2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 Ford Expedition vents only blow from defrost fix, for under $10

Ford Expedition default defrost fix, MUST SEE BEFORE GOING TO A MECHANIC, STUCK ON DEFROST

[@xxdbriderklx110xx]

Swapped it out after watching this video and it fixed the problem! What a relief! Thanks!

[@howardshrum3142]

Thank you. It was about a 10-minute job. I have tried everything until I seen this so happy it worked instantly.

[@aprilapplegate9550]

Man, you’re awesome! You saved me $500 from going to the shop and it was a $0.50 piece of tubing from Napa. Same thing was happening to my 2005 Ford Expedition AC blowing through the defrost vents but it was cold just nothing coming out the front. Replaced those two pieces you talked about (behind battery case and the tubing connected to the little plastic circular adapter). Genius. You are pure genius. Thanks so much for posting this! It’s awfully hot in south Florida summers!

My in laws Expedition had that problem they came to me for help, after doing some research on line I tried you tube and I found your video, I replaced those 3 pieces of hose and now the a/c is blowing through the vents again. Thank you so much.

[@jammeralexander9312]

Wanted to say Thank you! I was having the same problem and couldn’t figure it out. Watched your video and sure enough the vacuum hose connection pieces in those hoses you showed were completely wasted. I replaced all of them and tand bam! It all started to work again. Thanks again!

DUDE!!!! You just saved my bacon. In Phoenix & it is getting HOT! My '04 pile (affectionately dubbed the "silver Bullet") was blowing 80-90% out the defrost. I just kinda jiggled the vacuum lines you showed and BOOM! The air is blowing out the correct vents now and frosty cold. I am going to Auto Zone to spend $4 and replace those AZ dry rotted heat-baked hunks of crumbling rubber today! Huge help!!!!

Much appreciated, the bottom short hose (at 1.15) that connects to another valve was damaged. Initially from the front side it looked fine, reached around the back side and it was split enough to cause the issue. Check the back side everyone, it might solve the problem. Good job Velez and MUCH APPRECIATED, I encourage you to make additional videos as you service your expedition. Wife is happy again, always a good thing!

[@ambercoulter3714]

Very helpful video! Do you happen to know what could cause no vacuum going to that or the brake booster? Like where the vacuum is supposed to first start going to those systems. The brake booster has three hoses going to its check valve one from the air filter box, one goes to a metal tube that curves behind the engine, and one goes along to those hoses you were just working on. Im guessing the vacuum is supposed to be provided by the metal tube curving behind the engine but there is no vacuum in any of those lines

[@heathfiedler]

Im having an odd problem kinda like this with my 03, what happens is i could be driving along and when i start getting on the gas a bit it goes to the defrost vents till i let off the gas peddle. I wonder if this would fix that.

[@KevvoDaDon05]

Yes that means that the hole is coming open during acceleration, mine did this for awhile that is why I didn't notice it at first

[@dontraelwhite9722]

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE !!!!!KEVIN Da Superman JOHNSON!!! I took a used car battery I found on the street ( today is trash day). Took it to ORIELYS AUTO STORE, got a $10.00 credit .....Bought the HOSE for a whopping $1.72 with military discount..$.1.98 without....The dealership wanted $390.00 to fix.....Thank you so much Sir,,,My AC is Blowing!!!!!!😁😀😀😁😁😀😀

Needed this mine was giving to me by my uncle same issues with the leak

[@KevvoDaDon05]

Glad I could help

[@brycewright4583]

Where does it connect to from the firewall or engine? Mine is missing from the source

[@KevvoDaDon05]

It starts on the manifold, and t's off to go behind the battery and 1 goes through the firewall. Now if this doesn't work then its the vacuum switch located behind the firewall but its really not needed so if you cap the line and only the line going to the vacuum switch it will work again also.

[@iamatt]

Damn I just swapped my blender motor. Still same problem. That sucked because I literally got my hand stuck in the dash. No joke like I was about to call the fire department. 100%. I will check these hoses out. Where do they goto anyway?

[@KevvoDaDon05]

They control contol it from switching from the dash vents th the front vent, it needs air to push it back and forth

[@mukluck]

Does this fix the issue when the AC blows but nothing comes out the vents after 30 minutes of driving?

[@KevvoDaDon05]

Only if its stuck coming out the defrost

[@jessicamaneille7532]

What is that specific part/ hose actually called? My ac is blowing out the defrost vents as well like you stated in video but its always blowing hot. It will not blow cold even after putting freon :( its been like this for a year. I have 4 kids and pregnant right now, ITS HOT!😂 MOMMA needs some ac in her life!!

[@KevvoDaDon05]

If it's not blowing cold at all you may have a leak in the Ac system, which includes the compressor, condenser, orfice tube, or another soft part, have someone check the system 1st then fix the vacuum leak under the hood

[@KevvoDaDon05]

But 7/32 hose size for the hvac leak, and it will need a diagnostic for the malfunctioning part of the ac system

[@santiagodavila1426]

Jessica Maneille dammm 4 kids and prego and still running without AC.? Tell your man to fix it up, I would never let my pregnant wife and kids running without AC..! 😘😕

Could also be an actuator. Had that problem with my Chevy.
