I’ve been coming back to this video every Year in spring. I guess when you go from heat in the morning to AC in the afternoon every day, it wears this out. Thanks for skipping the bullsht introductions and thanks for not trying to overexplain every little thing. If I’m watching a video on getting deep into the dash, I probably know that I’ll need tools, disconnect the battery, don’t scratch the trim, it’s gonna be tight, blah blah blah.

This guy gets it done in no time. No-nonsense video that shows all the steps required. Great video!

Thanks for for the video. I had problems with the spline lining up, so I connected the harness, started the truck up and messed with the temperature. I watched the actuator shaft rotate, the splines lined up and the actuator dropped in. Then I mess with temp some more watching the actuator rotate until the mounting screw holes lined up. AC working now.

hey, it is exactly my truck. bought the part... I'm on it! thank YOU!

Thank you bud. Followed your video to do mine. Saved me 1000 bucks from going to the dealer :)

Great video! Thanks for the walk through. Clearance on the 3 bolts was difficult on mine, but luckily I got the TEKTON 18063 Stubby Combination Wrench, 8 mm on AMZN and I was able to get'er done. It took a while though, but my heat is now working after years! I am not a Dorman fan at all, so I went for a Motorcraft part which is also on AMZN, part Motorcraft YH1752 for my 2007 F-150, and it's pretty cheap too.

Best Video I have seen to replace the actuator - Thanks. I bought mine from Rock Auto.

Thank you, this video is very helpful to me!

Nice video! Just replaced mine, made it way easier.

LMFAO the car places were telling me it was my heater core. Thank you for this. I heard a clicking noise everytime I tried to turn on the heater and I would only get cold air. What a RIP off for these car places to pretend the issue is more than it is.

Wow never have I replaced first time

Update! If you remove the panel above the glove box it gives better access.

My fan only works on setting 4. Thanks for video.

THANK YOU

Great job going to try on my own

I need to replace the other door, the one that opens and closes the cowl vent. Anyone got a vid or a link?

Will that part fix the defrost also ?

I did this exactly as described bit nowmy truck cranks but wont start. Any suggestions?

Working on mine now

Take it apart & solder it. Usually the motor to the board brakes .

Hey Sam thanks for the Video. I have a 2007, I have perfect AC but no heat right now. All hoses are Hot, Motor Temp and Coolant at right levels. I do not hear any sounds like a door opening or closing from behind the dash like I heard in the past (I never remember hearing "Clicking

Awesome video...May want to disconnect battery first...locating a popped fuse because something completely different isn't working right is a bitch sometimes.

My truck will be blowing the ac just fine and then the heat will start blasting when I hear a noise like a flap behind radio. Will this fix the problem?

Would this also work in the same way for a 2008 ford f150?

is the shaft keyed to go in only one way? mine is stuck on heat do i need to clock the new switch to the left or right or will it figure out where it is on its own?

Is there not a recalibration procedure to do after replacement? seen other vids of removing a fuse etc.

What’s the bolt sizes

Do you know where the Air cabin filter and resistor is located at? I have an 06 f150 harley Davidson Edition

is this the door that is causing me to not have heat in the cab ?

Hey what’s up. My 2005 f150 won’t blow cold or hot, have you ever experienced that issue on yours ?

Replace 5 or 6 times. Parts always Dorman 604-218 ? and lifetime on part ? Autozone ?

Thanks man, did yours get stuck on hot air?

I just changed mines like 3 months ago tho

Did yours click my heater is not blowing hot air

maybe the cause is stuck door making actuator motors go bad

I give up took it to dealer ship

First problem I am mediately saw was it a doorman actuator doorman sucks always go factory ford
