#1 of 6 2005 Explorer Limited - Cold Air from Glove Box? by cbear19 Nov 24, 2007 (8:02 pm)
It's winter here and we've just bought a 2005 Explorer Limited.   While driving it - we're noting a VERY noticeable cold draft coming from the glove box. Much like having a window down - and it's downright uncomfortable!   Can anyone give me any hints as to what is going on? What could be the problem?

Replying to: cbear19 (Nov 24, 2007 8:02 pm) We have 2004 Explorer with the exact same issue. I don't have a solution but wanted you to know it wasn't just you. We also have a low volume of air coming through our vents on all settings and speeds. I read that could be the result of something being sucked in (napkin) from the glove box. Apparently there is an intake under there. I will dig into that and see what I can find. It might shed some light on why we're getting the air leak. Drives my wife nuts in the cold weather.

Replying to: cbear19 (Nov 24, 2007 8:02 pm) So I just now took my truck into the shop. They told me I was going to have to have my "max recirculating door" replaced. They said eventually it would wear out and then I wouldn't have heat or A/C. Cost $850 because they have to remove the dashboard to replace it. Hope this helps!
#5 of 6 Need to remove the dash on 2004 Explorer by frustrated16 Mar 03, 2008 (5:49 pm)
Can anyone tell me what all needs to be done to remove the dash on a 2004 Explorer. Afraid I need to fix the blend door to stop the cold air around the glove box. Suggestions? Replies to this message: 393clevor (Mar 16, 2008 4:09 pm)
