Bronco's unexpected quirks. What'cha got!?

strange
ill get the dealer to check it out next time im in

Mine blows strong as well. There are 3 settings on my Auto Fan control that vary the speed of the fan based on temp settings. If I have all 3 indicator lights lit, hurricane. If I have only 1 indicator light lit, gentle breeze.

However, in mine when I first get in, setting auto to level 1 doesn't bring the speed down much.
Conversely, once warmed up, going to setting 3 doesn't bring the hurricane... But speeds up the blower somewhat

Agree, once desired temp is achieved, its all fairly mundane

Sorry should have been a little clearer

Heat and warmth is not an issue, and when turned up you get plenty of air on the dash and defrost, and yes I do know you can turn them on and off individually

the issue I have is the amount of air between the lower vents for the feet vs the dash and defrost. dash and defrost are fine where the lower is anorexic

Ugh! I'll check mine today but maybe you have a pipe disconnected...?

I'll keep an eye on that. Noone wants cold feet!

maybe, I see others have mentioned it as well but I'll get the dealer to check out next time I'm in there

That's sloppy though. Who wants bags and stuff hanging? Built in storage would be nice. I'm pretty sure that's what he's talking about.
I have a cardboard box on the back seat. Plenty of storage!

I’ll take Kevlar molle bags over your cardboard box any day lol

Tap the lock button first and then double tap the remote start button.

I had the exact same problem before I realized it was user error.

So strange that they would make it work that way, but thank you!
I feel like I just leveled up in my Bronco game. lol

Yeah but my box says Smirnoff on it. F'in cool bro!

All joking aside, a place to store a larger water bottle within the driver's reach would have been nice. My 2002 Explorer had that and It was probably the best thing about that thing.

I didn't have time to read all these, but 2.3L 7 speed manual. I jumped in it today and took off, not 100% sure if I was in 2nd or 3rd, but it bucked pretty hard with a loss of power and then recovered. It wasn't during a shift change, but as I accelerated and increased RPMs. I'll keep an eye on it.

Then today after leaving the post office I couldn't get the remote to unlock the doors so I had to use the physical key in the remote and once the door was open it started working again.

So the door locks don't have live power going to those switches?

Lock switches are low power compared to what is needed to move the window motor.

Still would have made more sense to just place the door locks on the center console with window switches. Unable to lock/unlock tailgate.

I agree on that gripe... was just explaining why the window switches are in the middle like a jeep. Although I dont think i'll remove the doors just out of pure laziness and not wanting to buy bags to store them. But the option to do so is nice.

I didn't know that so I appreciate the information. Taking the doors off really is easy. Putting back on is a little more work but not bad. I hope they make the donut doors.
