"Never worked (passenger side 12v plug). May have been something previous owner broke but there is no obvious damage...just doesn't work"
Anonymous A., CO (2016 Ford F-250 XLT 6.2-L V8)"AC/heat/air control switches sometimes stop working. Sometimes it comes back on later, sometimes i have had to unplug/plug main battery to fix. Have not had it "officially" fixed because I can use the battery unplug/plug workaround and, usually, it resolves on its own in a day or so. (It is *not* a matter of turning the ac/heat console power switch off/on - that's been tested and doesn't work)"
