The fan doesn't blow harder, the extra noise is from the air intakes inside the cabin.

and it will get louder if you put something in front of the intake....like a deflated saftey man

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over

Now here is where one could properly use the phrase "do you want a cookie?" Not that I am, but it would make sense in this case.

Who put you in charge of the cookie jar?

I overthrew the old cookie jar rulers. I now regulate all tossing and giving out of cookies.

Yeah...you just LOVE to toss, don't ya?!

wtf

y'know, toss?

good lord

japanese cars can do the same thing with any heat/vent output/AC combination. those pitiful Ford HVAC controls never seem give you all the options.

edit: "MAX" A/C actually puts less strain on the engine and improves gas mileage because the A/C doesn't need to be cycled on as much to cool the cabin. Honda mentions this in their manuals.

Huh?

You lost me there - what pressure?

It's like an anti NOS button.

Cookie? I would have asked for a fig newton, which is actually fruit and cake, not a cookie. j/k

Cheers for the 93 Taurus!... Mines a SHO though..

as far as your question I'll say what others, just takes the air from inside the cabin as opposed to the outside. that way it only has to cool air from whatever temp the cabis at instead of the heat outsdie...

Gas mileage difference is probably minute anyhow. I heard A/C is better for gas mileage than leaving windows open at highway speed.

He asked a question, I gave an answer. Yet another incorrect cookie usage. Nice try though.
