- 2002 Explorer XLT 4WD
I have a 2002 Explorer w/ manual climate controls. I get plenty of air flow from the panel vents and the defroster vents, but the air flow from the floor vents is very weak. The only way I can keep my feet warm is with the vents on floor only and the fan on high. Any other combos calling for air at the floor produces very little flow from the floor vents. The air distribution works properly otherwise.
I've checked the door actuators and both (panel vent and floor vent) doors are opening and closing as expected. I thought maybe the door wasn't fully closing but I can't really push it closed any further so I think the actuator is closing it all the way.
The recirc door is in place, so it's not blocking air flow from the blower. However, it doesn't move. I think it's stuck in the recirculate position, maybe someone can verify from this picture? If that's the case the flow would be even worse if blowing fresh air.
Does anyone have other ideas?
