I am a UK, owner from accross the pond I have a 1998 Explorer my air con drive on the pump continualy engages and disengaes at random short periods ( thermostic Control?) in the off position it does not.Even if you have the heat on this happens. Is this set up to supply a constant temprature air intake or is there a fault?
The AC system is enabled in all but the following control positions:
OFF
VENT
and the one which shows air blowing to the FEET only.
All the others enable the AC system.

What is the deal with people thinking something is wrong because of their Explorers' compressor is running? I remember a long thread a few weeks back about someone who wanted to disable the compressor because he just "felt like it didn't need to be running." The only thing I can figure is that people are such big control freaks, they can't handle the idea that whoever designed their vehicles had a legitimate reason for making things work a certain way.
OOps sorry didn't want to upset anyone! It just seemed strange that it comes on for a few seconds at random intervals even in the depths of winter, with no clue in the hand book. as to why
It dehumidifies the air (junior school science.... I dropped out in grade 8) to help reduce fogging on the windscreen and other glass....
myusdickus is merely adequate for the task at hand..... must leave some blood for thought process....
It also keeps the seals lubricated from what I've heard to help avoid expensive repairs.
