- Had problems with no heat whatsoever, 2013 Ford edge limited. Replaced the blend door actuator which I had found in forums should fix it, but still had no heat. Tried several things, read up about the fix for pressing the climate power and defrost at the same time but had to figure out the correct procedure. Wanted to post this so if you’re having this problem, you know what to do!
You're a life saver dude! Worked the first time on my 2013 Edge Ltd, but...after restarting the car, it still blows hot on driver side, I redid it and it worked again, but why it doesn't stay this way...???
Looks like you’ll need to replace the actuator!
Ditto on the Life Saver. All I was seeing was $$$$ if I went to the dealer to fix it. I'm sending you a virtual beer on me.
@@j.Fontaine glad to hear it worked! Tell you what I’ll take a soda ha ha
You can only put a mandate on a cut so many times and then it has to have surgery.
You are wonderful. I'm ready to go on a 1300 mine trip and on Friday afternoon, when I'm leaving on Monday, the passenger side of my 2014 Edge starts blowing heat. I still have AC on the driver's side. I call both the Ford dealership and my local mechanic who told me it's the blend door actuator and it is an 8-hour job to replace it. That the entire dash has to come out, but no one can see me for 2 weeks and I'm leaving Monday morning. I've been searching for a workaround on TH-cam and found several ways on TH-cam to reset and none worked. When I found yours I was looking at how to block the passenger side so at least I wouldn't have the heater on full blast in August. Your reset worked immediately. I'm 68 years old and you saved my trip. Thank you Soooooo much!!
Repair shop told me I needed to replace the heater core after “diagnosing” the problem. That was a $3K repair you just saved me!!!! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much!❤ I thought the AC needed recharged but nope the AC was working great, just not on the drivers side.😢 Followed your guide and as soon as I saw the lights doing their thing I knew I was saved. Either it's gonna work or I need parts replaced. Thank you ❤🎉😂
Thank you! Thank you! I’m no longer freezing in the morning while my daughter is looking so cozy on the way to school every day.
Dealership wanted me to pay $145 an hour for diagnosis with a 2 hour minimum. This video saved me a ton of money. Thank you so much!
Absolutely!
Went to a mechanic shop this week cuz the driver side wasn't blowing hot air, they tried to convince me to replace one specific "fan module" and the total including parts + labor was supposed to be something around $450!
Just did exactly what u showed and boom, everything working fine!
Man, thank you so much!
2014 Ford Edge Sport
No problem, hope it stays that way!
THANK YOU!!! When my passenger side started blowing BLAZING HOT mid-summer 2-3 years ago, I found the instructions to reset the AC on the non-limited trim. Over the years, I managed to accidentally press the right sequence to get it to reset a few times but couldn't reliably duplicate the results. I just stumbled across this video while shopping for a replacement part. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you! On our way to a wedding-all dressed up and no A/C on driver’s side. Your vid allowed us to fix the issue mid-ride. Thanks for sharing the procedure!
Last Christmas we were on the way to Disney and I was freezing - miserable. Found this video and tried it at our first stop and it was a miracle. Looks like I have to do it again today so very glad it was still here.
THANK YOU. You saved my 6 month old, 3 year old and 5 year old from dying in 100 degree weather. You’re awesome
My heater was blowing out cold air on the driver side. I decided to try this before taking it to the shop and it worked! Thank you for saving me money!
Wow Thank you, I was having issues with my AC, I searched and searched and yours was the only accurate description of how to do this on my vehicle. And It Worked !
All Fixed, Thank You
Just fixed my car. I originally took this to a mechanic to fix and refill my system and spend $150 after trying to refill the system myself. When I did the refill the charge indicated full so I knew I had to take it to get looked at. Tech flushed system and recharged it, still blew hot, once he erased all the red flag codes from the car the system worked. Paid $150. After a week my driver side went out. Took it back to him and he suggested I replace the blend door actuator. We have it a tap under the steering wheel and both blew cold. Then my passenger went out a day later. After watching. This they both now work. Thank you so much.
