air conditioning

I have a 2007 XLT Explorer. My AC only works on fan settings 2 and 3 (1 and 4 basically turn off the air.) I've changed the blower motor resistor as well as the switch on the dashboard, neither of which solved the problem. 2 and 3 also work when I switch to any of the other settings on the right...

Ok, so on my 2014 XLT with the 8" Sync 2 screen controls, it's been acting a little weird lately. For a while now, when the AC is running and the compressor would come on, the engine would surge where the RPMs would drop for a second. NOTE: It's been doing that for a few years. However, the...

Hey mates, I did some work on my Exploder today, and part of that was checking the AC refrigerant as my AC isn't blowing cold air at all. The gauge showed that the system was full but no cold air comes out. The person helping me stated that he could hear the compressor switching on. I am not...

About 6 years ago I ripped out my old non-functioning AC system that had been sitting empty for 15 years and swapped in a couple of ranger parts to make it heat only. At the time I lived in a cold wet place and never envisioned needing AC. Fast-forward to the present and I find myself living in...

Hey folks. My 95 Explorer has well running regular AC, but just this past week when I set it to MAX, it changes over and blows fine for a few seconds and then slowly something closes and no more air of any kind blows. You can feel something slowly closing as the air goes from blowing hard to...

Just had the a/c wiring harness changed that includes the vacume reservoir and the check valve. Now when I switch to Max a/c the volume of air is reduced and sometimed nothing comes out. I thought it might be the blend door or actuator but that just controls heat and cold temp not the air...

Searched threads to no avail, sorry if this is duplicate post. 02 Explorer, 107K Miles. Recently replaced a/c clutch & recharged system. The "air direction" dial has been a little finicky since I got it at 102K miles. A week ago, a seal blew somewhere in the system (I have yet to find where)...

ew Member I'm new to forum and glad to be here. My 2010 explorer 4x4 ,when AC is on it only blows on floor and defrost. Sometimes when I hit the brakes it will blow out the dash. Vehicle has 200,000 miles. Any sugestions? Thanks

Our Explorer had 36,700 miles on it and "in service" time was three years one month. The A/C quit blowing cold and the dealer says evaporator is leaking. I thought Ford might cover it under the 36K/3 year warranty because it was so close but they would not, despite me pleading my case on their...

The AC works, and I am happy with that. However, settings 1 and 2 are like someone has a coffee stirrer straw lightly blowing through it to cool me off. Setting 3 is decent, but not strong enough for my liking. Setting 4 (the final setting) is like turning it up to volume 11! It has a very...

Hey all! I'm new here. Finally became a member because I've got a question. I've got a 1994 Explorer XLT. It had been sitting in a garage for a number of years before I bought it. That was last October. Since I live in Idaho the AC hadn't really been too much of a concern. Now I'm down in...

My AC compressor belt spinning the compressor seems to engage and disengage every 10 or 15 seconds whether is is on or of.. So I am assuming that it is a problem with the clutch. I know that this is probably not be a sport trac specific issue and I will go elsewhere to find the answer but this...

Replaced all AC components. Filled with R134A. From a cold start AC works fine. Once the system is shut off, the compressor goes into short cycling mode. Let the vehicle cool down for 30 minutes AC works fine. Shut the AC or the vehicle off and the compressor goes into short cycling and air not...

Hey Guys, So it is super hot (in the 90s in SC) and I need to replace the air conditioning compressor on my v8 4x4 '04 Explorer. Can anybody offer any advice on the easiest way to remove the compressor? It doesn't appear going through the top is an option, and it looks really tough to go...

Hi all, This is on a 2003 Explorer XLT 4.0L V6 Turned my air on on the first really hot day (85F+) left it run and was warm. So I charged it up, worked great, then on the second day after that it was running warm again. It runs somewhat cool when the temperature outside is cool, but I'm...

First off, hello everybody! This site has been my Google go-to for most questions concerning my Explorer, so I figured I might as well join in the conversation. Now that we have that out of the way, here's my predicament. I've got a 2002 V6 Explorer XLT. The little vacuum lines under the hood...

Hey guys, So I'm new around here but am coming in with a problem that has me completely stumped. I have an 07 Sport Trac Limited V8 that has recently begun throwing warnings of overheating while running at highway speeds with either the AC or Cabin Vent on. Once the temperature rises...

I have read through infinite forums looking for help, and it seems like I'm running out of things to try. My 99 Explorer blows hot air from the AC when it's hot outside. I have checked pressure and both HI and Low are in the ballpark. I replaced the relay, the clutch cycling switch, and have...

I"ve been slowly working on getting my heater and AC working. As part of that, I replaced the AC/Heater control deck in the cab using the instructions I found in the dash removal thread here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=248021&highlight=dash+remove When I went to...

'98 4.0 SOHC Im repairing the AC and I purchased a new drier but the damn thing doesnt line up properly. Hers is the one i bought. http://www.amazon.com/Four-Seasons-83014-Accumulator/dp/B001LMWA6I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405741698&sr=8-1&keywords=Four+Seasons+83014+Accumulator But...

Hey folks, Big thanks to the active forum members. This is a great place for fellow lovers of the Explorer. I have been having A/C issues for some time. Now I'm sure most of you at this point are already thinking to yourself "blend door actuator" but I don't believe that is the problem. My A/C...

Hey folks, Been researching all day and have learned a lot of good stuff. Man this site is a valuable resource. My air within my air conditioning system does not change vents. A tiny bit of air is coming out of the main vents, but most air is coming out of the defrost vents up by the...

1996 Explorer XLT 4.0L OHV One of my AC hoses is cracked and the refrigerant has leaked out. The compressor is new about a year ago. I've order the replacement Discharge and Suction Line set. I'll probably replace the lines this weekend. I've searched the forum for guidance; my question...

I've searched the forum for a couple days, but I'm not sure what to do. Apologies if this has been covered already. My AC blows warm, but everything else works. I got an AC pro kit, and measured the low side pressure, which was only slightly low. I filled it, rechecked, and nothing. Waited a...

My car experienced AC failure in the Central Valley, it was approx. 97 outside and the AC just stopped working. I had to do a master reset on the Sync a few days earlier, not sure what effect that had if at all. The car was also shaking and jumping a lot when my foot was off the petal...
