kbrettmurphy - if you can, post what you outcome is. I hae been dealing with this and the dealer thought there wasn't any solution really. It seems as though the Auto and the AC are tide together or in other words, it is difficult if not impossible to run the AC manually. I am trying the "MY TEMP" button on climate to see if this can be done.
When I hit "auto" to turn it off, the AC turns off as well which I don't want. This "auto" issue also comes into play in that you can't set a temp unless you are prepared to have the heat kick on when the outside air drops south of your setting - which in my mind should never happen unless I want heat. AC and Heat should be independant from each other but they are not.
I'm a new member here since yesterday. While I love my new 13' Expl Sport, I have been posting topics that I am trying to figure out whether or not its a glitch, or just design. To all the ultra proud Ford folks out there, it isn't personal. Saying "I love my Sport" covers the 90% of all the good things going on that we dont need answers on.
