Replying to: ascorbate (May 25, 2007 11:35 am) Let me tell you though that this was an absolutely "miserable" module to replace. It is under the hood sandwiched below the two heater hoses and underneath the vapor mangement valve and secured with two 8 mm screws. What should have been a 10 minute job turned into a 2-3 hour miserable job thanks (once again) to the forward-thinking engineers at Ford Motor Company. I don't know what those automotive engineers were smoking but it must have been damn good! I did read somewhere that if this blower speed controller needed replacement, that something else (like the blower motor itself) may have been the real culprit. Anyone else have any opinions about this?

Replying to: ascorbate (May 26, 2007 12:56 pm) I paid $150 to get mine fixed by my local Mom and Pop garage. One advantage of the Grand Marquis is everyone knows how to work on it, so don't overpay for a dealer to fix it. One suggestion is to find the garage your local police uses for repairs - they will know the car inside and out. |

My EATC(automatic Climate Control) is loosing vacuum. I checked the system, all doors function and do not loose vacuum, supply holds vacuum even post car being off, so storage canister is fine, no leaks in connection. What is left? EATC Symptoms are that air is coming from vent but changes to def/floor or will just come from def/floor. The only reason I can see after checking everything is that the solenoids in the EATC that regulate the vacuum to the different doors are not getting enough current. This in turn allows the opening to the outside air to open when the solenoid is activated and therefore loosing vacuum in that part of the system. Does anybody know how to fix this, short of replacing the EATC and does anybody have an electric schematic of the EATC?

Replying to: mr5x5 (Mar 21, 2007 1:14 pm) Mr5x5, I've had the exact same problem in my 2001 GM LSE. Last year Feb. I had the blend door actuator replaced. I'm thinking that perhaps the mechanic bumped or somehow caused the Controller Board to have a solder crack. Until then, the blower worked fine. A short time after the repair I noticed that the blower was intermittent. My blower stopped completely last week. I could not find anything on line to explain this until I read your post. Can you explain where I find the "Controller Board" to check it out. Naturally with the LSE it has the center consul making everything a bit harder to access under the dash. It sounds like it needs to be inside the heater/AC box to maintain the right temperature so it doesn't burn out. I'd sure appreciate any advise you can give me. Thanks, Sweating it out in Phoenix Az. Whew!!! KeatsArizona
