Climate control and AC question
I'm confused about the operation of the climate control&AC on a 97 f150 lariat(newer style)
I noticed cold air ..ac running.. in the PANEL&FLOOR mode...odd
AC is off in the PANEL and the OFF mode (not sure about the FLOOR mode)
AC is on in the AC and MAXAC modes which is normal.
My manual does not state that the ac will run in the PANEL & FLOOR. Is the system running normally, or should i be looking for a problem?
Thanks

I had the same question for a ford mechanic last week (just picked my truck up last week).
I was told that it's normal. 'Floor' is apparently the only setting the AC won't work on.
I was given reasons for the AC, Max AC and Defroster settings (all of which are understandable), but none for the "Panel & Floor."
I, too, am confused.

Dave,
I think they are all the same;
(italics = compressor runnning)
Max AC
AC
Vent (panel)
OFF
Vent/floor
floor
defrost

I guess PANEL can be considered VENT on some vehicles?
