jward Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hi. In the last week the A/C on my 2012 Ford Edge Limited has been acting strange. I have the Sync system and while driving down the road, my A/C with increase the fan speed with no one touching the buttons! And its not in AUTO mode to regulate the temp. So since its cooling down a bit, the A/C was off and again out of the blue with no one touching any buttons, the A/C popped on and increased the fan speed. I swear its possessed. Can there be a stuck mechanism behind the panel? Has anyone else had this weird problem and how was it fixed? Thanks for any info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Do you also get the beep sound similar to when touching the controls? or maybe see the fan speed icon in the left bottom corner? This is just to confirm that it might be some grease or dirt causing the control panel to register touches. If that is the case, maybe a thorough cleaning will help. Another stop would be to take of the panel & try to clean it from behind (might need to disassemble it), last thing might be a defective panel. Others might have better ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jward Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 It does make the beep sound as iff someone is touching it and the fan indicator does show. I guess well give it a good cleaning and go from there. Thanks for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I have had a phone charging cable touching the panel and it actually changed the fan speed just by jiggling and hitting the touch controls. Do you have anything laying or draped around that area that would touch the controls? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jward Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 No nothing is touching it, no cords or anything. My brother-in-law is going to take off the panel and give it a cleaning to see if that'll stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
