WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When DEFROST is selected:
- The air inlet door vacuum control motor is at no vacuum, admitting only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The floor door, panel door and defrost door vacuum control motors are at no vacuum, directing airflow to the defroster duct and the side window demisters. A small amount of airflow from the instrument panel A/C registers and floor duct will be present.
- The heater control valve is at full vacuum when the temperature selection is in the full COOL position, preventing the flow of hot coolant to the heater core. Otherwise, blended air temperature is available.
- The A/C request switch will not illuminate and will be disabled. To reduce fogging, the A/C compressor will operate automatically if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is on.
- The auxiliary blower motor is enabled, if equipped.
