I own a 1996 Ford Taurus sedan with 151,000~ miles on it. I recently purchased this vehicle, and all of the following issues I've been having with it have existed since it came into my hands. Any and all help will be
deeply appreciated.
1.) When the rotary knob on the dash is turned from 'Vent' to 'A/C', no change can be identified. The air that is blown out is warm, and unchanged from that of the 'Vent' air. Furthermore, the knob seems to freely move between 'A/C' and 'Max A/C', as if there was no division between the two. The wife thinks that the air conditioning worked awhile ago-- when it was cooler. I'm not so certain.
2.) During the winter months (which are quite grueling up here,) the heat in the car seems to work (albeit poorly) to a certain extent. When it is above 20 degrees outside, the heat slowly warms up to a halfway-decent temperature and heats the car. Below 20 degrees, my experience has been that it fails to work almost completely.
3.) The rear defroster simply never works. When the button is pushed, a clicking noise can be heard-- but the light does not turn-on, and the rear window is not defrosted.
Thanks in advance!
