As the title says the inlet door for fresh air or re circulation isn't moving on my HVAC system. I removed the glove box and saw the door 3/4 the way closed when the recirc button was on. I checked because I could smell diesel truck exhaust a when stopped at a light (not from me obviously) even though I had recirc on. Turning off the recirc didn't change anything. I can hear the motor run but the door doesn't move. I managed to move the door both directions with my finger but still doesn't move from any position when the button is pressed. I can see the motor mounted to the left of the blower box, but it doesn't look like it would be easily removed. Looking online I can't seem to find any diagrams or instructions on how to remove or repair the motor or driveshaft to the door online. All I found was generic ford blend door motor issues on other ford models. Anyone have any diagrams, instructions or advice on how to fix? TIA

Just wondering if anyone knows what the size (metric or SAE) and thread pitch the bolt for the rear engine mount is on a 2012 Transit Connect XLT. The one that goes vertically into the cross member. The bolt had to be cut out when trying to replace the engine mount as it was seized to the alloy center part of the mount. Tried everything possible to get it out without cutting it but no luck. Looking at the parts diagrams available, it is part # w500526s439 or #6 in the diagram attached. Trying to find a replacement today and I would guess the Ford dealer would be special order.

Same issue here for the last couple of years. Same geographical location and year/model vehicle too. Somethings definately freezing. Once I park it in the sun (facing the rear bumper) it goes away next time I go to use the van.

Hello, I have a 2012 ford transit connect XLT with the power window switches for both the driver and passenger windows in the center console beside the e-brake. This van is used for work and usually the switches end up getting covered by something being placed in that area for storage. Kinda a pain when you need to open the window and have to move a bunch of stuff to get at the switches. I know I could just not place anything there, but I always find myself needing a place to put stuff within reach and therefore this spot gets used. I plan on making a custom center console with an armrest and storage compartment shortly, and would like to relocate the switches to the doors (like every car I've ever ridden in has them). Just wondering if anyone has completed this or if there is any parts that I should look for. I realize that the switches are together as one unit (with the trim) so I guess I would need another switch separately for the passenger side door. Please give me your advice. Thanks

Hello, Our sun visor on the driver side keeps falling down off the round plastic pivot thing. It seems like there should be some retaining clip or something to hold it up there.... not sure. Does anyone have a diagram? Its a 2012 ford transit connect XLT. Thanks
