blockisle9 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Is there away to set the tempature to 63? Some times I like it cooler when wearing a winter jacket, I have to set it at 60 and lower the fan speed. I would prefer just to use auto mode, but at 60 in auto the fan blows full speed.

Hi blockisle. Short answer: No. Longer answer: When set to AUTO and a low or high temperature is chosen, the system assumes you would like it to get to your desired temperature as soon as possible, so it will set the fan to blow at full speed until it reaches the set/desired temperature. Once the interior temperature reaches the desired temperature, the system will slow the fan and regulate the temperature with lower fan speeds and warmed or cooled air, if possible. Try it sometime. Just set it to 60 on AUTO and let it run. Once the interior temp reaches 60, the fan speed will slow down, just as if it was set on AUTO at a higher temperature. Of course, that assumes your drive is long enough to allow it to reach 60. But unfortunately the low temp limit skips from 60 degrees to 65, with no middle adjustment (61-64). Good luck. :beerchug: Edited April 9, 2009 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blockisle9 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thank You, Thats kinda what I thought. I wonder why they designed it to skip 61-64 Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thank You, Thats kinda what I thought. I wonder why they designed it to skip 61-64 Thanks again! Forgive me for asking a silly question, but why would you want to use gas to run the air conditioning when you could just open your jacket? I don't think I've ever wanted it lower than 70 degrees in the winter, even when wearing a heavy jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever wanted it lower than 70 degrees in the winter, even when wearing a heavy jacket. I like it cool, jacket or no jacket. Its just annoying when 65 is just not cool enough to my liking, and when I lower it to 60 the fan clicks on to high. If I could set it to 64 or 63 in auto the fan would not blow full. 5 degrees is a big differential. Yes I could lower the fan manually but that defeats the purpose of auto. I was just wondering why they cut out 61-64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I was just wondering why they cut out 61-64. The answer must be because Ford did a lot of customer reasearch and found that nobody ever wanted it cooler than 65! You must be one in a million! I've got to beleive that if 65 is too warm for you in the winter, you'd be better off just turning the system off. It will still allow fresh outside air in.

You must be one in a million! If nobody wanted it cooler than 65, then whey have 60 as an option? I doubt Ford did any reasearch on this, my point was the engineering would have been the same either way. How many T-Stats have you seen that skips tempatures?

I doubt Ford did any reasearch on this, my point was the engineering would have been the same either way. How many T-Stats have you seen that skips tempatures? Try to pay attention this time: 60 is not a normal temperature setting. It's for MAX cooling - when you first get in the vehicle on a hot day and you want it to cool as fast as possible. Same with 90 - Max heat. They made a gap so you can differentiate between regular thermostat settings (65-85) and the MAX settings (60, 90). And I don't know anyone who wants it colder than 65.

Waldo Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 IIRC the old Ford systems used to just say LO and HI instead of 60 and 90. As akirby states, it isn't really 60 degrees, it's just a maximum setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetexan Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) My Fusion is the same way on its auto controls. I use 60 to get the ac going full blast in the summer (and make sure I set it back to 60 so that I can remote start and have the system running full blast), but I guarantee you that I don't leave it. In the summertime, I can't tell a difference between 65 and 60 - - I don't think my car could even cool to 65, much less 60.

Brandon Paul Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hey there..You know what, I think the best thing you should do is to check your Thermostat settings. From there you can figure out what is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempie Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Ummm, whats the difference between pushing the button to lower the temp to 63 (if you could) and pushing the fan button. Edited August 6, 2009 by kempie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susan_ted Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Has anyone noticed their fan speed reduced? My 07 SEL with ACC and 37k miles does not seem to have the fun run as high as it once did, even when the manual fan speed is pushed to the max, it just does not seem to be blowing very fast.

The only ones I've ever seen are Motorcraft. You might want to check in the intake area beneath the winshield. That may be plugged with debris.

feelin edgy Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I read the the K&N sarcasm filter allows too many pointed jabs through, and could result in bruised feelings. I think it is best to stick with the stock filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
