I have a 96 EB with the electronic climate control, and no matter what temp settings I have set, only extremely hot air will come out on vent or heat. I love to run the vent, but it is too hot to do that. Thanks in advance for any help!

The blend door is broken...
 






It's a huge pain in the ass to fix. You should be able to find plenty of info on it though. just search the forums for "blend door fix". Or something of that nature.
 






In the meantime try using MAX A/C instead of auto and you can adjust the fan speed manually to make do on the temperature control. I have had to use that method for a couple of years now because of the damper problem. I read someplace that it was a $1,200. fix if you take it to Ford.
 






Thanks everyone, even for the bad news! :( I will do some searching for it. At least the A/C still blows cold, how I do not know, but thank goodness it works. :)
