Sorry didn t encounter this issue, even do I have a tire sensor that gives me lost signal sometimes at highway speeds.
Your best bet will be to pay the $65 for the diagnostics and then visit a junkyard and get the module you need.

You need quite a bit of torque to move the door.....the reason the motor gets broken is that the teeth and linkages are plastic and that plastic ages, given the torque needed they break.
I will say take the risk and replace the motor is only $40 or cheaper on ebay.

No door being stuck is not a common issue, for sure what you did is not creating any safety issue. My wife X at this point blows air only from front vents , no defrost or floor vents....it is to cold to work on it so I am waiting for the spring. In your case I think the gears moving the door are stu...

Does the airflow comes only from front vents no matter what you select?
If yes it is the actuator motor.
Try to run the diagnostic for the climate control is a combination of buttons I forgot it search here on forum it will give you a fault code.

That is the case with alot of cars not only Taurus X, same was with my old car 2000 Dodge Intrepid and went to 400k also....now depends if you pull the short straw or not.

Yes it is possible but to much of a pain, you should get also the wireing from the donor car, also the gps antena, the reason you need to consult the dealer is to see if your car had the gps system as an add on, if it did the wireing is there ....if it is not you have to change the radio harness

Happy Hollydays, get yourself for Christmas one of those ELM bluetooth ODBII readers and download Torque Pro software it will give you alot more stats about your engine and is more acurate than the dashboard info.

If it has black deposits that means unburned gas , means running rich .....hence low gas milleage.

Is your exhaust tip black inside? Or clean?

Right now 12l in the past 1k....is around -6 to +1C by me, wifes 11l ....I am in Newmarket

Lol summer? In summer I get 11l my wifes gets 10l......granted my driving is 60% highway 40% city.
I do not let the car idle for more than 3 minutes , it warms up faster driving it.
I tend to drive in a "fluid"way no hard braking or accelaration.
Btw did you changed your air filter?

Canada.....not that warm

Now on mine with 400k I average 11-12l/100km wife one averages 11l/100k with 200k on board .

Unless you use third world country gas there is no need for cleaners, or if your engine has blowby and alot of burned gas gets on injector heads. Your fuel consumption issues is not from dirty injectors....a dirty injector will squirt gas not spray, your idle will jump and the engine will not run sm...

In colder weather you will get worse mileage , also the gas gets reformulated for winter ...as a test try a tank of premium gas from Shell with no ethanol...if the mileage improves you have and answer if not .....you do have a problem.