Video still helping folks. Just corrected my 2014 Ford Edge Sport AWD. Other press and hold methods didn't work, this did. Fixed this while on a trip and didn't have my OBD II scanner and laptop with me. Saved me from having to unplug blend door/actuator wires under the dash and battery cables etc. Drivers side all temps, passenger side just hot in all modes. Thanks for posting.👍🏼
I tried every “reset” instructions from 3 or 4 TH-cam videos. Your instructions worked the first time. I heard the vent mix actuators resetting just like in your video. Best part, I was able to use the same method on my 2014 Lincoln MKZ. Now I have saved a trip to the dealership and saved the charges.
Awesome!
I cant believe how easy this was to fix!!!! it was blowing cold on the left and hot on the right but after i did this, the system works perfectly. Thank you!!
Most people talk about the steps but never do them.. thanks for the actual steps it worked like a charm !!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm retired and my husband has dementia, I was frantic. A couple of years ago it would have been no problem, he could fix anything. Took it to a shop and got a $200 estimate. Then my
"I can do it attitude kicked in". I searched and found your video. Worked like a charm. We bought a 2013 Edge Limited with 38,000 miles on it. So I'm kind of waiting for things to start going wrong. It was owned by an elderly man. No kidding! I'm 70, but not old. Thank you again. Going to suscribe.
Thank you!!
So thankful for this video! I’ve had to do this multiple times on my 2013 Ford Edge over the last 6 months. It’s so annoying! This video has saved me aggravation of going to mechanic. Thank you!!!!
I can think of a few things more annoying then having to press three buttons. Like maybe bringing it into the shop multiple times in 6 months for this same issue? I'll take this fix over anything else.
@@ryan9020 I’m at the point of resetting several times a week! Have you figured out what the underlying problem is? I’ve thought about disconnecting my heat to fix the issue.
You just saved me 1k. Mechanic swore to me it was the modulator that needed to be replaced AFTER they replaced the actuators. I asked them to try a reset, and they said it didn’t work. I told them to wait. I did the reset from your video and it worked. Thank you!!
Seriously this just made my day. I have a 14 edge that decided to pull shenanigans In South Texas this month I finally got out to try this after looking at others that do not work or fully explain as you did thank you. And I edge is no longer on a time out.
FWIW I am 64 years old and spent 20 years in the automotive service channels like yours really make me happy and hopeful in a world or Service writers can only read the computer.
Ugh sorry about the spelling and grammar. Siri and I just have issues at times. 😊
You are a freaking genius! Thanks for the tip. It worked in my Ford edge when all the other ways failed!
Omg i was losing it because this trim was not on any video! I am in autozone parking lot about to get the blending door actuator to replace it. I’m in 105 degree weather in southern California. You saved my ass big time!
I tried so many different methods to fix my ac blowing HOT air and this was the only one that worked, thank you so much!
My wife's sub was blowing hot on the passenger side. I tried it this morning and it worked. Simply fix thanks.
Good deal!
I want to say THANK YOU so much for your knowledge and posting of this video!! i have a 2014 ford edge limited and gone thru many videos-nothing has worked until i came across yours! You saved me so much money by doing it myself rather taking to a mechanic!! I APPRECIATE YOU!!
Bro thank God I found your video I got into my car this afternoon I have the Ford edge limited 2012 same trim model this saved my life in this heat man it's 102 degrees out here in South Texas and my vents were only blowing feet and windshield you saved my car
You probably get this a lot but thank you so much for this video. I have tried other methods and videos similar to this that has not worked but your method has worked and it has worked twice. You're a lifesaver thank you.
Awesome! I replaced the passenger blend motor over the summer and it worked fine for AC, but it's cold now and it kept blowing cold on the passenger side. Thanks for getting me out of the dog house.
God damn you're amazing. All the other tutorials are either the actual buttons or they don't walk you through it. I tried reseting it a million times and it only worked after I followed along with your video
I have just purchased my 12 limited and was having issues with the air blowing hot and the heated seats not working and I was looking at totally unrelated videos and this video popped up, so I was like hey! let's take a look!, Duuuuuude! I did this reset and it fixed both issues! Now its blowing hot air and my heated seats are working !!!!! You are a champ! 😃😃😃😃
2014 edge. Worked great. Thank you thank you. Watched several videos and yours was the only one that clearly explains the reset and you saved me hundreds of dollars. 😊
This worked!! I tried a few other videos but yours was the most specific and what I needed for my limited that was blowing cold air on one side. I had a diagnostic apt I was nervous about bc they couldnt get me in for over 3 weeks, we'll be going into Dec by then and im a single mother who just wanted to make sure the car is warm for the kids but was not looking forward to the potential hundreds and hundreds this could have cost me!! THANK YOU!!
