Some things I never thought about that I absolutely love in my new Mustang

Correct.

I am going to test this but I believe if you touch the fan speed you are no longer in AUTO. Glenn

But there are two buttons for fan speed. One has a little fan icon, the other is the AUTO button. You can kind of see it here:

The AUTO button has three dashes. Three dashes is the fastest speed. If you press auto again, it goes down to two dashes, and if you press auto again, it goes down to one, the slowest speed of the three (only three using AUTO).

The fan button is to the left, and has more adjustment.

I am just talking about the auto button, not the fan button.

OK. I just went and started my car to test and see what is going on. My car indicated the temp was 80˚. I backed the cart out of the garage and the A/C was set to 66˚. The fan icon had one light lit and the Auto icon had 3 lights lit. I told Alexa to raise the temp to 72˚ and no lights changed. I waited a minute and I could hear the fan speed drop. It was easily discernible. In a short time the fan speed dropped even more but I could still hear it. Less than a minute later I could barely hear the fan speed over the sound of the exhaust. At this point I haven't touched anything only giving Alexa commands and the fans are turning very quietly and all the lights remain the same. I then told Alexa to raise the temp to 74˚and now the fan speed is so slow you have to concentrate to hear it at all. All the lights are still lit. I then touched the Auto icon and one light went out and the fan speed increased. I touched it again and a second light went out and the fan speed slowed. So now the temp is set to 74˚, the Auto icon is lit and the fan speed is faster than when all three lights were lit and the cabin was cooled down. I touched the fan Auto icon again and all 3 lights were lit and the fan speed slowed until it was almost imperceptible. I then touched the fan icon and a menu for choosing fan speed popped up. It was a blank display with some dots. I touched the display about halfway and the fan speed was very fast and loud. To make a very long saga short. One light under the fan icon, three lights under the Auto icon and set the temp. It's that simple. If the fans never slow down then raise the temp in small amounts until they do. As I said the other day you must be patient. Especially in Georgia! If you expect the cabin temp to be 67˚ in Georgia in the summer time it is going to take a while, or raise the temp. As a last resort move north.  Where Auto works great! Good luck! Glenn

I don't know if it was mentioned before, if you leave the temp on LO and use auto the fan stays on high.

If you set the temp up one notch to 60 instead of LO the fan speed will decrease when the car cools off.

Good to know! Unless the weather (humidity) is causing my climate control consternation I only change the temp! Summer or Winter I use the A/C. It is just so easy with Alexa. I don't even turn it off when the top is down. Glenn

Ok, Ok, ok.

1st, I noticed my wife's Explorer ST the fan cooled down.

2nd, while driving my Dark Horse, I adjusted the temperature up, and the fan slowed down. Then I noticed when driving off to do 5:00 a.m. cardio this morning, that my fan speed was lower, because the temperature outside at that early morning was not much above the setting inside the car.

SO - it does work. I just have mine set at 69, because I am hot natured, when it is ridiculously hot and humid here recently, so the fan speed stays on high a lot. Normally it is hot outside when I am driving.

It is working properly.

Thanks to everybody who provided input.

Glad you got that figured out. Now the hard part is every day you have to determine what temp to set it at so the fans slow down enough for you to enjoy your ride! Happy hunting!

You are not alone. Many years ago, in a life far, far away, I worked. I tried sharing the drive with a co-worker who couldn't figure it out. He would blast the temperature and fans, each on the highest setting. When it got too hot or cold in the car, he would shut the heat or air completely off. I tried explaining what he should do, but to no avail. After a couple of weeks, I told him I couldn't drive with him anymore. Never drive shared again. . Glenn
