More Ford design garbage.

Bring back the dynamic duo. I can’t stand y’all.

FORD. Fucked Over Reliability Design

Does it effect the heat at all?

Your hands... Are soooo small... I couldn't fit my hand past my knuckles in there cutting where you did. No wonder people cut the whole thing out.

Where can I buy a cover

Thanks for making this Video it'll help a lot of People that don't want use Saw on it...

Thanks for this demonstration. It would have taken a long time to think of loosening those screws. It isn’t a practical way to add and remove batteries. I’ve had my Bass Rockman since 1985ish and simply used AC.

thanks your solution in cutting the plastic housing to make a free hang hinge definitely was a smarter idea than szaw szawing a big hole in the plastic.. ive been having the opposite problem though. air cycles 1..2...3 all worked but my 4 was out.. im thinking to get the back out that people arent sure how to get to you gotta go under the hood to access it behind your cruise control motor and winshield wash resevoir

My 2005 explorer ac is blowing hot air do you think that's the problem ?? I put freon. I'm not sure if stuck closed??

Hi there, I would like to buy one of these battery doors from you, can you please contact me? [email protected] Thank you very much. Luca

Just my two cents. You can install this cabin air filter above the blower www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=489028&jsn=7 Fits perfectly.

I just use a coin to remove the cover like it says in the manual. 30 years later and it still hasn't broke.

Thanks bro for the tip got it fix in 10 min

Same problem with my 03 explorer, I did what this guy did after finding and screwing open the failed actuator arm behind the vents above the center console and they still didn't blow correctly. My door fell above the squirrel cage as well was full of leaves. I just took the door out and removed the living hinge door altogether....blows like a hurricane now.

USE FLEX SEAL!!!

Thanks for your video. After watching, I opted to cut a small rectangular 2"x3" hole in upper housing, lifted door up, and pinned into place (for recirculate) with 3/8" dowel rod which I secured with a screw to front of housing. Did not worry about closing hole since now operating in recirculate mode. Fix works great. Not sure I could be bothered to do partial pull of dash to replace the door -- in which case I would cover my 2x3 hole -- I saw link www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2008/08/2003-ford-explorer-ac-not-cold-enough/ describing a how-to which does leave a few details not well explained. (My Car 2005 Explorer)

by removing the three bolts/nuts, can that get access to the cabin filter? I have the Ford 2005 explorer. identical to yours /set up as i removed glove box as in your video. And is there even a "Cabin filter" at all on my Explorer ?

Great video! I was able to do this in about 20 minutes. Little tough to fit my hand in there but I got it. :)

remove dash replace door, done many of them in dealerships.

Helpful, thanks! The connection was bad the first tiime I put the batteries in, now it's perfect! LED blinking; zero noise. I just found out it's much better to used batteries- the adapter introduces noise and hum. Now I finally have a clean sound!!!! I had suffered for years literally thinking it was a faulty cord or guitar- the whole time it was the adapter and no doubt noise in our household current. Next step will be to buy rechargable batteries....

Could you just leave the door flap off? Mine seems to be working fine without the door flap. Or is it better to put the door flap to cut of the fresh air? I live in Texas and it doesn’t get that cold. And so far it seems to keep up in the summer. Any thoughts?

It is too hard to fit back.. did it with long strips..

Thanks, i had the same idea but I didn't want to risk braking the part! Now with your solution I think I will give a try! You are right its been made that way on purpose so we can take our cars to repair and spend just about $12,000 dollars Imagine 🤔 how many cars there is for the same fix or problem $1,200x 200,00 units $240,000,000 get it?

After 8 years of it being broken I just fixed it in about 20 minutes. Thanks for this video!

Thanks so much for this video. AC on the wife's car just wasn't cutting it, after watching this video and a little elbow grease I got the AC blowing nice and hard. Quick and easy fix.

will that fix the weak vent issue ?

Anyone try glueing the arm back together

Is this located behind the glove box? Or in the engine compartment?

Thanks for posting this. It was extremely helpful in solving my air flow problem in a 2003 ford explorer. With summer here and my ac not blowing air it has been frustrating.

Man, I've been fighting with mine all morning. From trying to completely disassemble it and pull it out to repair it properly, to getting pissed after busting my finger and violently attacking it with a giant flat head screwdriver. I just want you to know that after spending hours watching videos on youtube trying to get ideas on how to handle this, I watched your video and went out side with your approach. Got my handy dandy utility knife and fixed mine just like yours in not even 5 minutes. THANKS SO MUCH MAN!! I wish everyone on youtube facing this problem would find your video first. Such an awesome and easy approach. Take care my friend.

Does not show me on a 2007 Ford explore how to change the air filter you’re showing me 2002 at 2004 but not a 2007

Where does one get these magical covers??

No video on how you got in there? Just vague stuff about you cut something? -1

thumbs up for cowbell
