check coolant levels and i dont get heat till the operating temp is at normal too. i think no one gets heat till then unless they have a magical truck. the air is heated by your trucks coolant system, thus operating temps matter.:professor:

no i mean no fan on or anything, untill it reaches operating temp then the fan comes on and heat will come, the vent or a/c doesnt work either, or radio some days. Last year this never happen and it was in negative tempsp

Im not saying this is whats up with your ford, but i had an older 1987 toyota sedan, with under 70k and was in excellent condition did the same thing. it wouldn't allow the blower motor to blow cold air at me. unless the air was warm, so if it was warm air, it would work okay, but when it got up to operating temps it would blast heat. the crazy things cars had back then.

ummm, check grounds first, then fuses, and from there idk. it sounds like you may have had moisure at one time that is now freezing somewhere. that or the grounds could be dirty from the new england salt!

and the ONLY thing to spray on connections is WD-40

WD= water dispersant :exactly:

I would definitely say something got wet ...maybe between yesterday and today with the warmth ...it will HEAL itself

I like fords BUT these kinds of things DRIVE ME NUTS !!:exactly:
