Help - Rear A/C problem

OK, my rear air vent only blows cold air, in fact I would go so far as to say it was a/c cold. The rear blower works fine and I can control the speed but the dial to set the temp has no effect or at least I can't get warm air out of it. Is this normal?????

I never noticed during the summer and now my kids are going to freeze their a$$'# off this weekend

I know on my '01 3.0, the rear climate control is a function of the front temperature settings. So if your rear is only blowing cold air, try increasing the front temps (or at least the passenger) to warmer settings to see if that has any effect. You may have already tried this, but I just know that fixed my problem. My 2003 Expedition has a completely separate climate control that's in the rear cargo area whereas my X5's rear climate works off the front climate control but it is adjustable to allow for coolER or warmER air.

Make sure the dial between the two front vents is turned to the red dots.

try setting the passenger side temperature a little higher ... the rear climate package isn't 100% individually controllable ... so if the front passenger is set to 66 degrees, the rear cabin will also try to reach 66 degrees, no matter where to turn the rear dial ...
