Rear Air works, Front doesn't!

On my 02 Expedition the front air doesn't work unless the rear air is turned on. Then I get cold air from the front vents. I see water dripping from the left rear of the car but nothing from under the right front. This tells me that the compressor is working, the refigerant charge is good and both blower motors are working correctly. If I shut off the rear air, the front cooling stops. I have the electronic climate control and all the buttons work as they are supposed to. Just no cold air without the rear air turned on. What is wrong?

I guess I'm alone here. No one has answered my question!

Not trying to scare you...

But sounds eerily similar to what happened to my girlfriend's mother's 1999 expedition... then after 3 weeks it caught on fire... the recalled cruise switch may have been involved/ not sure..
it was totalled...

best of luck!

Thanks newbie for your reply. I have had the cruise recall fix done on my Expedition so I don't think it will catch on fire. But it might have something to do with the front air not working unless the rear air is on. I wish my vehicle was still under warranty so I could take it to the dealer. I hesitate to take it to the dealer with me paying the tab because I have no faith that it will be fixed but am sure they will charge me for the effort.
