The contact replaced the thermostat and stated that there were no leaks in the heating coil. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that the reactor could have been the cause of failure. The current and failure mileages were 133,700.

The contact owns a 2003 Ford Explorer. While driving approximately 40 mph the heater stopped working. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who stated that the temperature blend door needed replacing. The vehicle had not been repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000 and the current mileage was 150,000.

While out of town, vacationing and touring for fall colors, I lost all power to the climate control system after a short coffee stop. When I started my Explorer I notice I had no heat, fans, defroster or power to the climate control system. Thinking I had blown a fuse, I opened the owners manual and checked the fuse diagram pages for the system that was not working. I checked all the fuses indicated but, I found none of them had blown. After detouring and heading for the local small town, I purchased an emergency fuse replacement and tester kit as it was now getting dark, trying to continue re-checking any fuses (while in the confined and most awkward place to install a fuse control panel under the dash board on the drivers side) was going to have to wait till daylight. On my return to my campsite I change the head lighting from auto to manual and pulled out on the knob to turn on the fog light system. As I did this all power to my climate control system returned and was working normal again. This could have been a real problem as the next morning I woke up to frost and 0` temperature and overcast for the day.
