Your blend air door is vacuum controlled. There is a control servo assembly and there is a temperature sensor for the automatic climate control. The sensors fail a lot. you may have to replace the sensor and recalibrate your system. To replace the sensor assembly, you must remove the dash pad. Then disconnect the cable control, the amient air hose, the vacuum hoses and the 2 screws that hold the sensor. Otherwise you could have a bad servo assembly or a broken blend-air door. If you want to replace the blend air door, you must remoe the HVAC housing from under the dash to replace it.

The problem on this model alternator is due to burned connector at the plug with the large wires going to it and to a failing diode in the alternator diode rectifier or worn alternator brushes skipping. Just because the alternator checks good at the time of testing (they usually do) doesn't mean it doesn't have a problem, believe me I've repaired dozens of these for just this symptom. The alternator is easy to remove, just a few bolts and two connectors and the battery post. I suggest you replace the alternator and the voltage regulator on the back of it and the square connector that goes into the alternator cavity. I will bet it cures the problem. My experience? 30 years as a Ford dealer service technician.
