Climate Control Air Conditioning

the damper or flapper ibside the heater box is not moving. If they are vaccum actuated could be lack of vaccum or bad diafram in the actuator...replace

AC BLOWS COLD OUT OF DEFROSTER NOT THE VENTS

behind the center counsel between the floor and the heater housing is a part that is called the blend door actuator. these usually go bad and have to be replaced.

Not stated but assuming blows out at defroster or on floor? If yes, then check for vacuum leak. Trace the vacuum hose where it enters the firewall back to volume tank (possibly ball shaped) and on back to vacuum source at intake. If it attaches to a multi-line connector then also check each line that attaches for leaks. If problem not found then check line from firewall into cab. The line will go to the climate control switch and from there to the actuator on air diverter doors. Some times difficult to find but you can do it! Good luck.

Check for vacuum hose leak.

did you cheked if there is enough refrigrant ( freon ) in your tubes by measuring the pressure . if there is you may need to check your condensor its may be clogged and not letting enough air comes through to cool the refrigran

you cant adjust it ,this requires the dealers computer to re set it,or a phyiscal control has packed up like a vacumn pipe has split where it pushes onto the valve that controls the flap in the heater unit.

may be just a cable adjustment.


SECTION 412-01: Air Distribution and Filtering 2001 Focus Workshop Manual DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Air Distribution and Filtering The new heating and ventilation system ensures even air distribution.
The temperature control and air distribution flaps are controlled by two operating cables. All vehicles have a recirculated air function, with the flap controlled by a servo motor.
Air is supplied to the windscreen and side windows regardless of the air distribution setting.
The clean air filter is fitted as standard in most countries. This cleans the incoming fresh air of pollen and dirt particles. It must be renewed after every 40,000 km under normal operation conditions, or after 20,000 km under difficult conditions. If no clean air filter is installed, a plastic grille is fitted over the air intake. This can easily be replaced with a clean air filter.
Air distribution operating switch
Face level The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment at face level.
Face level/floor level The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment in equal parts at face level and floor level, and a small amount flows to the demister nozzles of the side windows.
Floor level The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment at floor level, and a smaller amount flows to the demister nozzles of the side windows.
Demist/floor level The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment in equal parts at the windscreen and at floor level, and a smaller amount flows to the demister nozzles of the side windows.
Demist The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment at the windscreen and a smaller amount flows to the demister nozzles of the side windows.
Air distribution operating switch Air distribution operating cables
NOTE: The Bowden cables for LHD and RHD vehicles are identical. However, they are fastened to the air flap operating mechanism with the respective reverse side of their connectors.
The air distribution switch operates with two Bowden cables. The cables operate the air distribution valves in the heater housing.
To remove and install the cables, the rotary switch must be turned as far as it will go to the left. The air flap mechanism engages easily in this position, making the installation of the cables easier.

Air Distribution Cable Control Assembly Removal
CAUTION: Disconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Section 414-01 .

1. Remove the radio/cassette unit and the CD player (if equipped). For additional information, refer to Section 415-01 .

1. Remove the bezel with heater/air conditioning controls.

1. Remove the bezel with heater/air conditioning controls (continued).
   • Pull off seven electrical connectors (six shown).

1. NOTE: To remove the Bowden cables, turn the rotary switches as far as they will go to the left.
   Remove the bezel with heater/air conditioning controls (continued).
   • Unclip the Bowden cables.

1. Remove the lower driver's side footwell trim.

1. Unclip and remove the air distribution Bowden cables.

1. Unclip and remove the temperature control Bowden cables.
   • Unclip and remove the temperature control Bowden cables.

Installation

1. NOTE: Route the new Bowden cables without kinks and check for easy accessibility.
   NOTE: To install the Bowden cables, turn the rotary switches as far as they will go to the left. The mechanism engages easily in this position.
   NOTE: The Bowden cables are identical for RHD and LHD vehicles, although they are fastened to the air flap operating mechanism with the reverse side of their connectors.
   Install the components in reverse order.

1. Check operation of the Bowden cables.
   

common problem, check under dash by the gas pedal if control arms are muving went selecting from ac to heat cuz this it is the control for the vents to go from ac to heat and to defrost.
