2016 Climate Control Issue
I am new to the forum because of this issue. I searched and I have not been able to find anything resembling this problem.
2016 F150 XLT Crew FX4 3.5L, single-zone climate control system. Walked out to my truck yesterday, put the key in and turned it on, the climate control settings were magically up on my screen. I am aware that you can double-click two buttons to put the display on the screen, but I know that I did not bump those and/or do it intentionally. I pushed "audio" to bring it back to the radio display and then I noticed that the fan was not working. All of the climate control lights were lit, as-normal, but the unit would not move air. There is temp control there because I can feel warm and/or cool air wafting out of the dash vent when I turn the thermostat up and down while driving. I tested the heated seats and they work too. I toggled the system on and off using both the regular switch and the touch screen with no difference. Once I got home, I parked the vehicle, turned it off, locked the doors and allowed the vehicle to go to sleep. Opened the door, started it and the fan worked fine. Came out this morning for work, started the truck, it was just as before, no fan but all the controls lit up. The fan has not worked since. The strangest part is that I can hear a barely audible clicking sound, like a switch trying to connect, under the dash board somewhere and every time it clicks the "2H" light comes on in the display. If I shut the climate control off, the clicking stops and the 2H light disappears.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. I'm confident it is something "dumb," but I don't want to start tearing anything apart with no ideas. Thank you!
