This last time I had to get a tow. All the belts came off and left me stranded. Ford did a great job of getting someone out to me and getting it to a dealer.

I have a dumb question, If I set my air intake mode to outside, put the blower on and leave the AC off, Im just going to be using the fan and not engaging the compressor? correct?

Correct. Only time the compressor is on is when the A/C is on, or the climate control is set to a defrost setting.

Thanks!, I can live with that for now. I was doing a long drive where the windows fogged up and I managed run the window vents without the AC (hitting the button to turn it off) on and it seemed to work a treat! Although i'm in NZ so rarely need to use it.

and now my a/c has gone out .. twice .. once last year, and now this year .. which I am now 2k over warranty and like 2 weeks over the 1-year work warranty, went to the dealership and they told me to call ford -- called ford and one of the customer rep guys hung up on me after telling me they can't do anything about it, and the best thing I can do is pay out of pocket and "keep my receipts" just in case there's a recall in the future.
any advice on what to do next? I REALLY dont want to pay the 1,500 - 1,800 dollar cost of this, but summer is coming and I live in Texas .. #FML

Use a leak sealer if all you have is a leak. Mine is still going strong.

If the dealer repaired your A/C or Evap core last year then the parts will be covered under Ford Motorcraft's one year warranty. Have the dealer diagnose the problem first before anything then I would call Ford back if the dealer will not be of help and be nice, direct and reasonable on what you would like as a resolution. Be willing to compromise. You can even use the TSB provided in this thread somewhere as a reference.
That being said do you have the reciepts from the last repairs?

Take it in ASAP, they might work with you.. Get it diagnosed of what the issue is before you do anything to it... Also quite a few folks on here state they have had good luck with Ford direct on providing some sort of financial assistance regarding the Evap core replacement if that is the issue.
You did not state what what repaired/replaced the last time you took it in???

Hey guys I just wanted some insight on if my evap is out. My ac stopped working and blowing warm air (of course) I took it into a supposed ac specialized shop and he says it needs a new system because the compressor is shot. My question is, when the system was drained, vacuumed (showed no leaks and held vacuum) and recharged to specs the high side was marking low and the low side was at 0 what would this indicate? Blockage on the low side? And yes the compressor was kicking on but the air was not cold. I was not getting any funny smells inside the car so I do not believe I had a evaporator leak. That I could tell. I almost forgot to mention I have 56,000 miles so no dealer visits
