samueldelgado1458 even with 400A it’s an awesome car. I wish I had the landscape screen from the 400A.
@Knight's Garage I LOVE IT... but I like to watch videos when I drive( I know it's totally dangerous and illegal).. so I made a cradle out of popsicle sticks for my phone
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting company for nearly 20 year and we're looking to sponsorship your car!
It looks like that control module is discontinued now😢
That sucks. Search eBay or go to your local Ford dealership and have them search nationwide to see if anybody has one on the shelf somewhere.
Haha. Captions spell "Forscan" as "Foreskin"...😂
When you turn D.side down P.side also gets down too.
Some not right.
Yeah only when the sync is turned on. You can control them separately also if you turn sync off in the A/C controls.
