2013 Explorer XLT heat switches to ac

[mvhyden]

In colder weather with climate control set to AUTO, the system will switch to ac and sets temp to LO and fan on max. I try changing the temp, but it won't change. I try shutting the climate system off, but it immediately comes back on in the same condition. Usually after 4 or 5 times it will shut off. I have tried setting the temp lower, but it still happens. (I have my temp set to 70.) I've had to keep it off AUTO and manually change fan to avoid the issue. Anyone else experience this? Can't find any answers.

Welcome to the Forum.
You can try to disconnect the negative cable from the battery for 10 minutes or so before reconnecting. That has been know to fix some issues. Keep in mind that you will likely lose some saved memory settings doing this.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a try when our weather warms up a little. Currently running around 0.
