Alrighty, to start off... my heater doesn't work. It only blows out cold air. Second, my turn signals all of a sudden doesn't work anymore. 2 days in a row! Whats the deal, could it be fuses? Im going to check the fuse box first thing in the morn. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Your turn signals have to be a fuse, have you checked those yet??? Welcome to the site ;)

When your heater is blowing out cold air, what does your temp guage read? If it is reading cold, then your thermostat is stuck open. Get a new thermostat and gasket, and that should fix your problem. Check the flasher for your turn signals.

Checked all the fuses, they work fine. Just installed a new thermostat and gasket the other day, works fine. Called ford up, seems that explorers have this prob quite often. The peices to fix it are around $250. My turn signals, I still have figured out yet. I guesse I'll check the bulbs tonight.
 






Doubt its the bulbs. It will either be the flasher(not sure of the location) or the multifunction lever which also seems to be a common problem. The blend door sticking is also common. Normally it gets stuck in the heat position though :p There is a fix on here if you search for blend door.
 






Your heater core could also be clogged.
