Air comes out of glove box

2003 Ford Explorer has air coming out of glove box and under it at highway speeds. Really freezes your feet in winter. Also seems like the fan makes a lot of noise for the amount of air coming out of the ducts.

Get a strong torch lay on your back and look up into the area where the front air vent comes into your car

The main air duct has come away from the inlet and is allowing the cold air to enter the car while starving the heater and fans of the normal air flow

Did someone do a repair to the heater matrix or the loom recently.

You may have to take out the glove box to see where the pipes should be joined to

Why on my manual temperature control does the blower only work on max, or 4

Under dash on passenger side is Blower Motor Resistor "wire harness plug" which is shorting. it's loose or was previously arcing and burnt up a little from heat. You can reshape the female pins to make the needle pins insert more tight. Or you should replace the Blower Motor Resistor harness if it's too far gone. ( it clips apart, usually a white plug just underneath glove box location. Sometimes is damaged by passengers feet. Your speed 1 thru 3 is resisted. Fan speed # 4 is max voltage and does not use the Resistor. I assume the resistor is shot ( located inside the clip coming from blower motor) or else there is a short on 1 of the wires female to male pins.

-10 c temp on highway, full defrost on windshield, still front windows(drivr/passngr) fog then freeze

If your heat is not getting hot enough, it may be time for a new thermostat. They're fairly easy to replace and can be bought at an auto parts store.

1996 Ford Explorer XLT abs light comes on on

The ABS light is for the Anti-lock Braking System. The MIL will illuminate if there is a difference in wheel speed sensors signals to the PCM. So you might have a wheel speed sensor that is going out on you. Does the light come on at low speeds, or just higway speeds? You could take the vehicle to a local parts store and have them pull the codes for you and that will tell you which speed sensor is out of whack. Also road grime, dirt and gunk buildup can cause speed sensors to give false readings. Hope tihs helps you out.......

Clicking noise behind the glove box

The little box is called the blend door actuator. It is an inexpensive fix, and you should be able to do it at home. There are a lot of online step by step guides to fix it! Good luck, i hope it helps, i am having the same issue!

Sometimes people pass through toplayer thin ice and splash the liquid beneath onto suspension components and then outside air temps freeze the liquid creating contact (ice) between parts....but just a thought..
