I Have a 97 Ford Explorer Sport! No matter where I set the Heat/AC Controls nothing but hot air comes out the defrost! If I put it on AC max the condenser is getting cold and compressor clutch is kicking on & turning on and off and when i turned the temperature control knob some times it sounds like the door is working for the temp door any suggestions? I was thinking it has something to do with the vacuum lines but when it comes to vacuum lines I'm lost PLEASE HELP!!!
I unscrewed the 3 Knobs that control the heating and A/C I used my test light on all the Cables on the back side of all the knobs and they all have power but the 5 Vacuum lines Yellow, Red, Blue, White, and Black and I don't Feel anykind of sucksun or blowing from the lines

You may have 2 entirely different problems here. The only common component is the control head. The mode selector is vacuum controlled and the temp control is an electric actuator.
Is there any history here like has some one had it apart?

I have a similar problem. My Max A/C works fine (though lower airflow), but the regular A/C only blows hot air. The vacuum chamber(?) (box against the firewall) was moved to make room to replace the hood hinges and then moved back. The vacuum door opens and closes audibly, but only cold air blows with the max A/C on. Also, if the air is cold and the car is turned off for just a few minutes, it takes the same amount of time for the air to cool off upon restart as it would if the car was started cold.

If you have a question, please start a thread of your own. Don't hijack someone else's.
