What is your question?
Driver's side climate shoots up to High Heat on A/C way too much, everyday. I'm on my 3rd FCIM unit and there doesn't seem to be any OEM parts. I need my current unit repaired/replaced and would consider purchasing a 2nd unit so that one should always work, theoretically. Can anyone help?
What makes this problem better or worse?
It's worse when it's hot outside
How long has your 2019 Lincoln MKT had this problem?
a few years

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. I find it very hard to believe that there "doesn't seem to be any OEM parts" on a 2019 model year Lincoln. I think more importantly, what is needed to repair the concern? There seems to be an assumption that the FCIM is the root cause of the concern. I would question that and ask what testing has been done to determine the cause of failure? Since you are "on your third unit", it makes me concerned that this is not the actual cause of the concern. I do not think that it is reasonable for you to have a spare back up unit to put in. This should not be a concern that is ongoing and outstanding. Seek guidance at a local shop near you -- I think more appropriately - what parts are actually needed? https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554. We'll gladly find you a certified RepairPal shop in your area.
Your symptoms are very common and you are not alone. These Lincoln panels all start failing with the heat driver side temperature button, and later on the problem will become worse as other buttons will also start to fail. The same will happen to other used ebay / junk yard units so your best bet is a remanufacturing service.
