Blend door actuator motor location needed

I attached the info for this. The driver side actuator is under the dash towards the center of the vehicle. Let us know if you still can't find it and we will look for other information.

Hi,

The actuator is located under the dash on the left side of the HVAC box. Here are the directions and pictures to help you locate it and replace it:

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Sure I can help you.

Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when changing the blend a door actuator:

You will need to change the mode door actuator which is located (below) it looks like it is on top (bummer) Try to get it through the glove box.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

I would also suggest testing the control head itself for faults before tearing the car apart. If the controller was working when the short happened it may have burnt out a circuit inside.

Good evening,

Thanks for the video.

It sounds like the actuator but there are 3 in the dash.

Did he check the other actuators? There is an air door actuator and the blend door. The blend door is on top of the heater case and the dash has to be removed to access. The air door is behind the glove box.

As far as the leak, I would take it to a car wash and look under the dash when the high pressure water is hitting the roof and see where the water is coming from.

Okay, when you command heat and cold, does the noise get worse?

Change nodes as well. See if the noise changes.

The blend door is on top of the heater case under the windshield. The dash has to be removed to gain access.

No the top is not easy at all.

Roy

In the heater but check to see if vacuum motor is getting vacuum and opening door. both are pointed out in schematic i'm sending (BELOW) it may be the control has a vacuum leak.

This guide can help

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Again, in what mode does the noise change? I need to know which one is making the noise.

You stated in the beginning that your guy replaced the blend door actuator. Is he still around?

Roy

From your description of the noise and when it happens, it sounds like the mode actuator which direct air to the defroster.

REMOVAL
1. Disassemble the instrument panel to remove the windshield defroster hose nozzle and evaporator register ducts.

2. Remove the screws.

3. Rotate the vacuum control motor, disengage the lever and remove the vacuum control motor.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to bend any part of the lever. It is brittle and will break.

INSTALLATION
1. Follow the removal procedure in reverse order.

Sorry. I'm not an expert on heater boxes. I posed your problem to my cousin who had an actuator problem on his '97 Ranger. Here is his reply:

By actuator, are we talking the blend door? On the truck there is the blend door that is turned 90 degrees by a motor that is mounted above it. To get
at the door itself, I emptied the glove box, tipped it forward, and at that point, could see the heater/air box assembly. On the back side(seat side) left side, I cut a hole with the solder gun. Made the hold big enough that I could get my hand in. Put hand forward as far as you can reach and feel to the right--that's where the blend door is. A Ford mechanic told me that sometimes people put stuff on the dash, it falls down through an opening and jams the door, sometimes breaking the door. In my case, the top of the door shaft where the motor goes in was partly broken. I glued a small piece of plastic to the motor shaft, trying to get the door to turn with half of the
shaft missing, Make sure to put some lube on there, otherwise will squeak, and bind. My guess is that if it's making some kind of clicking noise, there will be some foreign object in the box. Feel around, and make sure to check behind the door in that compartment. The door without the motor
mounted moves real easy, and on the ranger, will give you full heat without the motor. Hope this helps. You should have plenty of room to work on it
with the glove box tipped forward. If you are going to pull out the whole assembly, not worth the grief or cost. When done, cut a piece of tin, etc, and mount over hole, and fasten with 2 screws.

Hi Nick. Just got back from visiting my cousin. Look at the sides of your glove box when it is open. If there are slots on the back, you can squeeze the sides in. There are stops on the outside that have to pass through the opening, then the door should fold down.
