I have quite literally run 1/2 gallon of fluid thru this thing!
#2001 ford passenger van defrost manual#
If I plug the booster vacuum line and pull out in teh driveway, I have 4 wheel brakes but manual and an expected hard pedal which to me eliminates the possibility of air in the lines. I have plenty of firm pedal with no motor, if I jack up the truck and roll the tires, I have front brakes. I checked the adjustment of the push rod and it is exactly right. Recently I bled the brakes over and over again, I then reverse bled the brakes over and over again, plenty of pedal with no motor, almost to the floor with motor. I replaced the master and the brakes were perfect BUT, and I figured this out after 2 more masters, the mfg supplied the wrong lid and it poured fluid everywhere! I replaced the master again and accidently sucked the resevoir dry with a mighty vac, that was the beginning of my problems, I have had no brakes in front since! I have a 1953 F100 with a 77 Ford Granada booster and master cylinder, a GM Monte Carlo disc setup, and it worked flawlessly for 10 years. So my analogy is that a specialist in medical field and the dealership mechanics are the specialist - yet we are all human.
When I see a specialist and pay more then I hope they know what they are doing and not "practicing" on me since they have worked the problems and machines over and over. Not a regular mechanic - but a dealership mechanic for specific vehicles.ĭoctors - they are "practicing" medicine - they never said they knew what they were doing - so they practice what they learned. That is what I think of a dealership mechanic. I only think they know the product, have the tools, and software, and experience or able to ask a manger the problem. Doctors are trained in the human body, yet some people have to go see like 5 doctors before one gets it right. We all wish trained pros were like gods and had all the answers, right away. Let's hope they fix it soon before the cost gets too high.

This one has stumped us and to have Ford think the same thing - I just hope they are right with the controller - I will update this thread for those that could/would/may have this problem.į250 Powerstroke diesel 4X4 shortbed - 2001 Diesel 7.3 liter truck.

I thought the mechanics at the dealerships were trained for the cars at the dealership and have those manuals ~ and they could diagnose it correctly and do it when all else fails trying to do it yourself. So they are replacing that now and we shall see if it works. That is why we went to a dealer that we have used in the past.

We didn't know how to test to see if that was the problem or not. He said then that it must be the controllor - will what else ? We thought the same thing. We even put the old pump back in and felt it running - and so guy went to talk to his Ford Mechanic and called back" They called and said "pump was out", and we said - ahhhhhhhh - wait a minute - we replaced the pump and it is not the problem. They needed to be done anyway and thanks for that info - could have been problem in about six months. Okay - we changed the hoses to the hubs on both sides - $6.00 total spent - did not fix the problem. How to use a multimeter on a car - Google Search You would also need to know how to use a multimeter along with the instructions in the manual. If this does not work, you would need a Ford Factory Service Manual set which would have complete troubleshooting instructions for this problem as well as complete part replacement procedures. This also reboots the engine computer and the idle and driving above 45 mph helps it to "regain" its operating memory. This "reboots" all the computers in the vehicle including the A/C which then "resynchronizes" the actuator doors during the power-up. Then start vehicle and let idle for 5 minutes. Turn ignition switch to on, but don't start.ĭO NOT touch any buttons in the vehicle during this minute. Remove a battery terminal for 10 minutes, then reconnect. If there is a computer control involved with this, then you can try a "reboot". Actuators move little doors inside the vents to make the air go one way or another.
There was no computer involved.īut lately many vehicles have computer module controlled A/C and electronic actuators. I poked around a little on the internet and saw that some Ford vehicles have an electrically controlled actuator. As said, it could be mechanical, sort of like how the brakes work from the handlebars on a bike.
