2003 ford windstar heat/advance track Sign In

I have a 2003 windstar. When I step on the break, often the check advance track message comes on dash although the advance track continues to work ok. Also, with heat/air. There is a thumping/drum beat sound coming from dash. Gives cool air but not warm. When moving bar from cool to warm, tone of beat sound/thumping changes. Thanks for any help.

Have the codes pulled on the traction issue. Any shop that can diagnose ABS issues should be able to handle this. The traction control and ABS work together. The cooling issue sounds like the blend door actuator motor has gone out. Sounds like the gear inside the motor has stripped out. Usually when they just fail rather that strip they will fail to heat.

Thanks for the feedback Jeff. Goodluck with the hurricane if you are in its path.
