Thank you for creating this video, I’m a single mom and my explorer had no heat. I bought this part at auto zone for $34 and installed it myself. You saved me some stress and money 🎉 thanks again!

Thank you. Highly recommend removing the driver side lower panel to access that 3rd highest screw. Allows you to see it.

Does anyone know if this issue will affect the a/c and the heat? I definitely have the blend door issue but also my ac does not get cold after recharging it. Could that also be from the blend door failure??

Thanks! How in the heck do you get that top screw in or out? I had to remove 6-in of dash to get to it. Then I just left it off when re-assembling. Tried and tried but gave up. But.... it works! Thanks!

I took the dash piece off under the steering wheel and went in with a wobble socket long extension to get that top screw

Disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it should also do it. Correct?

@AbnormalGarage 2 жыл бұрын

No, the teeth on the gears inside the actuator that open and close the blend door are broken. That’s why it constantly makes a clicking sound.

@vivian5517 Жыл бұрын

Ok so I’ve taken all the screws out, I’m at the point of taking the actuator out. How the heck did you do it?!? It seems impossible to take out

@vivian5517 Жыл бұрын

Ok nevermind, I finally was able to get it out and put the new one in. Thank you so much for this video! After 2 years my car finally has heat 🙌🏽

@vivian5517 Жыл бұрын

@@thehistoricalrewind9677 I almost did 🤣 I think that’s the part that takes the longest is trying to get it out. I had to maneuver so many different ways. I think essentially what I did if I remember correctly, I tilted it farther in so I could situate it better to get it out. I know it’s been a couple weeks since you posted this, we’re you able to get it?

if your ford explorer is a little different, your lever might be on the bottom panel and you either have a little plastic arm like i have, or you have a spot where you can put a torx driver in and adjust it. i have a ford explorer 2006 here's a video here showing where it is kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdKpaapklb62hKs.html&ab_channel=ricksterq

@deemac1013 2 жыл бұрын

can this also make your car run hot?

@tcarney57 2 жыл бұрын

If you mean make your engine run hot? No. There's no relationship between the actuator and engine heat, except to the extent that having heat on in the cabin draws heat from the engine. If anything, then, it would theoretically make the engine cooler. Air conditioning, though, gets its compressor power from the engine which could make it run hotter, and the air-conditioning system dumps the cabin heat it removes in front of the engine's radiator making it--theoretically--run hotter.
