That's the **** that controls the temp. of the air through your vents you homos.

Someone go try this for me, it's something I've never noticed before.

Turn the car on, put the air to defroster, then to full blast.

Start with the center **** all the way to the red/right/warm air side.

Once you have the air blowing, turn that temp **** toward the other side. Then go back and repeat it a few times just back and forth.

Does the **** get hard to turn in the middle? From like 2 o'clock to 11 o'clock?

I don't know if the **** is just catching, if it's something i've never noticed before, of if I am just making this up out of my own imagination.

I doubt the air has to be on defrost and all the way turned up, but that's how I noticed it last night.

Sorry, I know it's a dumb question that really has no bearing on anything, but I'm just curious.

 

i just did it right now, didnt notice n e thing. i bet yours is just catching er somethin..maybe all the friction your causing from twisting the ***** is making the joint melt haha.

 

I have noticed that sometimes. I will try to put it back to center and it will be hard to turn. I think it might have to do with air pressure or something.

 

mine is hard to turn back to cold after a few times, but from cold to hot there is no resistance

 

It is probably from having your blower on full, turn down the blower speed, and see if it still does it.

 

It doesnt do it with it lower than full, or at least it gets easier as the pressure drops.

Anyone know why? It's wierd that it would be difficult from hot to cold, but not the other way.

Strange.. oh well at least it isnt my imagination

 

your not alone, its either just weird, or horrible Ford engineering....Im leaning towards the second part lol

 

"Built Ford Tough".....
