niteshiftfromkc Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have a 2013 Edge that has the My Ford Touch system. The other night it was around 72 degrees outside with high humidity, so the water vapor was condensing on the windshield. Instead of constantly running the wipers, I will usually turn the defroster on with heat to keep the condensation off. I didn't get anything above the ambient temperature out of the vents. I am wondering if there is something in the software for this touch screen that limits the heater from coming on if the outside temperature is too warm, or if it may be something else entirely like a bad thermostat. I didn't have any problem with the heat last winter. Thanks for any help on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 What did you set the temperature at? The defrost air will be at a level depending on what you set it at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteshiftfromkc Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I had the temperature set on high...still wouldn't get above the outside temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 When you have the air set on dash vents (towards the face) do both sides don't get heat or only 1 side? Could be a blend door actuator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteshiftfromkc Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I had the control set on defrost for the windshield. I also tried going to the vents on the front of the dash and they were all the same. It just wouldn't get above the outside temperature. That's why I am wondering if there is something in the programming that will limit the amount of heat with respect to the outside air temperature.

enigma-2 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Had the car warmed up for 10-15 minutes, or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteshiftfromkc Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yes, in the 30 minute drive it never got hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zip89123 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) For whatever reason I cannot copy/paste here. So on that note, search this forum for the same issue that shows how to do a reset on the HVAC. Another course of action is search YouTube for Ford Edge No Heat and look for a video by Mark O'Brien that shows how to do a reset. Apparently this issue arises for many this time of year. The info needed is in post #9. Edited September 23, 2017 by zip89123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
