If it was working but then stopped I would check the pressures and see what stopped working.

I haven’t tried the gauges yet but I did get it back to blowing cold air. My climate control button has been acting weird too and isn’t responding properly. I’m starting to think there’s an electrical issue. The air speed button is fine but the climate control button acts very wonky.

That is possible, there are a lot of electronics behind those buttons. Might be worth it to get one from a salvage yard and see if things change. If it was blowing cold it may not be the refrigerant system but the controls. Do you have the automatic system (Set it to 70 and it does the rest) or the manual controls? They use a few different parts.

For that one you still need a scan tool to pull the FICM build info out of the current one and then put that into the replacement. Why they want everything to be a computer is just annoying, Especially for heater controls. Also look up all the options your vehicle has, Ford made different FICM assemblies for each option! At least with the manual controls it drops to three possible units.

It’s been kinda difficult finding the radio part for my year (2016), would going up one year be possible if it’s the same part?

Have you looked on ebay? It looks like there were 3 units available with the manual temp controls. One with heated seats and satellite - DS7Z18842T One with heated seats but no satellite - DS7Z18842AA And the base version with no sat or heated seats - FS7Z18842DA
Search using those and there are a bunch that show up.
