Thanks so much! Was able to get it changed out in less than a half hour! I didn't screw it in until I moved the dial between heat and air to make sure it was all working right. Those screws were a pain but I used the same tools you did to get at them. Saved me a ton of time by covering all the bases in your video!! Thanks again!
Unfortunately I can't answer that question. I'd imagine it's a similar setup though. The actuators might just be in slightly different locations. Sorry I can't be a better help
my issue is the exact opposite to yours ....mine has the heat going on rather than cold ...ill assume that its the same actuator....i do not have the dual temp control...mine is like yours....do you think that this is the only one that could be defective ....crossing fingers...let me know what you think...much appreciated sir
I would venture to say yes, it's probably the same actuator that's the problem. It just got stuck in the heat position, rather than the cold. Hopefully, you'll be able to get it figured out.
Man I’ve never left a RU-vid comment in my life but I’ve just tested every relay and fuse -related and unrelated, and gone down every possible rabbit hole of why my heat and ac aren’t working just hoping I wouldn’t have to pull the dash out but here I am 3 hours and and 6 beers deep and your video just helped me confirm exactly what part I need to get this working again! Whacked the actuator while changing from cool to heat and watched the cam move and finally the heat kicked on. Can’t wait to go buy a new actuator and get this fixed, thank you!
This video literally helped fix a lot of stress, wife just got back from a trip and heater stopped working, with your video I was able to get it fixed . Thanks for the content
Great information I'm about to change the driver side one. Glad to know if my heat stops that will be my first stop. $1000 😂😂😂 thats what i was told came home RU-vidd the problem 30 min. And $25 later problem solved. These people are criminals.
"Calibration" I'm not too sure of. I was told, however, if you turn the temp control knob all the way to either temp and then just adjust the white cam until it aligns correctly. Hopefully that helps...
I replaced the mode door actuator this summer. It wasn’t easy and getting it to the correct position took a lot of trial and error. Today the blender door broke. At least it’s stuck on hot. It’s December. This looks a a little easier I hope. I did purchase the bumper to bumper extended warranty so I might check with the dealer. These broke within a year of each other. Obviously cheap design.
Thanks man. Got my heat going. My first attempt I just had hot and less hot. I definitely recommend holding the actuator there in its correct spot and testing before screwing back in the torx screws. Reaching up in the hole the actuator covered and manually moving the blend door to heat and setting the actuator to heat(plugged in but not installed) made it install right and work for me. The white cam piece came off with the actuator for me so it made installation pretty confusing and allowed me to install it wrong on first try.
Dude thank you. Having the same issue sometimes it’s stuck on cold sometimes it’s stuck on heat. Was about to tear into the dash rather than the passenger side.
I had no air coming out of the defrost. Changed the gas pedal side acuator and now I only have air coming out of the defrost and big vents. Anyone know how to fix this? Reset of sone sort.
2016 F150 3.5 Turbo Lariat was not blowing air cold or hot through dash and defrost vents. Used this video and not being short or small enough I also removed the driver's seat 4x 13mm to make more room. Fantastic fix can not thank you enough.
@@rafacordero8862 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ZYCplT3bdw.html he mentions it at this timestamp. If the vents aren't switching between face/floor/defrost then it's likely the driver side actuator. FL3Z-19E616-A part number. I have the same problem as yours and I'm hoping that's the fix.
To make diagnosing which door you need to replace simpler, a mode door actuator controls the flow position, i.e. floor, vent, defrost. a blend door actuator changes the temperature, cold to hot and vise versa. a recirc door actuator will change between fresh air and recirculated air. also, a recirc door actuator will almost always be very close to the blower motor itself.
Yes I believe so, if you have the dual zone control feature then I believe your culprit would be the actuator behind the middle vent inside the dash. It's much more difficult to access but it is possible and I have seen some videos that walk you through it. Good luck!
@@Zazu309 so I actually completed this fix yesterday and it ended up being the same one you replaced. Which I was relieved about and did not have to go through the vent.
You are correct. The driver side controls the direction and passenger controls the temperature. I lost the temperature control a month before I lost the direction control. Replaced the directional one and it wasn’t too bad. The temp control leaves it really hot or cold. No in between at all. This will be the next one. Thanks for the video!
