    Same Boat As You. Wife's Edge only blows cold through the passenger side. Hoping you get an answer...

     

    Turned out to be LOW on freon. 40$ Autozone recharge bottle fixed it. The gadge read on the low side and filled it with 18oz bottle. Now cold air both sides. Apparently very common for duel zone AC systems when they go low on freon. You can try it and recharge. Might get lucky like I did.

  2. Thank you! Good info. What threw me off from that diagram [found it earlier] was the direction it's drawn. Thought the front of the vents were on the bottom of the pic. Turns the bottom is the front [towards hood]. But thxs for the info. I ended up diving in and fixed it. Took both actuators and open to inspect. Both were fine. [MODE and BLEND]. What was the problem was the HVAC flap doors were just very dry and I'm sure dusty on the hinges. I ended up spraying silicon lube and manually spinning the MODE gear to move the flaps to get the silicon moving. After a minute of that... it felt easier to turn. Put it back together and NO MORE clicking. But the warm air issue turned out to be LOW freon. Bought a recharge for 40$ and now it works like new! What a ride!

    I recently had to change out an actuator in a Taurus because I couldn't get the defrost vents to work.  Major problem in the winter!!!!  I was able to pinpoint which actuator it was by the clicking noise and getting my fingers on it.  Unfortunately it was the upper actuator on the drivers side which was a bitch to get to. I made a little bed out of milk crates and a patio cushion so I could lay down and try to get the 3 screws out.  Took me about 4 hours and I only got two screws back in.  Had to go all MacGyver and make a couple extended 1/4" ratchet handles. My whole body was sore for a few days:)

    Hilarious.  I got stiff today from fixing it yesterday! I can't move aswell but fixed it.

  4. Little update. This morning I noticed it blowing cold air. Do it's become intermittent.  This started 3 days ago. Suspecting it's a failing temp blend door actuator. Also... about a year ago o fo recall doing the MODE actuator due to the vents not wanting to switch to windshield. They were stuck on front amd lower vents only. The mode actuator fixed the issue. But now for about 2 months now I haven't been able to switch to ground vents unless I do the system reset procedure that fixes it but once I play around to move the vents it fails again. Ever since this started happening I hear a click click sound when the car gets turned off. The typical clicking some people get when the hvac is acting up. What are the chances the mode actuator failed only after 1 year? I bought it off Amazon from Dorman. 

  5. Driver side vents only blow ambient temp. NO cold AC air from it. But passanger side blows icy cold. Which actuator do I replace? And where is it located? Does anyone have a diagram of it? I know there's 2 actuators on the driver side and 1 on the passanger side. Help! Thxs. Also.... if I go to rockauto or others sites.... they show multiple actuators and valley them temp,mode,rec and blend. Becomes so confusing. I have the 2015 Edge 2.0L Titanium trim with dual climate auto control. If anyone can point directly to a link to the proper actuator, that would be amazing

    Yes.  The part arrived Friday and I installed it right away.  Very easy install, took about 20 minutes.  Has worked every single time since. Challenged it with the push button inside, key fob, button on door handle, “wave of the foot”. We were out and about this weekend and I popped it every time we stopped and got out of the vehicle.  Flawless. 
    Thanks for the tip. The wife is very happy. 

    Awesome. Yeah,  easy 20 min job. Glad it worked. Hardest part doing the job myself was installing the panel back since you have to align the plastic knobs and the thing moves around. But  I've had zero issues so far myself and now happy to know it's a easy job if it fails again down the road. And the part cost isn't bad compared to the dealer cost for OEM,  think it's around 375$ to 400$ I think.

    Ordered. Will report back with outcome once installed. Thanks 

    Good luck. It should work. Mines has been FLAWLESS since its been replaced. Carefull 8nstalling it. Keep it clean. I believe its returnable according to the listing. Just in casr it doesnt fix yours.

  8. Wondering since I get a slight stumble in idle once in a while and noticed there a good amount of blowback if I removed the district. Enough to spit out fine particles of oil. Makes me wonder since every so and then when I turn off the engine, I get a random very short "honk buzz" noise that comes from the engine bay. It does it 2 times usually. Make me wonder is the pcv is to blame.
