09 Explorer Help!!!

Hi guys,

I am hoping to get some help with my new to me explorer. I have my speedometer light not illuminating and my vent control doesn't change (always blows on the defrost, even when I turn the know. the a/c will cut off on the appropriate settings too). I finally turn to ford from chevy (please don't hate, I've seen the light), but these two things are quite annoying.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on what to look for?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum! Did both of these issues start happening at the same time, or did you buy the Explorer with both these issues? In other words, do they seem to be related base on when they started?

I obtained it this way, so I don't know if they are both connected.

Yesterday I found a new bulb for the speedometer and switched them out and it works now.

Still working on the vent problem.
