The panel control directs the air to the right vents as it should. But the air blowing out is always very hot, like the heater is on and set to high. What is the problem?

If the air blowing out of the ventilation registers is very hot, regardless of temperature setting, I would verify the temperature blend door actuator is working. To access this part requires removing the passenger side lower instrument panel insulator, just below the glove box. There will be a small plastic white box with an electrical connector leading to it, secured to the heater box with three 7mm screws. This is the "motor" that moves the temperature blend door to the desired position, based on operator command. If you want detailed photos of this, leave me your FULL Yahoo e-mail.

Hi I have this same issue with my 2002 Taurus hot air non stop is going through my vents w climate control (no knobs) I checked A/C clutch is working, pipes from A/C are very cold i recharged R134a and is around 50 PSi it seems like a/c is working non stop on high pressure I checked also this blender valve seams to me not working (I changed temp on climate control panel no movement at all) then i open valve manually and there was difference with air flow is louder (like it was directed in to different direction - vents) but no difference with temp. Any ideas ?

First thing to do is to open the hood and with the engine running look at the
ac compressor pulley, the belt will be spinning it but is the center section of the pulley turning? That would indicate that the clutch is working and it is calling for the AC. If it isn't, then usually it is the low pressure switch holding it out and the system needs to be repaired (usually a bad seal) and then recharged. If you just add R-134a then you will have to do it at least every year. So do it once and do it right.

Bring it to a dealership and let them see if the blend door motor is bad... It's a electric motor that changes the actual door between the evaporator(cold) and the heater core (hot) .. if it goes out, it usually gets stuck on the last setting and apparently yours might have gotten stuck....
common issue....
also need to check to make sure a/c compressor is running and running correctly with the proper amount of charge... but I think the first thing is your problem

well i would definately try recharging your air conditioner they sell the recharge bottles at any auto store for around $25-$30....( IF taken to a shop it would be $100-$150) if not that then it could be the heater bypass valve allowing the hot air in....much luck with solving the problem hope this helps

i believe they run on vacuum and i have had it go bad on other cars just go to your local salvage (junk)yard ask about it and they will tell you if you need a new (used) unit remove the one in your dash and replace it just make sure you replace the hoses correctly. good luck ps. they are about $35 at last check

you may need to have your AC charged. Just like your home AC it needs freon or to be charged. I would take it toa mechanic.
