Have you tried tightening the nut that holds the resistor (behind the temperature knob itself)? It's a common problem with the design.

In my case it was the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

I don't know how feasible this solution is for your specific model year; but on my 1998, I replaced the head unit with an Android. I put movies on an SD card that I hide behind the unused access panel opposite the CDL/Hazard panel.

You could try the Land Rover route:

Does the diagnostic procedure indicate a problem?

I use a BAFX as well. My Cruiser is a 1998, and I assume Torque Pro will work fine with most of the other model years.

I had a hunch, so I experimented with a 3,000 mile trip using DashCommand instead. No stalling. About a year later I tried using Torque Pro again, mostly in an effort to confirm my findings. Guess what... Engine died at the first stoplight. It's a known problem for a few model years of the Ford...

Are you using Torque Pro? I had similar symptoms and they were caused by Torque Pro.

I have an All-Top. It's currently 35% off during Amazon's Prime Days sale.

I've done this as well, but only on the driver side. Its placement on the passenger side didn't seem to work when I tried lining it up on my 98. I used to own a Discovery and missed the cup holders. Easily the best design I've experienced.

I just fished out mine. I wrapped a kabob skewer with duct tape and was able to stick the small piece to it. The huge piece fell opposite the oil fill toward the fan. See if yours fell that way. I missed it for about an hour. I accidentally posted in the 80 forum, but learned valuable information.

Crap. I just realized that this is an 80 series and not a 100 series thread. Sorry guys

just tried pulling the grommet today. I had to fish out the big piece and one of the smaller pieces. Does anyone anticipate a problem with a smaller piece remaining in the cover?

Have you reviewed my thread on A/C problems? My "smack the controls" efforts worked as well. 1998s have the old style knob controls. The resistor nut behind the temperature control knob was loose. Tightening it solved the issue for a short time. Finally, I replaced the resistor and haven't had...
