My climate control is wack too. Mine actually gets hot to the touch when in use... I've been told mine is bad and it's $250 used IF you can find a new 1, or $600 new from Ford... this is just what I've been told when I thought my a/c was bad because it began blowing through the vents.. I've had other odd issues with my digital climate control... but $600 is crazy.

If i recall correctly, the newer Crown Victorias and Grand Marquis share the same automatic climate control unit.. and those cars are a dime a dozen in the junkyard..

My max a/c was only blowing out of the defrost vents. I took the unit out and changed the rubber o-rings out in it and it fixed mine. May be worth a try before you go buy another unit. O-rings are only $2 at tractor supply. If you search thread "fixed mt eatc today " there are step by step instructions and a few pictures. Its super easy to do and best of all only cost $2.

I just did the o-ring repair on mine. Was going from defrost to vent at random. Hardest part was getting the o-ring at Ace. I have some extras coming in the mail if anyone has a hard time locating. It's a 007 or #61 o-ring.
