Heater stuck on and i live in FL! Please help!
2003 f150, My power windows/locks, radio (but not radio lights), wipers, and cruise control have all quit. also, the heater valve is stuck in the heat position
All these things stopped at the same time. so i am positive they are related. Went to the ford place and they instantly say the computer is bad, and want $100 to test their claim, but the engine runs great, no codes, and no other issues. Please help. i have taken the drivers window off the tracks just to survive my daily comute. i have had someone suggest the ignition switch may be bad and also is there a way to manually disengage the heater valve?

So Many Things; So Few Answers:
....don't have a clue as to the basis for your troubles, but, in order to survive and put away the sweat rags, go under the hood, disconnect the heater hoses at the firewall and plug them up, or just put in a piece of tubing as a temporary bypass.