OH MY GOSH!! This was so helpful!! This is the only video I've found that matches my exact trim package, and I was seriously losing my mind trying to figure it out! Also, for anyone else out there, another issue I was having was a horrible smell flooding my car when I turned the heat on high. Turns out, a common cause is mold growing on the wiper blades and inside the vents. I swapped out the wiper blades and sprayed 409 into each vent, letting it sit for 2-3 hours before cranking the heat. Had to repeat this twice with the vents, but now the smell is gone, and it killed all the mold!
Thanks so much for this video. Procedure worked great. We had cold air conditioning air coming out of the drivers side vents and very hot air coming out of the passenger side vents. This happens all of a sudden from one day to the next.
After following the instructions in this video the air-conditioning is coming out of both drivers side and passenger side. Excellent information!❤🎉😍
This is the best reset on youtube for this issue! I still have not had to replace my actuator but have to do it more often. So, until it doesn't work, I will not replace it. Seriously, these days, because of all the fuses and tech crap in my car, I have to do all sorts of hacks on my baby to save some $$$$
Thank you soooo much , I had replaced the actuator a month ago because I had no AC on right vent just hot air and did not know it had to be reset , your are a lifesaver !
Oh man, thank you so much for posting this video. I have had problems with mine off and on where I've had to take it in to get it looked at and it still happening. This works superbly. Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. The sad thing is why can't they do this at the dealership. Oh no, they just want your money
Dude my passenger side air vents were blowing hot as hell admins I tried this now there blowing out cold again!!! Thanks my dude!!
Glad it helped!!
Same thing with me. Thanks
just now i experienced this on my ford edge. my wife was complaining blowing hot air on her side(passenger). but when i tried to reset it works😁👍🏼
Worked for me as well! 🎉 Thank you!!!
Would this work on a ford explorer
THANK YOU! Man I was all over the forums and TH-cam and nobody explained it, or showed it, this way.
I’ll buy you that pop (soda) anytime you’re in the Detroit area!
Thanks bro! Done this on a 2014 limited edge and it worked! Had heat on the passenger side and cold on driver side.
I never leave comments but I want to thank you so much for this video. I just got a 2013 mkx and the air/ heat was only coming out from the windshield defrost fan. Nothing from the front vents. Your fix worked perfectly 😊 Thank you for sharing!
2014 Ford Edge Limited owner here. Same issue and thanks to you, this is fixed time for winter ❄️ much appreciated.
So glad to hear it! Thanks for the reply.
Thank you for posting this fix! The tutorial was concise and easy to understand. It worked perfectly! You saved us time, money and a lot of consternation! Thank TH-cam for hosting videos like this!
You're my hero!!!! I pulled the plug on all 4!!!! actuators and it worked once, but this second time nothing. Your video helped me with this dumb reset. I couldn't find any videos on a touchscreen model. Thank you!
OH MY GOD.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’ve been looking for a tutorial for so long with this type of touch interface and you’ve just saved this 3 hour drive from being an icy cold hell into a comfortable oasis. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Thanks 🙏 this guy save me a lot , just ask to the dealer where I got it from but they stood me to go to this mechanic shop .. this is a genius
Thanks!
HUGE thank you for this! Mine is still under warranty (2014 Sport) but it's not been working for a couple of weeks and they weren't going to be able to get me in at the dealership until the 20th. Fixed in less than 5 minutes! Fortunately it has zero mechanical issues (only has just under 43k miles and it'll be 7 years old soon) so was not looking forward to it needing to be out of commission for a couple of days. THANKS!!!
Welcome!
Thanks man! You are the only one that described the entire process and it worked the first time on our 2014 Edge. Others would say press the power button and defrost button for 8 seconds which did nothing at all. Thanks again for the detailed explanation.
Glad it helped!!
This is working for me all the time. 4 times in 2 months, thank you so much.
This totally worked for us!! We were getting ready to drive to SC from Texas in 92 degree weather and the ac stopped! Tried this and it fixed it! We are sooo thankful🙏🏼❤
Great to hear!
