everytime we get in the car and start it, my kids complain there is no ac coming out
The rear ac is controlled through the touch screen, I go to rear control and it shows to be on full blast
I have found that if I lower the fan speed to low, theb back to full speed, it will then blow appropriately
Is there something I am missing here? This doesn't seem normal to me and I would expect the rear ac to be blowing at the same speed it was when I turned the car off
I have a 2015 Expediton Limited 4x4 - purchased new. It has the automatic climate control with dual-zone (front) temperature control.
After having used the system for 2+ years, I have found that it is very poorly designed and somewhat complicated to use - even for an experienced user. I can only adjust the rear controls (from the front seat) using the touchscreen, which requires MULTIPLE finger jabs to use.
Do you have the same system (or the base system)?
On my system, if I push "Max" - it overrides everything (except the rear a/c) and turns on the maximum cooling for the front. If I try to turn it down at some point, the fan control for the front will not operate unless I push the up and down fan control several times - then it reverts to the setting I had before I pushed "MAX".
Is it possible you have used the automatic setting, which may prevent the rear fan control from operating as set?
Is it possible you have accidentally turned on the rear HVAC control switch in the touch screen?
I have also noticed that the system will not always be set at what I had selected when I turn the vehicle off - than start it later.
Last year while in for service, the dealer service writer said there was a computer update for the HVAC system - which was done. Since then, anytime I have the a/c set for inside recirulation and (front) medium to high fan speed - then turn the selector to outside air, a loud "moan" sounds from the rear. I plan to return the vehicle to the dealer for evaluation (still under warranty).
