Floor heat non-existent?

[gizmohd]

Yes. While not a good substitute, the seat heater roasts my arse to the point I forget my frozen feet.

Ya.. it's got to be the hottest seat heater I've ever had! LOL

I live in MN. This is the biggest issue I have with the my bronco. Praying the have a fix for the defrost vents being on when the feat are the only selected position.

Hi there! Can you send us a PM with your VIN and Ford dealership information? I’d be happy to look into this on my end.

I just sent you that info.

If only floor is selected, should any air be blowing from the defroster, even though not selected? After selecting the defroster, there was noticeably more air being pushed through it, but air is coming through the defroster when floor only is selected.

As a side note, when floor is selected and on hi, front does push air, but not so much in the rear; it’s a trickle, but it sounds like I am luckier than others.

@Ford Motor Company is this normal? Not sure that has been answered yet?

Twice now I've had an issue where the dash vents weren't blowing even though I selected them in the directional menu. Each time I opened the menu, de-selected, then re-selected the vents and then they started blowing air

I've had a couple other issues with the electronics:

1. Once had no touch response for android auto, had to restart car

2. Then a couple times the system didn't initially recognize any of my inputs...I would start car then try to change audio channels, volume, and temperature, using both the steering wheel controls and dash buttons/wheels, none of these did a thing, then about 1-3 minutes later ALL the button clicks/nob changes I had made just suddenly occurred in like a mass spamming moment. It was as if there was a blocking startup process that delayed any input.

All has been good for about a week though so maybe a software update fixed them?

Check your fuse box. Mine was not bolted on tight so it lost connection. Might be a factor for you.

Im in the hvac business and I would say damper issue if all ducts are on.More than enough air volume to blast down to feet and back area if those ducts are isolated , just my opinion.

I agree has to be the damper, if the ducts are aligned at the joints correctly we should be feeling air flow. It is so loud behind the dash that it makes me think they are misaligned behind the dash, it is plugged, or the damper is not rotated correctly to the lower dampers. How do we get this to engineers at ford to resolve.
Everyone should bring there broncos to service this Friday for this issue. That may send the message!

It almost certainly has to be a faulty duct or something.

Sounds like a wind tunnel and it barley leaks out

This makes no sense but I have noticed it too. Why the heck wouldn’t it remember where I set it?

I live in a cold climate and decided to check it out after seeing this thread. I feel like it blows adequate heat to the floor. Heat is coming out directly above the brake pedal.

Mine is the same directly down from brake pedal kinda odd but works. It is really loud on feet Only tho and defrost never shuts off on mine.

I don't have my Bronco yet , does any else have issue of defrost not shutting off ? With those dampers wide open it won't leave much volume for other areas.

Hi there. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and Dealership name and location? I’ll see how I can assist on my end.

Sent you a direct message with relevant details.

Same issue and I thought it was just me. NOTHING comes out of rear floor heat. Almost nothing on front floor heat. Defrost is always on and that side window panel is always blowing heat even if I select floor only. Sucks but I got used to a few of the defects of my bronco, still love it but miss my 4runner too! 4 door Big Bend Manual Transmission

 

[Mean Red GT]

Really is starting to sound to me like there may be an issue with the diverters not functioning correctly in the dash on many of these.

 

[Last Ride Bronco]

This sounds like a service visit. Clearly the dampers are not routing the air properly. I have a two door and haven't even checked the back (don't know if it even has floor vents back there) but changing the options on the front works fine and is very noticeable.

The rear vents under the front seats might as well not be there. Even on high, you can’t feel air flow, even when you place your hand under the seat to see if you can feel any air flow.

I thought it was just me. I usually run warm blooded, but my feet have been cold. (Nebraska). I definitely don't feel much air moving near my feet. It does get plenty warm in the cabin but my feet don't seem to agree. I'll have to keep a watch on this thread. So far this is my only concern. My Bronco has exceeded my expectations.
