HVAC Controls Won't Change? - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

simplyxtremecc · 06-17-2006, 10:46 PM

2000 XLT SOHC, manual HVAC controls

AC Blows COLD, but only to my feet and to the rear passengers. My fan works fine, the temp varies as it should, but I cannot get anything going to the panel vents. I hear air rushing in the dash, and some of it seems to go to my feet, and possibly even some to the defrost vents, but I am unsure of the rest. There is no problem at all for the rear vents/controls, but I'm the driver, and that's who I'm most concerned about when it comes to keeping cool...LOL.

I'm assuming that I have a vacuum issue, but I'd like to get some input on where to start looking. I only discovered the issue today, and have yet to make time to crawl under the dash to search for blend door, etc. I just thought it rather odd that I couldn't change where the air was going at all.

check the blend door, Thats what opens and closes to move the air to the proper set vents, good luck, Jon
