Hi, my truck blows ac air when i have it on fresh air /floor or vent floor?
i thought the only time the ac was suppose to come on is when,you put the controll **** on ac/max ac? why is my ac coming on in the fresh air modes?=floor/vent,floor settings?

 

Excited, I noticed the same thing with my recently purchased 1997 F-150 Ext cab long bed 4x4. I was told from people on this post, that FORD wanted the a/c to run on most of the settings to keep the windows from fogging up, so they engineered it this way.
You should find that the a/c will NOT come on when the dial is set to PANEL or the FLOOR settings. Any of the other settings the a/c will run. I find this is annoying, it's one of those marketing ideas I guess ......There should be a shutoff switch, but the Ford geniuses feel that the masses are too stupid to know when to turn on the a/c to remove fogging. Anyway, sorry bout the long post,.....but just use PANEL or FLOOR setting and the a/c should not come on........

 

thats[ my problem ]Don25 ,my ac comes on on floor /panel settings?

 

Anybody ever leave their computer and read something other than what is on the screen? We were all supplied an owners manual with our truck. Try reading it. Don25 has clearly answered your question, and now you argue with him. It's all in the manual.

If you're just looking for social interaction, try a bar.

 

It will come on with the "PANEL/FLOOR" combo setting Excited...but not on "FLOOR" alone or "PANEL" alone.

Hurricane Larry i am NOT arguing with anyone! don25 says use the floor or panel selection and the ac does not come on or should not,maybe i am reading this wrong? My ac comes on on floor and panel setting ,does the manual state otherwise,if so then someting is wrong with my ac/controll panel?
what makes you think i am arguing anything?

 

pawn i checked again it does not come on =floor mode,but it does on panel/floor, thanks Don25 thepawn and of course Hurricane Larry for all your helpfull input.

 

Well then you must assume we all bought the truck new huh? I bought mine used and the previous owner didn't have the manual so I don't have it. Sorry that it bothers you to answer simple questions, but isn't it why this board is here?

As far as the a/c goes I found that out this weekend when I had my first long trip and it was raining. I thought, hmmmm....the fresh air must be cool and never gave it a second thought. Now that I read this it makes sense.
All the eng at Ford have to do is just add an A/C button, but that's just to simple for them.

 

That button would cost 7 cents...on their scale of production thats quite a few bucks they save.

Remember the new "diode" thingie in the 2001+ trans? Supposed to save them what, 10 cents or something?
