| Jan 201439000 mi | In looking at what to report this time around, I saw it included things I've chosen to live with. So, here I'll report an issue I've been ignoring a long time. It's a clicking sound that is from the actuator for the defrost re-circulation door when first turning the key. It started in January of 2014 and has continued to work. I've gotten cost estimates to repair it, which only requires small hands and the proper tools (that one day I'll find to fix it myself) and the ~$50 part, but Ford and another establishment want to charge upward of $250 to do it. They say it includes diagnosis, although I diagnosed it myself. I say that is too high and as long as the defrost and the re-circulation works, I can live with the clicking at the initial turn of my key. | ||
