03 f150 a/c question

younggun21 · 04-20-2008, 09:37 PM

Its my friends moms truck the ac blows cold but won't blow out of the dash vents. It will blow out of defroster and feet but not the dash. I'm thinking vaccum line. But where, and how to fix it. Any suggestions would be awesome.

Sounds like a clog in the ducting somewhere. Does the heater work? Does anything blow out of the vents? Could try vacuuming out the ducting, or checking fuses to the blower motors.

I would start there, it's cheapest.

Welcome to the forum younggun. Think about de-energizing the airbags if digging too far.

I had this problem with a Chevy Astro van, it turned out to bo a one way vacuum valve the vent controls are all vacuum operated and default to the defrost. it is under the hood and looks like a big diode in the vacuum line going into the firewall. Dont know if the Ford is the same but it is and easy check. Hope this helps. tom
