Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

Unhappy Ac recirculate switches to defrost

I have a 2002 Explorer EB. For the past 6 months we have had problems w/ the AC. When we attempt to use the recirculate AC button w/i 1 minute all air from front vents switches to the defrost vents. I was wondering if anyone else can tell me if they have had this prob? We live in AZ and need the cooler setting for the climate here. Taking to dealer this week.
Just noticed last week the 4x4 settings that we have used one time are not engaging as well.

It's possible the motor that controls the ducts/vents is flaky. That or some of the wiring. That's one of the drawbacks of these systems. Could also be the vent controller too..depends on how its all wired in.

Anyway I have a similar problem, where my vents are all on at the same time in the front no matter what setting I put it on. Kind of irritating, but should be a quick fix ... hopefully not expensive lol

Gonna track down a factory service manual so I can break this out
