Top comes off first, then unscrew the Media (radio/CD control unit), the 2 screws, leave the 2 silver nuts there untouched as not affecting removal. No it's not the heater resistor Nox Vidmate VLC as that controls the fan speed. This is on right side of the heater by passengers foot (by the passengers right foot is a panel with 1 screw and some clips) My mk7 Fiesta with automatic climate control came up with a fault of only blowing cold air through all the temperature settings and what ever I read on Google said the heater resistor.
But it was a failed attempt, especially because the plastic heater control unit is fragile - eg. 4 light plastic lugs with holes for the 4 retaining screwa. I removed the screws, but on pulling the Heater Control Unit past the aperture edge, one of the lugs got broken. Just spent 5 hours trying to sort out a problem with the Heater Control Unit on my 2013 Fiesta Zetec. if it's not this then go to left hand side passenger footwell there are 2 pipes these should be very hot if they aren't then youve possibly got a heating problem within the cooling systemThe actuator is only screwed on with 2 torx screws I will say one is a pig to get to I ended up using a 1/4 inch torx bit and a 1/4 spanner undoing bit at a time My 2013 Fiesta heater control unit cannot be manually reconnected to the control wires that sprang out of position in the course of selecting the direction of warm air from the heater. No it's not the heater resistor as that controls the fan speed. This is on right side of the heater by passengers foot (by the passengers right foot is a panel with 1 screw and some clips)
He informed me Ford sell this part, its basically a newer version of the BB variant. Called BC. I assume it may be better and more resistant to breaking. Automatic climate control Mk7 Fiestas have 3 actuators fitted due to all the automation and no matter how hard you google there isn't any thing out I phoned up Ford today though, guy was great and told me, this actuator, ( VP1S7H19E616BB) is found in three places throughout the fiesta heater system. We assumed for recirculation, hot and cold air, then air direction. Test the actuators by removing the 2 torx screws and operating the relevant control if actuator works then it's the flaps. Mine was the arm that went from the actuator to the hot / Cold Flap.Hi mate. I think sorted mine. It seemed like the actuator needed re-calibrated. I don't know how it did it but try the following as it worked for me. these wires have small spherical ball on the end, intended to make a secure, fixed connection. but the way they connect to the rear of the heater control panel is not secure at all). If the wire (1/4 inch end-ball) is detatched from the plastic half-dial, it could make a noise when loose from its mooring.
I think that is what happened to me when I rotated the selector wheel (dial) on the central front part of the Heater Control Unit.
After hours of frustration, the repair had to be abandoned, it was simply too difficult to service. VP1S7H19E616BC it's called. They're pricey enough, but worth it to get the heating fixed. To extract it, best use a drill (drill a hole at the very bottom of the footwell) and extra long allen keys to get the screws out, that's how I did it. actuator is behind the glove box (need to remove the glove box complete 2 pins attach it and its in front of you by the fusebox) this controls the Recirculation flap Strong control wires to operate other levers eleswhere, thus regulating the flow of warm air into the car..
Great Deal
