OMG! A BIG Texas THANK YOU from a 65 year old widow who WAS having air flow problems in a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer! I watched your video and went out in the 99 degree weather...uggghhh...and prayed I could get the A/C working again. I lowered the glove box and the components were not the same as the above 2004 HVAC, but I found the red wire and fooled around with it and then whacked the housing from underneath, like my mechanic showed me four days ago when the blower was first pooping out. I turned on the engine and turned on the switch to A/C, and OUT CAME THE COLD AIR IN FORCE!! May God RICHLY bless you, motoYam82, for helping all of us to get our vehicles back in running order!! I am now a subscriber, and I'm going to tell all my family and friends to watch your videos when they're having any problems with their vehicles. You da bomb!! ;~D

In my opinion drilling a hole in the plastic control arm (in the exact spot where the pin was) and then hook a little 6mm screw with 2 nuts bolted together would fix it with a better outcome, Thank you for the video Ivan.

Thanks for the information. I had looked at videos for a couple days and wasn't able to find the information that I needed. After watching your video I was able to locate the problem, which was the same as with this explorer . I was able to get airflow out the vents by pushing it open manually . When you change to defrost the front vent closes. When you want the front vent to blow push it open . Works until I have time to do a more in depth repair. Thanks again.

Woohoo! I have cold air blowing out of my AC vents again in my '05 Ford Explorer. I recently bought it from a friend and when it was colder weather I didn't really notice it.

I had the same problem on my 2003 Ford Explorer. I did use a zip tie to hold the door open so I had air through the front vents. The plastic piece broke clear off on mine. I didn't see a way to reconnect it with out it costing a lot of money.. There is not much room to work without tearing into the dash. Air works great and once winter hits I will just remove the zip tie if I need to.. This has been a great truck for me. Normal wear and tear. They don't run forever with out having problems.

I simply tuned in to your video to find out how to fix my main vents. I am not a mechanic, I’m a female and believe it or not. I can do some of the repairs myself simply by watching KZfaq videos. I have no my it still has the original paint that looks great. It truly is a good looking truck. I did not need a diatribe on what a piece of junk you think that my truck is can I tell you that I have 271,000 miles on my 2003 Ford Explorer, I have never put a transmission in it, it’s the original engine and the only repairs that i’ve had to do are just standard routine fixes. I’ve never had a check engine light on and the Ford Explorer up until 2005 was built on the Ranger chassis after 2005. It was built on a car chassis so if you have a Ford Explorer older than a 2005 you actually have a real truck, check back with me in a year or two when I’ve hit 300,000 miles and I’m still trucking.

At about 11 mins, you gave the best quick tip there is, which applies to nearly every vac actuated system there is, and has ever been... If you lose the vac source, it will default to defrost and some floor vent flow. The switched modes will not change. If you can change the modes but lose them will driving, IE the flow goes to def/floor under accel, the vac canister is leaking or the check valve has gone bad.

MANY THANKS for this video. Saw it last night and fixed my '03 this morning in about 45 minutes (only took that long because I considered other solutions). The plastic piece attached to the door was broken at the hole. Instead of just prying the handle in the open position, my first thought was to epoxy a metal repair piece to the plastic on the door flap and reattach the actuator to it. I decided that would be more difficult than necessary (there is a darn metal piece that really gets in the way of working on this) so instead I drilled an additional hole into the plastic arm and ran a zip tie through it and the actuator's hole. Seems to work fine for the time being with full functionality. I suppose the zip tie could wear out but I basically only flip it back and forth between summer and winter so it won't get a lot of use, and it is easy enough to reinstall another zip tie. I'm guessing it will be good for a hundred cycles at least.

Ivan good fix, I ran into this about a month ago same year exploder. I used a drill extension on a right angle drill and drilled a small hole into what was left of the arm. it had broken in half. then threaded a piece of mechanics wire thru it and thru the hole in the actuator and twisted it ,cut off the excess. I explained to the customer that the wire would eventually cut thru the plastic but for now it all works.
@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics9 жыл бұрын
George Heri Yeah that was my concern too, since the actuator extends and retracts with significant force past the range of the plastic arm...maybe something more elastic like a piece of heater hose? Just a poorly engineered design.

Hi, 07 nissan altima recently has weak air flow when turn on AC. If AC is off, the fan working fine, air comes out fine. Turn on AC, it works for few minutes then the air flow becomes weaker and weaker to the point there is no air comes out (whether re-circulated or not), when set the air on high you still hear the motor blowing noise but no air, cool and heat still work because when you turn off AC and just use the fan, air does come cool, or hot depends on the setting of the AC before turned off. New cabin air filter. I am very confused, so it works fine for few min then no air, but if turn off AC and set the fan run only, air does come out strong. Will coolant cause the problem because I recently notice the coolant reservoir is low so I toped it off (buying the coolant from dealer and mixed up wit water as instruction) and it stayed between min and max level since then... please help.

I've noticed on fords and dodges (atleast the trucks), without the a/c on and you have the temp dial turned to cold, the air always seems to come out somewhat warmer than the outdoor temp. My old caprice does not do this. it is like the fords/dodges dont seal off from the hot coolant or something...also, our '07 dodge trucks at work had the issue with the plastic being stripped and the air direction thing wasnt vacuum...they had to take it all apart to get it to work. what a pain. the vacuum on my caprice works just fine...29 years old with 300 000kms...cant complain.

freaking thank you. was told repeatedly it was the filter, it wasn't. going to use a cotter pin though. And yes all those issue do happen at once it's a mess.
