Is the speedometer and A/C somehow connected/related?
My speedometer is out and my A/C is not blowing cold. Someone said if I fix one it might fix the other by saying it's something to do with the instrument cluster. You think this will work? 2004 Ford F-150 Lariat
They might run off the same module. I'm not a mechanic though. Go to the Ford F-150 forums and ask.
I very much doubt they are related.
No. Fix the speedometer first. You do not want to get a ticket for speeding.
Check for codes with a scan tool. If you are not having problems with the transmission, it is likely a bad cluster.
Fix the AC next. What is wrong with it? Check if the compressor clutch is engaging when you turn the AC on. If it does not, check for power at the coil connector and check for good compressor ground with engine running and AC on. Power and ground is good, the clutch coil has failed. Power is not present, replace the AC relay. Still no luck, it is time to see an AC shop with gauges.
I doubt they are related.
- Are Station wagons related to Mini Vans? I heard that the Ford D186 platform cars are Ford Windstar, Ford Taurus, and Mercury Sable. Because these three cars are on the exact same platform I think the Ford Taurus Station wagon model (1986-2007) is the smaller version of the Ford Windstar minivan. So are Station wagons a more smaller version of minivans (ex. Ford Taurus and Windstar)?
- If i put bigger rims on my car will that somehow screw up something with the car? I have a 2002 Ford Explore XLT V6 engine. It currently has the original 15' rims but i wanted to upgrade them to a 24' chrome. I been told that it will screw up the bar that connects them the wheel and after a few months the top of the wheels will move inward and that would screw everything up. Is it true? I know that the speedometer would get messed and i would have to fix that so far.
