Air conditioner Question
I have a 2001 Ranger XLT. When I put my heater selector to the split level, the AC compressor kicks on. It doesn't come on in other positions except Where its supposed to like AC or Defrost? Is that proper?

Re: Air conditioner Question
Any time you have it set to something involving defrost, the compressor will activate. Vent and floor (not AC) should operate without the compressor.

Re: Air conditioner Question
Mine is. I guess I have some more checking to do. Possibly the selector switch?

Re: Air conditioner Question
On a ranger the a/c is used on every setting but the vent. Which is one click to the left. Reason it’s used on all the right settings is those are normally used for heat and it acts as a dehumidifier in your cab to keep the windows from fogging. You have to manually wire in a switch and relay to kill the a/c if you don’t want it to work.

Pretty sure I said the same thing in post #3 the day you started the thread. At least you have a spare panel now.

What is the point of asking questions on a web forum if you don't read the answers given by other posters?

Re: Air conditioner Question
As I understand vent and floor should operate without the compressor. It is only needed for the air conditioner. For real, repairing an air conditioner is not as easy as it might seem at first. I even don't change the filters in my home air conditioner myself. I have a proven service https://www.airconservicing.org/why-choose-us/ where I address any need or malfunction. Therefore, in your case, I strongly recommend that you contact the service center where they can provide you with competent assistance. Don't make it worse if you try to fix it yourself.

Why should the OP contact a service center if his a/c is functioning normally?
