    Defroster grille question -- 2013 Explorer XLT

    Hey guys - First-time poster. Bought my 2013 last summer and am loving it. Only issue I've had so far is an incessant rattle in the dashboard. To me, as a total newbie and non mechanic, it sounds like previous owner dropped something in there, because it moves from left side to center at times...

    Weird defrost a/c problem.

    Hey everyone, so a few days ago I turned my max a/c on and I noticed that the blower was running but my ac wasn’t coming out of the dash vents. Upon further testing I noticed that it randomly switches between max ac and the defrost vent while driving. I can also have my ac completely off and the...

    I noticed the wipers do not go when remote started. With snow starting here I find it is going to be very annoying without the wipers when remote starting. As when get out to go with vehicle will be mostly ice covered from defrost without wipers. At least with the wipers it will remove the snow...

    Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum so please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area. Anyways, the issue I'm having on my 2004 Explorer XLT 4.6 V8 is that when I turn my defrost control to either the floor, defrost/floor, or just defrost, NOTHING changes. I'm getting warm and cold air...

    Recirculating door question

    The fix I employed when the door dropped over the blower was to secure it with a dw screw covering the inlet. No more cold air in the winter, but..... My windows fog (front and side) most of the time even when defrost is on. Do I need to crack the recirculating door open to let some outside air...

    When heater is put into defrost airflow, then the heat is not as hot as in panel airflow. Is this normal? I don't have clicking noises in front, though rear AC does click and requires replacing both temperature blend and direction control motors. But this is about front module. From what I...

    Defroster Door shaft broken, Need help getting to Pleunm Chamber

    Help! I have always had poor airflow from my defrost vents. There isn't enough airflow to the windshield to keep from fogging up with more than me in the car! Long story short, I found that the defroster door on the left side of the plenum chamber is broken(so half of the airflow goes to the...

    Black Air Vent Vacuum line... blockage??

    Hi all, My air vents are stuck on "defrost" mode no matter what the selector is set to. So I need some advice reguarding the thin hard plastic vacuum line that runs from the "ball accumulator" into the fire wall and then on to the airvent actuator. It appears that there is a blockage in the...

    A/C compressor.

    My 2000 Explorer. When I turn on the heat the a\c compressor goes on. It should only go on with the defrost or defrost \ floor selection is made. Oh by the way, it doesn't stay on it, just cycles like it would if the defrost were on.

    I discovered that there was no change when I switched from defrost to floor on the climate controls. I took out the radio and other parts so that I could see the vaccuum servo motor with the yellow vacuum line...on the drivers side. It appears that this servo controls the defrost door...
