Ford Explorer: 2002 hot air

'02 should still be under warranty.... what does the dealer say and, more
importantly, what does the thermometer (both inside the car and outside the
car) have to say???

speeds, 

Ventilation in my '99 is totally inadequate. The vent position on the
system blows heated air no matter what. This problem does not seem to
be unique to Ford products, all manufacfturers have done away with
vents that bypass the heater system (remember when we had cowl vents
and vent wings on the front windows?). It seems like it is necessary
to run the air conditioning unless the outside conditions are quite
cool. I have not consulted the dealer on this one as I feel sure that
this is in the "no problem found" or "they all do this" category.

I think what they have done away with is shutting off coolant flow through the
heater core. On the Ex's witht he auto climate control they have a shut off
valve on the heater lines. On my 2002 EB the vent position actually seems to
work.
