I know I’m a little late to the party but recently my 2016 5.0 F150 shutters were rubbing right up against the transmission coolant inlet into the radiator over the shutter, actually punctured the hose. It was the very bottom right shutter too. My truck went into limp mode. All the transmission fluid leaked out of it, and that’s the same day. I decided to turn it into a mechanic myself. 5.0 coyote running alongside O-rings that are finicky and plastic tee connectors together by paper clips if you know you know. Thank you for your information, though. The domino effect that this stuff has on the truck is absolutely amazing.
Good find on the AC problem. It definitely can be challenging when it's been 'touched' by others. More and more, if you're a good technician like yourself , with a logical and thorough diagnostic process, your a very valuable asset to the customer of today. Regarding the wipers, if they 're coming on by themselves, there's a good chance that the multifunction wiper switch is at fault. When you get them working by reinstalling the fuse, you can monitor the switch positions through the SCCM , the Steering Column Control Module. Many times when they come on by themselves with the switch OFF, KOEO or KOER, you'll see that the switch shows as INT 1, 2, 3, 4, Low or High position. If so, it's usually the switch. Hope this helps. God bless
You were right. The dam code descriptions are very misleading though. I wish Ford would explain what the fault setting criteria was and the likely causes and let us figure out how to diagnose it. Their pinpoint tests often only serve to increase the labor time.
As a flat rate Ford/Lincoln dealer technician, I can tell you that Ford's labor times, especially for warranty repairs, which is most of what I do, don't pay well at all. If this was a cash repair, we would get 1.4 hrs to diagnose and maybe 1.0 hr to replace the multifunction switch. This would be 2.4 hrs total. Warranty diagnosis and repair time for the same repair might amount to 1.0 to 1.2 hrs total. No wonder parts replacers become the norm in shops instead of true diagnosis as you do. Our present cash labor rate is $189.95 in NJ. A check engine light diagnosis or HVAC diagnosis would be $225 for each and they would be 2 separate diagnoses. So, it would $500 just to diagnose what you just did. Curious how that compares to Canada. God bless.
@@michaelsparks4385 wow $189.95/hr and that's USD! That's like $245.00 Canadian. I basically charge straight time for any kind of diagnosis. In this case for the AC problem and the wiper problem it was 4.7 hours. My rate is cheaper than town independent shops which run around $150.00. The local Ford dealer is at $180.00 I believe. This was my first time working on the wiper control system on one of these trucks. If I get another I'll know exactly what to do and won't have to spend so much time researching the problem. In that case I may charge a little more than clocked time. (Customer should pay for knowledge). I'd say 1.5 to 1.7 would be fair for the wiper problem. Thanks for the comments. It's really appreciated.
Great video. My 2016 F150 V8 had a very loud fan and I changed the pressure switch and thermostat. Neither helped. I took it to the shop and my high pressure freon read 300psi when the truck was off. I had too much air in there and no idea how that happened. They took the air out and added freon and now it sounds very pleasant and easy on the ears lol.
Adding refrigerant to the system without proper evacuation of the system first can result in excess air and or refrigerant in the system. Glad you figured it out.
I had an issue with fan running at hi speed and hi temp while the vehicle at idle and the A/C stop cooling. It turned out that the 2nd fan stay hi to cool the engin if fan 1 fail. In my case it was bad connector on fan 1 motor side.
TXV was possibly clogged or stuck closed until you evacuated and recharged. You had 300 in the high side while ac was off if I'm not mistaken. I will check my louvers but I don't think that's the problem.
I can see using shutters on a cat or Cummins highway truck, but give me a break shutters are on my 2022 Honda CRV and froze up this winter so I covered the front with burlap to stop the ice and snow building up on the shutters here in Alberta, crazy engineers
I have a 2016 F150 2.7 and just today (8/28) my radiator fan started running full tilt with AC on. When I turn the AC off and shut off and restart the engine, the fan runs normally. When I turn the AC back on, the fan runs full tilt again until I again shut off the AC and restart the engine. Thoughts? Same issue, AC pressure sensor? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Well you really need to put some pressure gages on the AC system. Alternatively you can see high side pressure on a full function scanner tool. Aside from that make sure there is nothing obstructing the condenser. It likely has active grille shutters and they should be open. That was the problem on this one. A couple of the shutter louvers were out of place and jammed. Hope this helps you.
@@PhillipBailey i have the same problem(fans running loud ) when turning ac on but happens only in the summer 35°c to 40c° ...in the winter time 24c° fans running normal ...i wonder why😐
@kaiser2747 it depends on the AC condenser pressures. If tge AC is on and the ambient temperature is high together with poor air flow through the condenser and rad the fans will be commanded to max. Make sure the engine is not running hot and there is no restrictions for airflow through the condenser.
if you didn't have those shutters you wouldn't have heat in northern Canada or usa in the winter, they did that so ppl wouldn't have to put a piece of cardboard in there !

PHILLIP, GREAT VIDEO AND INFORMATION UR THOUGHT PROCESS IS GREAT THANKS FOR SHARING.

That's possible for sure. This also had sketchy connections at the pressure sensor connection. I can't remember if I recorded that part.
It’s called an expansion valve. That’s why the pressure wasn’t equalized on the ac.
Not a Ford fan lol, good luck!!! I’m going with multi function switch for wiper issue.. can’t wait for that one..
Ding, ding ding...correct.
@@PhillipBailey can’t wait to see!!
@@stevemazzarella7212 here's the repair to the wiper...th-cam.com/video/G8gUkNHbcl0/w-d-xo.html
What is this tool that you are using?
I'm using a Snap-on Verus Edge
@@PhillipBailey thank you.
Glad to see your gaining subscribers
yes he is an excellent mechanic and deserves more subs we need more Canadians like him.
AC get pressure check. If recent recharge of AC maybe to much pressure in AC
I can see using shutters on a cat or Cummins highway truck, but give me a break shutters are on my 2022 Honda CRV and froze up this winter so I covered the front with burlap to stop the ice and snow building up on the shutters here in Alberta, crazy engineers
I'm sure they worked great in the planning mode...

It helps warm the engine up quicker and therefore reduces emissions.
i love mystery thanks