Thanks. This was a huge help as I could not get other reset protocols to work. This one did the trick. Thanks.
Thank you for explaining it better than others on here…it worked for my 14 Edge thank you!!!
People kept saying just to hold the two buttons at the same time. Thank you so much, been dealing with this for a while now.
You’re welcome!
THANK YOU MY DUDE! Out of nowhere my 2013 Lincoln MKX just blowing out super hot air only on drivers side (middle of summer). Went through all the trouble to replace blend door actuator on drivers side only for it still to be blowing hot at hell on driver's side. Was so pissed off after all that work for no results. Then came across this video! Wished I had tried this first may have fixed the problem without the replacement.... You ****ing rock brother!🍻🍺🍻 Can confirm this process also works on Lincoln MKX 2013 (Pretty much same as edge).
Omg, so annoying my air was working, then got out the car for 10mins, get back In and heat comes on. Thanks for the video!!! I'm no longer sweating
3rd time in two years that I have had to do this! Tried other solutions did not work for me! I know its gonna work when the cabin lights go disco! Great fix! Thank you! 👍👏
Dude you are the absolute best, totally fixed my issue. Edge sport 2013 … it’s important to hold down the defrost for a couple seconds like you said when you press that.. yes press and hold. Thank you!!!!
This video is a life saver!!! I had hot air blown on the passenger side while the climate in Dubai is 45'C.. I panicked and tried many things but they wont work till i saw your video and tried it and now its working perfectly fine..Thanks a million!
My 2014 Limited was blowing hot air on the driver's side and I just reset the climate control and it worked! Thanks for the tip! You're a lifesaver!!!
This just saved me a half day’s headache. Heat on drivers side, AC out the rest. WORKED!
I had cold air but defrost only. With your help I managed to spend less than a minute fixing that problem! It's my wife's vehicle and it gets over 100 degrees average around here in late summer this was a priority for me. Thank you for your video! One less problem for me
This was amazing! I've been running from forum to forum trying to solve this because all the other explanations for resetting it were simplified and not working at all. I did exactly the steps as you did them (besides the turnkey ignition) and it worked like a charm. I was so happy to see the car actually responding and hear the doors resetting. You're the man!
Glad to hear!!
This guys video definitely works and he made it super easy. A+ dude!
Currently on the road at 90° and rising. Thanks so much for the demonstration. Worked like a charm!!
Absolutely! Glad it helped
All I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this video...it worked like a charm! I have had this problem off and on over the years with my Edge and the problem seemed to always happen in the dead heat of the summer when you have hot air blowing in your face or in the dead of winter and cold blows your way. So thankful I didn't resort to taking it in. THANK YOU.
You’re welcome!!
Yes! I was doing the trick where you unplug the green fuse connection thing to get the AC to actuate, but it wasn't working this time. your reset instructions worked!
Dude, thank you! I seriously mean that... thank you! You saved me time and money. I was in a cranky mood and was ready to take my 2013 Ford Edge Limited to the dealer, but first I thought, “I wonder if there’s a quick fix for this.” I found your video, followed your instructions, and boom💥 , problem solved. 🤜🏽 🤛🏽
Awesome!
2013 MKX, Yes, this actually works, thank you. ✊
This process worked on my wifes 2011 Edge Limited. Thanks bud! Now I just have to stop her from buying a new car.
Oh my gosh....i have been scouring the interweb (haha) on how to reset the actuator on the 2013 Limited with the touch screen (nothing) until I found this. Took be less than 3 minutes and it was blowing cold all the way around. Thank you DoAt South
Thank you so much for such detail. This worked for my 2014 edge. I already tried another video. My ac was blowing hot on one side and cold on the other. Ugh thank you.! I love cold air! Lol
I know this is an old video now, but I’ve spent several hours today watching essentially the same video from different people. The one showing how to reset a vehicle like mine but without My Ford Touch. I tried to hold power and defrost and then tap power about 56 different times and it didn’t do anything. I was about to start ripping the interior apart when I finally came across this video that shows my trim package, and it had a rather different procedure to reset it. But at least this procedure gives you feedback to know you did it properly (the ambient lighting changing colors).
I had to do the procedure four or five times before it worked, but after the second time it was getting slightly better each time I did the reset. Oh, I forgot to mention that my issue was no heat on driver’s side.
