Shame on them for jeopardizing their customer's and nearby commuter's lives for the benefit of the bottom line!

Run it all year long. Works for both summer and winter and Walmart has it cheap.

I was running into the same issue. At times, I would have to hold the button for 8 or 10 seconds before fluid presented itself. It is an issue with these units. Took it to the dealership, and they found a couple vehicles on their lot that immitated the same problem. Of course, Ford had no knowledge of any problems existing like that. They solved the issue by installing a one way check valve that is used in the front 4WD assembly. It works flawless. 2 years have passed and never had another issue.
