    Problems in HVAC circulating system -2003 Ford Windstar

    I would say rear controls are working as normal. Rear controls on my Durango work the same way....there is also knob setting on the dash that has to be set to enable rear control operation.

    What new vehicle / engine is worth owning ?

    Caliper in EvapoRust

    OCI Obsession and loving it!

    Good for you, and I hope your good fortune continues. I just have a problem (personal one, I admit) with these transmission designs that are actually engineered to make metal shavings via normal operational charecteristics. If I had an engine or transmission that I knew was doing something...