So, after the second reset, I began to notice small improvements (increased temp. on driver’s side) after each reset. After the 4th or 5th reset, it was nice and hot.
And now I have this stuck in my head….”press, hold, release, press, press. Press, hold, release, press, press. Press, hold, release, press, press. YESSSSS!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Seriously dude, I very much appreciate you taking the time to post this video.
Dude you saved me, everytime I have this problem I check your video and fix this AC issue, it always happens once in a while!!
Works for 2016 ford edge limited as well! Thanks a million!
100% works and saves hundreds of dollars. Thank you!
Awesome video that answered my issue, believe it or not, what caused my blend doors to be out of sync was a dead battery my fault, but after recharging all I could get was cold air on drivers side and hot wire on passenger side. I went thru a lot of videos and BS before finding this, and this process works! Thanks😊
Omg after a year of no AC and not wanting to take it to the shop. This worked!! I'm so happy
God bless you sir you saved me from so much money. I didn’t know how to get the air conditioner to work Thank you so much
I have been having problems with my ac having hot air blow thru my driver side and I just got on TH-cam to look for solution and saw your video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video the dealership tried to say it was the heater core after I told them I replaced the blend door and it still wasn't working!
This worked great on my 2013 Lincoln MKX! Thank you so much! Other videos tell you to remove the actuators and get underneath the steering wheel. Wow this was so easy! Thanks again!
Worked perfectly!! Thank you for the step by step guidance. Always appreciate these DIY repairs.
Thank you so very much for sharing. Helped me out tremendously!!
Thank you! I have a 2014 Limited, and your reset brought warm air to the driver's side immediately!
I just did this filed the directions and it worked for me my issue was heat blowing out one side cold blowing out the other I filed these directions and now it works perfectly fine thank you so much
This was amazing and so helpful! Fixed so quickly, worked right away! Thank you! I felt helpless and so terrible for my passenger! Thank you!
You're welcome!!
So glad it helped
Thank you, thank you! I used another video to reset it last year, but I really had to fiddle with it because it didn’t have the touch screen. Your version worked perfectly! 🎉
Just want to thank you for this video. My heat is back on. 🎉🎉🎉
I wonder if this is a fluke in all 2013 limiteds. Wish it could be fixed so we didn't have to the this everytime we wanted cold air. Thank you for sharing this. Very effective!
DIY videos like this deserve some kind of TH-cam reward. Saved me so much time and money. God bless you
Glad I was able to help!
You're the best! 🎉Worked exactly as you said....perfectly Worked on my 2014 limited! Thanks so much!!❤
Perfect Video!! there are at least five other videos that are so detailed and do a manual repair where your reset is the solution.
Thank you!!
HALLELUJAH! THIS WORKS! 2012 Ford Edge Limited. I'd been having intermittent problems with it blowing hot air out of the passenger side, even on max AC. It would do it for a few days, then "fix itself" for awhile, then do it again. Of course, always when it's 100+ F out! I was dreading the repair bill, as the shop said they needed to pull the dash to fix. Even when I found out that was not the case, and you only need to remove the glove box, it was still a HUGE relief. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for posting this! It is saved to my faves for the next time it happens.
Bro I have 2013 ford explorer ecoboost suv but my heat can only vent up on the Winchell but not blowing to ward me what can I do
@@zangardavid4491 Not sure David. If it has the same digital climate control system as the Edge, it should work. Mine also has the Sync system, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it?
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I WAS PULLING INTO THE AITO REPAIR AND LOOKED ON TH-cam AND FOIND THIS VIDEO A COUPLE YRS AGO. I JUST HAD TO PULL IT BK UP. THIS IS THE BEST ONE. THANK YOU!!!!!
Still saving ass pain out here! Thanks so much for posting! Easiest fix EVER!!! You rock!
You just saved me a trip to the mechanic and who knows how much money! My daughter's Edge was blowing cold on the driver's side and hotter than Hades on the passenger side and this quick fix took care of that issue. Thank you so much for your help!
Great!
Exactly what I was getting
This is the only video that worked for me. Thanks bro
No problem!
Thank you. I couldn't find a tutorial for this trim model anywhere else, and it worked!
Thank you . I had one side blowing hot air and one side cold. Fixed it right up
