Thanks, but they only offer to repair the one I have. I don't have the time, nor the desire, to have my entire dash disassembled for 30-45 days.Call them if one isn't listed.

What is the part number on the tag on the FCIM? Or post a picture.
I haven't taken it apart.
I would avoid getting another unit? If stock it will fail. The circuit board is weak because it's NOT a push panel but a TOUCH panel!
Well most people don't know this and keep pressing and pressing on the buttons. This cracks the circuit board behind the buttons. Mine got broken when we had the windows tinted. Yes I did not see the connection either until I talked to the installer. What he did was install the tint and then started the car and ran the temperature control to max to dry the film out. Apparently pushing and pushing on the temperature button to make it go to max.
So when the wife got in the car to drive it home no matter what she pushed after releasing the button the temperature would just climb right back to max heat. This was in July and 90+ degree heat!
Sent mine in for repair and have been very happy with the results. Another GREAT suggestion I got on this forum! So Thanks again SHO Forum it's an amazing resource for us DIY guys.

On my MKS I had the situation where the fan speed would increase on it's own. Like you, for the time I've owned the car, I had used the Auto setting. But I took the FCIM out (not a bad task) and confirmed that the capacitive switch IC was bad. I attempted to source a replacement IC to no avail, so I did end up buying a used but working FCIM to replace mine. I saved the old one in the hopes that if my replacement FCIM failed again I'd be able to pull good ICs from it and swap them over. I still have that old FCIM with several good ICs. I'd be happy to try swapping out the offending IC for you, or sending you one of the good ICs for you to swap out if you're comfortable with a soldering iron and SMT components.

Thanks for the kind offer. This car certainly has a mind of its own. Drove it around today and everything worked fine. As the battery is approaching three years of age I might try and replace it first. Thanks again.

It's worth a try. At least with that age on the battery you're not really wasting money to replace the battery.

Update:
I installed a new Odyssey Extreme AGM a couple of days ago and reset the BMS in Forscan. So far, the climate control is working fine and not shutting off on its own.
I also loaded the latest LMS tune and they appear to have fixed the rough shifting issue. Much smoother shifts now.

As the weather gets colder, this stupid thing has decided to go loco again. I'm seeing EG1Z18842EA as the replacement part but can't find one anywhere other than used ones on Ebay. Tasca, et al., say discontinued and I really don't want a used one that may or may not work. I can't afford to have the car disassembled for weeks while I send out the stock one for repair. Does anyone have a source to find a new one?
I also had the stuck on fan switch plus the temperature control would go full hot as soon as the car was started.
I also found no new units and with the failure rate of these I did not want to take the chance on a used one. Ford lists this part as NLA.
I think you going to have to send the panel off for repair. Mine has been perfect since the repair and it's been over 3 years so far.
This is a different vendor than who I used but they are all pretty comparable. Plan on around $300 to get it done.

Front Console, have fun
Also try under interior on the top menu
Thanks. I think my strategy for now is going to be to order a used one that is cosmetically nice and send it for repair so that I'm not removing/installing everything twice. And just to vent, between my daughter's Fusion having the coolant leak between cylinders 2/3 and the ongoing BS with my SHO, I think I will never purchase another Ford product again. ****, even my "bullet proof" F150 has too many issues. WTF, Ford? Can you build anything worth a damn anymore?
smart move have that repair place fix a good one, and move onto replace yours. yeah tb fair - they "big manuf" all are sucking these days. its a rush to engineer the perfect failure so people get frustrated and get a new one. we are moving quickly to the disposable society that will only ever lease everything & anything... good luck.
