it was 22 degrees outside and my heater quit working and started making a ticking noise! i took it in to be checked out and the guy said that the flap part on the heater switch was broke and it will be 20$ for the part and then 75$ for the LABOR! after i watched him put it in, i was like"what the hell, i could have done that sh*t for free!" but at least it is done now and its like 80 degrees outside, figures!

problem #1

Explorer XLS 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission

The heater began making clicking noises and no hot air would flow through the vents.
After a time, the clicking noise stopped and only cold air comes through even though
the dial is turned toward heat. I have gone to local Ford dealerships only for the service people to say that they couldn't find any problem and weren't sure what could be making
the clicking noises in the first place. One local repair shop worker commented that
Fords were always having problems with their heating systems. I strongly feel that it is up to the Ford company to fix this problem for free instead of throwing that cost to me.
