Rear A/C problems
2002 Explorer XLT 2WD. The rear air conditioner in this thing makes a clicking noise constantly, even when the A/C is off. I can try all different combinations of the three A/C controls (front, overhead, rear overhead, hot/cold, vent/floor) and occasionally it will quit. I'm pretty sure it's the flapper doors in the rear driver's side unit. I'm sure there's a flapper for the hot/cold, and one for the vent/floor selections. Has anyone else's ever done this? Any hints?

My unit sarted the thump,thump,thump, I took it apart, found that the white unit, was causing the noise. Not sure how to fix. Put it all back, pulled the #25 fuse, from under the driver side dash. Did this, until I get the energy to fix it the right way, (buy the part), and put it in.

No, since it is just the wife and myself in the truck, haven't given the rear heat/air problem any more thought.

Wow tnab. That's an ooolllld thread.
This is a very common problem and has been covered countless times.
The rear blend door actuator has failed. Buy a new one from Ford and replace it. Job done.
Avoid the Dorman brand aftermarket BDA. They seem to have a high failure rate.

Yea, it's easy to miss the date when you search for threads. Done it myself. No problem.
