The AC shouldn't run in the vent or floor position.

If you have the auto turned on, the AC will work in almost every position including vent. Push the off button, then the vent AC should now not be on. If it is, then something is wrong.

I have a 2001 Excursion and found the compressor runs when the **** is set to panel/floor (1 click right of off). I thought it was unusual and checked the manual, it is supposed to run in this position. I'm not sure about the panel only position (1 click left from off).

Ford almost always says it runs fine or it's "normal" until something blows up or goes terribly wrong.
