This is one of the best videos I have seen thank you so much😮

I'm having almost the same issue. My actuator will switch over to defrost / face / feet / etc. but it clicks extremely loud. Thanks for the video, I'm relieved I don't have to open the dash at all like the other actuators require.

Great video Josh. This cleared things up for me. I wanted to know what actuator I need to replace before ordering one. It was interesting to hear what the other actuators control. Also pretty cool to see them in action after you had the new one installed. Thank you!!

This is exactly what I was looking for thank you for your video

Absolutely one of the best video ever on the subject. You will never believe what they want to change that on my 2011.....They call for pulling the dash.

Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent video! I had this exact problem and this helped me properly diagnose it and fix it quickly!

Great Video, most videos are for heat blend door, I have this same problem, so happy I'm not taking the dash apart for heat blend door!!! You should change the title of this video and you will probably get a ton of more hits!!! THANK YOU, maybe AC Dash, defrost, floor mode actuator. Just trying to help!!! Thanks again

Was about to give up when I pulled the actuator and the motor seemed to work fine. Then I listed to your video and heard you state that yours was working fine but fixed the problem with a replacement. I did the same with a success. I appreciate you sharing and keeping me from going down the wrong rabbit hole. Thank you!!!

Very well explained video. I just learned how to fix my F150 defrost issues. Thank you. Great video and Great content. Excellent walk thru repair. Five Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ video!👍

OMG!!! As an older (60) divorced woman who works full time and runs a mini-ranch, I have become pretty self-sufficient. I had the Mode door actuator go out on my 2010 Nissan Titan 4 years ago, and went to KZfaq, found a video, which I watched a couple of times, bought the part at OReilys Auto, and installed it. Fast forward to today, and now own a 2014 Ford F150 Lariat that I bought two years ago, and lo and behold, I heard the familiar clicking again... I found your video, and had a case of déjà vu. Confirmed what I thought was wrong. I LOVED how simply you explained how to change it out! I am hoping that the part number was the number on the back side of that new Mode actuator you installed (I took a screen shot...it was 2238202). I plan to hit OReily's again tomorrow for the new actuator, and I will once again be head-first under the steering wheel changing it. Just know that if I had not done this before on a different truck, your video still would have empowered me to change it by myself on my Ford F150. Thank you for your simple, no nonsense instructions!

Thanks to your video, I fixed the air in my 2012 f150. Thanks, bro!

Super awesome video and explanation of the different doors. Thank you so much for the time spent sharing with the rest of us.

You answered so many questions I had with this video, i was getting so confused at the parts store with the actuators as I didn't know there was also a mode door actuator. My blend door actuator had broken, but this helps clear it up so much!

Great video. Anyone seeing this first before removing actuator, it's super easy to get to if you move the gas pedal. 3 13mm bolts and you can just move the pedal out of the way to get to the 2 8mm bolts. Super easy and saves so much time.

Thank you so much for your video bro! You saved me a headache for sure!

Thank you for sharing it has helped me diagnose my 2011 f150 troubles to bad I had to change the upper actuator before I found this 🖖🏼

You help me diagnose and fix my truck for $55 I’m so thankful

Excellent Video! Thanks for posting that diagram. My recirc is out... and the Mode damper controls only work in the Defrost and Floor modes.

Thanks for a concise way to diagnose! Super job!! L

Excellent video! Spent 10yrs, many yrs ago... in and under dashes doing car audio and alarms, had to be twisty! That must be my problem, hot/cold works, can't really tell about the farm door, guess it's working. It just doesn't want to go to vents only today so that must be it, fine job! If I could of filmed all the dashboards I took out in the 80s and 90s and circulated it I'd be rich! Everything use to be cable or vacuum operated. I'm cable door old

Great detailed video! Thank you!

Worth a note that depending on the model of the truck there can be two blend doors, one behind the radio and one on the transmission hump. My air is blowing only cold on the driver side, so I need to get to the blender on the hump. I may also do the mode one as well since at times when the system is off it will randomly let outside air blow, which from what I found can also be a bad mode actuator as well.

Your a live saver good video Man

Thanks for the video. Replaced my mode actuator today. Getting the rear screw in and out was a real PITA ! Works perfect now. Good video. 👍

Very helpful!!! Thank you kindly

Great video! Thanks

do you know anything about when it ticks when i first crank up my truck?

Good video. Thank you.

Is it the same model actuator to fit all recirculation, blend and mode as well ?

I know this is a long shot, but what is the part the actuator plugs into? Definitely a piece broke off mine that I think is the metal rod for you but one is plastic and it's up higher

I have a 2013 Raptor with dual climate controls. My driver side is stuck on cool only. My passenger side works fine. I think I have 2 actuators for the blend door. Im trying to locate my drivers actuator. Thanks.

Great learning video for those that are trying to determine what they have and what they control! Thanks

My 2019 F150 has a loud rhythmic clicking noise (almost like a blinker but much louder) and it is coming from under the steering column. It seems to come on and go off randomly throughout a drive even when I don’t change temp settings. Sounds like this might be my problem but I have yet to get on the floor and narrow down exactly where it comes from.

Good video

I was having a similar issue. Upon looking at mode door actuator I noticed I don't have that rod? I'm just curious where mine went? Do you know if my 2013 f150 lariat should have it?

Anyone know this part number, wanted to figure it out before I replaced it.

Would I go about doing this is my system wants to push air but can’t the fans won’t turn on at all

I have changed the exactly actuator and when a switch to heating, the driver’s side is warm and it’s is working fine with the other vents. I have changed the one behind the radio too. It’s still warm on the driver’s side. Any suggestions?

Hello brother, great video. All my actuators seem to be working as all the functions you listed are still in working operation, but I am experiencing a loud clicking sound when first turning on my truck, seemingly from high behind the dash

Not sure if you will have an answer for this or not BUT- I have the exact same problem you had. Air is stuck on the face/panel and will not switch to feet or defrost. My actuator never clicked, but I suspected it to be the issue (I own another ford that has had similar problems). Before finding this video I got a new actuator, installed it correctly, but I’m still having the issue. I went under to determine that the white arm doors are moving when I switch air modes and they do seem to be moving as they should. Any idea what the issue might be?

Great video thanks. Do you happen to know the part number?

I’ve did mine on a 2014 and it’s a PITA to get in there and line it up. That was about a year ago and now it broke again. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Can someone tell me what type of screw it is and what size please because I lost them, thank you, can someone help me

Thanks!

Mechanic's tip : Don't change modes while the blower is running. It's like a hurricane.

I’m having the same issue, what’s the part # please?

FYI; This part has a few names to it. Anywho, for my 2014 F150 without dual zone control; “Duct Actuator Door Motor” Motorcraft 8L8Z-19E616-C. Another number used for the same part is; YH1881. Currently $39.99 at Ford website. And, $31.09 on Amazon through a Ford dealer.

There’s nothing about no heat?

Can you share the part #?

2009 DOES NOT HAVE SHIFT ON THE FLOOR!!

NICE!!!

do you know anything about when it ticks when i first crank up my truck?
