Max Fan

Sometime during today's drive, the max fan turned itself on. Since we stopped it has been randomly turning itself on and off all evening. I took the batteries out of the remote in case that was a problem. Did not help. Pulled what I thought was the fuse. Did not help. If I push the power button, it starts. If I push the power button, it stops. Then sometime later will start up again, run for a while and stop. I turned off the auto function, set the auto temp to 90 (its 45 now). Nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions?

I thought this sounded familiar... here's a thread about the same issue from 2010: http://www.escapeforum.org/forums/f9/maxx-fan-599.html


The solution for that one was a new motherboard, but you'll need to read the thread to make certain you're having the same issues.

You have a remote? Isn't that AI

Thanks Donna.
Sounds like my problem. And since I am still under warranty, the MB should be free anyway.

BTW: We are in Myrtle Beach this week enjoying a trip with our new F150. I was getting 19/14 with the Frontier. The Ford is getting 23/14. Only 2111 miles so far, so I am hoping for some improvement in tow mileage.
