I am experiencing the fan shutting down, when the setting is on auto. Their is a clicking sound that happens inside the vehicle and selecting any button on the controls turns the sound off, but it shuts down the 'auto' control of my vehicle.

What is your question?

The problem occurs most often when the vehicle is starting to warm up, but can happen intermittetently while the vehicle is running.

What makes this problem better or worse?

it's worse when the vehicle is cold or just starting

How long has your 2013 Ford Explorer had this problem?

probably has been happening over the last several months.
