This is a 02 Ford Explorer that has a broken and worn heat blend door actuator. The labor at a dealership with parts is approx $700-800 if you take it to the pros, The cost of the part is approx $65.00 if you want to do it yourself, or you can give this a try and save even more.
The part I will be referring to later in the video is a plastic flap, which is approximately 3" long and is located almost directly behind the wires you see in the video along the edge of the wall compartment. It needs to be pushed down, and you will hear it as it reaches the correct position.
Once you locate this, it will only take a few seconds to change in the future.
The blend door will easily work with the air condition control knobs, but once you switch it to cold air, you will need to switch this back manually as in the video.
Hope this tip helps.

If you have the Eddie Bauer edition, search for this video: "How to fix the heater in a 2006 ford explorer". Robert, this is a great starting point, but I couldn't find the flap due to my different model. I struggled for a while in the glove box area but found a video that told me to remove the panel to the left/below the glove box... so just wanted to let other viewers know in case they have the Eddie Bauer edition.

Thank you SOOOOO much for this video! I was about to spend 375.00 at a local auto shop to have this problem fixed, but something in my spirit told me to search RU-vid for solutions first. Your video REALLY WORKS! I just went out to my truck and fixed the problem in less than 5 minutes! I really appreciate this upload :)

I reached my hand in without being able to see, felt the bumping, touched the lever, flipped it down , and bam!, HEAT! Very easy to do, the lever has no power, so it doesn't pinch you or hurt, in fact it has the power of a new born, so if your a girl, don't worry it doesn't hurt. In fact small hands will work better. Go over the big group of wires, not thru them. Over then down, youll feel it, have the heater going while you do it, makes it easier to find. Good luck all.

This is the 3rd time my blend door motor has gone bad .. The first time a friend of mine did it for 200 in labor the second time I took the dash apart to get to it .. The third time was a charm like they say thanks to this video I just flipped it over and saved a bunch of cash .. Your video is greatly appreciated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I drilled a hole just above the right side of the console. I then opened the glove box, looped a zip tie around the actuator arm, fished the tie thru the hole I drilled, AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!! No disassembly required! Very nice ingenuity 👍

This worked beautifully...could not find the flap, but looked inside & saw it moving and pushed it. Winter will be oh so much warmer!

About 3 months ago i had the same problem wich i fixed after watching this vid Two days ago a friend of a friend was complaining about the same problem 5 minuts later he was having heat again and he didnt belive how easy was to do since he had it at repair shop and they gave him an estimate of $872 and a couple of days to fix. "Use your brain before you open your purse" old saying that some people confuses with cheapness. Again thank you very much.

Glad this video helped.... the next video I will be doing will be replacing the thermostat housing in the '02 Explorer. This is a common issue...where the temperature gauge goes haywire and needs to have the lower housing replaced. Ford Repair shop= $450.00 repair. My guess the parts are going to be around $85.00 plus an hours work.

Happy Sunday explorers drivers. I finnally got mind into this and done. Took me 10 minutes and got heat. Thanks so much for the posting .I saved money and now will use it for fixing tire valve. Worse was to try to explain to the wife what I was gonna do she got inquisite and took me longer to convince her than to fix.

Thank you so much for your kind words......I love my explorer so much, but mine is almost 11 years old now, and is beginning to need a few things done to keep it properly maintained. If you have any other stressful issues regarding your own explorer, just ask, and I will see what I can do to help.

It worked! Thank you so much! My lever was toward the bottom below the wires, but I could feel it move, and I just flipped it backwards.
