Ford F150 AC Problem

My vents on my 2003 Ford F150 will not work on the AC. Cool air still comes out when the AC is set to Floor. AC sounds like air is going somewhere, but will not come out of vents. What could be the problem?

    My F150 Lariat Super Cab is having A/C problems. When on Max output the AC blows through the vent as is suppose to. After about 2 min, you can hear the change coming, and air sounds like it is blowing louder but sounds as if it is blowing into the dash and not out the vent.



    Is it a vacuum line?

There is a vent opening linkage for the top vents if you had removed panel for sterio install this linkage might have come loose or the wiren to electric relay to open top vents came loose

also vent doors on front of a/c vents are turned to the closed position

also quite possible the passenger blower motor compartment door in side the blower mode has something blocking entrance

also your truck might be equiped with a blower motor filter i read that these need to be changed out during normal filter replacements the filters for ford i didnt know they started using filters for a/c on reading this since 2000

Rear Floor Vent heat only

Sounds like your heater coolant hose door flap is broken or loose. May want to check behind the heater controls, if your components are mechanically operated. If electronically, may need to perform more troubleshooting before replacing this component.

The ac on my 1998 ford ranger only blows out the defrost vent and floor vent. How do I fix it?

Almost sounds like the actuators are inop. depending on which style you have, some are electrical motors and some are vacuum. These control the mode doors which move to deflect air to various vents.

Ford F150 2003 When I press the max cool on the AC the air comes out of the windshield defrost vent iinstead of the cabin vents and is not as cold as it use to be. Summer in Texas Help !

You did not mention if the system you have is electronic(digital control) or manual(control knobs) but what your problem is, is a vacuum leak. Defrost and heat or the default postions for no vacuum. If it works ok until you press max air Then you will need to check the outside blend door vacuum motor. It will be the white vacuum line going from the control head.

Compressor comes on but no cool air has freion and vents blow

Your vehicle has the R-134 system. These systems usually don't have a charge site glass window. Just because the compressor turns doesn't mean the system is full. You need to hook up the hi and lo side of the system to evaluate the systems operation. Too much R134 will adversely affect the performance of the system producing warm air. You could have a bad expansion valve contributing to the systems malfunction. You can find the problem by hooking system to a set of manifold gages.
