I took the fan motor off behind the glove box and could see a filter above where it mounted. Pushing it up let leaves fall down. Any way to go at it from above or through the glove box opening to vacume the leaves out. Don't even think I got them all.
How do leaves get in the filter in the first place?

I was finally able to get home and check on your advice. Worked PERFECTLY!! Thanks so much. It literally took me less than a minute, from opening the door to turning the lever and now the a/c comes out of the dash rather than the defroster. Wow! And to think the dealer wanted $1000 to fix this. All that is wrong is that there is a plastic arm that is broken that connects the lever that changes the gate to the arm that sticks out of the vacuum canister. Hopefully I can find one online. I hate to go to the dealer and deal with those guys again. If you know of anywhere to get that part I'd appreicate it.
Again thanks for your help. You da man!!! God Bless!!

Yeah I found out what my problem was. Go to post #293 and to Clusterbuster's reply to my original post. All it is is a plastic lever that connects the flapper arm to the vaccum canister, the plastic lever was broken. Lower your glovebox, look way to the left and up a little and you'll see it. Fairly easy to get to. Now I have to find out where to get that part. The dealer will be last, especially after they quoted me $1000 to fix it.
Hope that helps and good luck!!

Any ideas and can I fix it myself?
I have the same issue in my 03 Explorer. Just like yours the plastic arm that controls the door is broken. Can you replace the arm or do you have to replace the door? If so what is the name of the door? any information you can give me would be deeply appreciated
Thanks,
Frank
I have the same problem that dobbsa posted on #230:
"I have a 1998 Ford Explorer. The A/C works fine at idle up to moderate speeds. Once it is at highway speeds, then the A/C turns warm. When I slow down the A/C gets cold again."
Would that also be the blend door issue?
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks.
I am going to try the blend door replacement kit from heatertreater in the next week or two. I'll let you know if replacing the blend door corrects this issue. Have you tried that yet?
The front A/C works, but there's no A/C in the rear vents. I read some of the other posts -- I couldn't tell if the exact issue was covered...if so...sorry for the duplicate. If not....thanks for your suggestions.
position only hot air comes out -- also only hot air comes out in vent position. Temp control will not change from cold to hot air.
Have read about a blend door behind glove box. All fuses are ok. Is this my
problem?
thanks
somehere else! AC and all vents are hot air--only Max A/C is cold.
Problem was all normal until I turned temp dial to heat one cool morning---then went back to A/C at pm---then only heat came out.! The Ford fix book talks about a blend door--not sure whrere it is.

See my last post. I am fairly confident that your issue (mine as well) is the blend door defect.
