Ford Focus air distribution switch malfunction requiring manual adjustment on Ford Focus

Some Ford Focus owners report experiencing air distribution control issues, particularly in the 2015 Ford Focus SE sedan, which Ford engineers have indicated will not be resolved. These owners note that the airflow mode selected directly affects air distribution, relying on airflow mode control doors and electric mode door actuators to manage airflow within the vehicle. When attempting to adjust air distribution, some find that specific settings for windscreen defrosting and demisting automatically deactivate, requiring careful selection of buttons to achieve the desired climate control. Additionally, it is crucial for owners to set the air distribution control, blower, and air vents according to their preferences for optimal performance. To manage the air conditioning, pressing the A/C button is necessary, and using the AUTO button allows for a quick return to automatic mode, simplifying the adjustment process.
