    The aircon comes on automatically when you have the vents pointed at the windscreen only. It removes the moisture so actually helps clear the windscreen. Plus it keeps the aircon compressor running all year round so it doesn't fail.

    If you really don't want the aircon to come on when your turn the fan on then just point the vent to somewhere else.

    If your temperature dial is fully on turn it back slightly.

    Hello and Welcome to the forum.

    Does your car have auto climate control? The air-con might be on, but actually not be working, it only does if it needs to. I'm not sure about Fords, but most cars the air-con does not work at very low outside temps, normally below 4° C to prevent parts from freezing up.

    As said above, air-con is useful in winter as it de-humidifies the air (removes moisture) to help remove and prevent windows misting up.
