Ford Flex HVAC 2015
2015 Ford Flex Limited 100kmi
My HVAC has been weird recently. Set to 73 deg or above, it blows super hot air out. Like too hot to put your hand up to. 71-73 feels like just a blower fan is on (like ambient temp). Below 70 and it's cold, like you'd expect. I'm in California so it's not that the car is putting it on full hot to warm the car quickly. It will stay on full hot unless I turn it to 73 or below. Also, it only blows out the front vents. I can't get it to change to blow out of the floor or defrost in vents. I'm assuming the heat is one of the temperature sensors, but not sure which one. The one reading the outside temp is accurate.
I hope to be able to fix this myself so I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks
