Low freon. Bad pressure switch, or compressor is bad.

I am not aware of any obd codes that show up for what you are describing as a 024. The blend door actuator replacement is documented: http://www.markviii.org/LOD2/blend_door_repair.htm and I would have to say that it is either bad or installed wrong.

Considering the age of the vehicle it is possible corrosion has eroded the reluctor rings, especially at the front, and increased the air gap so the speed sensor output has fallen to low levels and at lower speeds drops to zero so the brain assumes that wheel has locked even though it is still turning. A visual inspection of the rings will immediately give an indication of whether this is possibly the cause. The rings should have well defined teeth and the gap between the sensor and the teeth should be small - in the region of 1mm or less. The output of each sensor can be checked by jacking up and turning the wheel by hand after connecting a sensitive voltmeter or oscilloscope (if required). If there had been a circuit interruption; such as faulty wiring or sensors the abs light on the dash should be on and in that case a code read would be the quickest way to a diagnosis.

Remove hose that comes from engine to filter. Just remove the filter end of air hose, Remove the clamp on filter housing, then pull out filter and replace it. Reinstall the opposite from removal. God-Bless you and your family! Sometimes the air hose sticks to housing so use a screw driver to release it.

Probably something to do with ride height settings in computer trying to compensate for some reason, do you still have front air bag suspension? You could try removing fuse for suspension.

there is a high pressure switch in the ac system that cuts power to the compressor when a high pressure situation is recorded it is there to prevent compressor damage from when the gas is converting to liquid in the compressor That occurs because the condenser fan is not operating to remove heat from the condenser so check that the condenser fan ( in front of the condenser ) is working and check that the system is not over full with gas

If it failed once, it can fail again if you do not fix the problem that caused the failure. It is rare that a fuse will be the cause of a problem as it is usually. It can be that the A/C is cycling too much because of a low freon charge.

Well neither code has anything to do with it not starting. Code 411 is a problem with the air injection pump, and 1000 usually means the car has not been driven far enough yet for the computer to check all sensors. Are you saying it won't crank, or won't start ?

P1000 code means the codes were cleared or the battery was disconnected Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset Description All OBDII scan tools support the powertrain control module (PCM) reset. The PCM Reset allows the scan tool to command the PCM to clear all emission-related diagnostic information. When resetting the PCM, a DTC P1000 will be stored in the PCM until all the OBD II system monitors or components have been tested to satisfy a drive cycle, without any other faults occurring. For more information about a drive cycle, refer to Drive Cycles . The following events occur when a PCM reset is performed:

• Clears the number of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
• Clears the DTCs.
• Clears the freeze frame data.
• Clears diagnostic monitoring test results.
• Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
• Sets DTC P1000.

P0411 Secondary Air Injection System Incorrect Flow Detected neither of these could cause a no start or no crank problem . Is the battery good an do you have good connections on the battery ? Do the headlamps show bright when on ?

Is your mechanic in a factory shop > many automobiles error messages are generated by the main computer which needs to be reset by the dealership computer, Others can be reset with an OBD reader or a combination of inputs like locking and unlocking the drivers door a number of times rapidly.

no. Vacuum should only be applied under certain driving condition. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

The EGR flow rate test is performed during a steady state when engine speed and load are moderate and EGR vacuum regulator duty cycle is high. The monitor compares the actual Differential Pressure Feedback EGR circuit voltage to a desired EGR flow voltage for that state to determine if EGR flow rate is acceptable or insufficient. This is a system test and may trigger a DTC for any fault causing the EGR system to fail. Does your vehicle have the (DPFE) EGR system ? Ford EGR Flow Testing

I don't know. If there is, it will be provided by the dealer.

Hi Bill First off, here's a link that may help you. I think the main point is that once you've determined that the EGR is the problem, if you can't service it to get it to work, you replace it. Regarding your engine RPM, 10,000 to 12,000 RPM is absolutely screaming fast in my experience. That's formula 1 and motorcycle race engine speed! Must be one wicked Lincoln.
