I did this on my 2010 f-150. There’s a lot of sharp metal behind that dash! My hands looked like I’ve been trying to give feral cats a bath. Nice job Rich.
Had my apprentice have the "it won't go together" complaint doing a blend door actuator the other day...told him to gently wiggle things and spin things and it'll go together...he didn't get it, took me 5 seconds to drop it place...then I took it right back out and told him to learn how to do it.
It's incredible this is still a problem. My 97 Explorer had the 'blend door' break and it cost $700 to fix it. Fercrissakes use metal instead of plastic.
My 2014 just started doing this today. I thought it might be a badly constructed bomb. lol Thanks for the vid, but that looks like a major PITA. I may just live with it. What's strange is it does it before I even start the car and continues for a while after the key is out.
@@FordBossMe I love you buddy I don’t care if other people don’t your so cool and honest what more could people want then this lol we are Lincoln brothers for life bud 😇🥰🙏👍♥️
After the new motor is installed, remove the fuse for a minute, then replace the fuse, then turn the key forward for a minute so it will perform a calibration.
did that one time on sisters explorer.i had to learn to do everything thru a small mirror.learned a ton about eye hand coordination, & working backward.it messes with your head.but turned out fine.
The Chevy Impalas had a similar problem. Replaced several actuators. I think it was for the recirculation door. Did plenty of blend door actuators on either side of the dou zone HVAC systems.
I hear you knockin butchu can't come in! Ive been changing these actuators since the 90s, like the Explorers. They weren't as loud as these newer ones though. Similar location and I use similar less invasive shortcuts. I almost miss 'em.
Just replaced mine and it's still knocking. For sure know it's this one because I can put my hand on it and fill it knocking. Confused why it would be knocking after replaced. I even tried doing what you said to reset. I even remove the fuse.
Glad it wasn't a little shop goblin in there with a tiny hammer. Once they get in the shop it is chaos! Good information. Wouldn't mind looking inside the little module gear box. 😁🙂🐶🐒
Great video, but we are having trouble getting heat on driver’s side. 2011 f150 lariat Have replaced 3 different actuator with Ford brand twice and still problems
When motor has power but isnt dropped in, i turn control knob all down on cold side. Should the motor gear keep spinning around in 360 continuously about four or five times, or is my actuator bad?
More fun when they don't click but just continuously run between hot and cold. I actually searched for "Ford AC possessed by demons" and found the solution.
Since I can make the clicking noise stop by putting the vent settings on FLOOR and FACE, I'm just gonna leave it lol. It only clicks when in the FACE-only, or DASH-only setting. And for the AC, not the heater. F150 2014 Lariat 3.5eco 4x4
You know surely be nice when you pay $60 to $90,000 for a truck or any car or truck that they would put a little bit better parts in the damn thing and not plastic it's crazy you got to pay 7 hours labor in California That's at least $140 an hour do the math The parts probably 25 bucks it's crazy
