97 Explorer A/C problem.

steodo · 04-22-2009, 02:17 PM

before winter, my a/c was working great. When winter came along, no matter what the setting, it only blew cold air. I had the thermostat replaced. Now I only get hot air no matter where the knob on the temp setting is. Any ideas? It's already getting really warm here in Texas.

Thanks!

It sounds like your blend door hinge is broken, search for "blend door fix" there is a great article about how to fix it.

Here is the link its a pretty good write up.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread to the A/C section. I agree that it sounds like a blend door issue.

Thank you. I did get to the blend door from the glove compartment. I opened it and now I have A/C.
