Thank you for clearing all of that up my guy I almost went digging for a blend door motor that didn't exist underneath on the passenger side. You really saved me some time thanks bud.
Thank you because I was trying to figure out if I was gonna have to check both but this is the only one I found for a manual. WHich I bought the manual and no rear air for the purpose of less to go wrong since no one ever travels with me! And I do have the column shift so mine seems to be the easiest one.
I have the separate driver and passenger climate controls, and I can assure you there are more than 2 blend door actuators. I've replaced 4 on my 2011 f-150. The 2 you pointed out, plus one near the blower motor on the passenger side, and another one almost directly up from the gas pedal.
My 2011 Ford f-150 has already been repaired twice in 3 years, now it's stuck again and clicking trying to open. I paid over 800 bucks each time because both mechanics told me they have to disassemble the whole front panel to get to it. and it takes 8 hours of labor to get to it. Are you saying since I have a column shifter that it's easy for me to undo a couple of clips and some screws and I can get to the actuator myself?
I’m guessing this may be my problem. I have no clicking, like it did when I replaced the one by the gas pedal. My hot and cold have a mind of it own, sometimes. I 100% my system is charged a working. Worth a try.
Thank You Brother.. I currently have this problem. I was riding one morning late spring of this year, I started my truck and let it warm up before I left the house. I got in the truck to leave and my ac was pumping hard and it was cool outside so I turned my temperature knob pretty fast towards warm and I guess it broke loose or something and was stuck in Full AC mode and now won’t blow warm air.. any idea how much it’ll cost me to get it fixed somewhere..? Thank You
I have a 2012 with dual climate control. I’ve already replaced the bottom pain in the ass one about two years ago. Now my truck is only blowing hot air on the passenger side, but drivers works perfectly fine. Which actuator would it be? The top behind the radio, or the bottom annoying one?
Hello Im having a issue with my air recirculation button, It turns on by itself and I turn it off and within a few seconds it turns back on? Any Idea on what it can be?
Good video, just had this issue popped on my f150, I'm suspecting of this actuator but I'm little doubtful since when I turn the temperature knob I hear and feel the air flow change speed and flow rate going from hot to cold.
My 2014 had a noise coming from under the dash, passenger side. Found another video that said same thing you said, that the star shapped nipple can break off. I found it in the blades of the blower motor. Weird thing is, I don't have issues with the change between hot or cold. It's been about 2-3 years since this happened. Not sure why I seem to be the only one that doesn't have the hot/cold being stuck on happening.
Hi i have f150 2013, it's also the same as yours. It's electronic but manual, it doesn't have dual climate control. Passenger side works fine but the drivers it's like stays on warm. I tried to check the bottom actuator but there's no actuator there. Is it also the same location of actuator like yours, behind the radio?
The actuator behind the radio controls the temperature of the whole system hot to cold, so if passenger side works fine then it’s the one on the bottom. It should have one, the full electronic climate control had three yours like mine had two.
I have a 2010 Lariat f150 without the middle console. The driver side will only blow out cold air. Which blend door actuator is that. The top one or the bottom one? It also makes a clicking noise.
That clicking noise is the stripped actuator. The top one is for hot to cold so listen or feel where the clicking noise is coming from, it's probably the bottom one unless you have automatic climate control.
Dual climate control has 3 actuator’s and the one on lower drives side is the one that’s bad. You should be able to hear or feel the clicking in that area.
Would you know if this will help my problem My ac is stuck on cold both sides driver and passenger even when I move my temperature to 70°F it feels like I have it on low
You do NOT have to remove the console if you have the shifter on the console. All you need to do is pull or pry the panels on the Left and Right of the radio, navigation, etc slightly out so that the faceplate clips can be detached and you'll be able to pull the center face plate with no problem...
You risk cracking or breaking the plastic that way but hey if you don’t mind that go for it. It’s not the right way just because you got luck if you did it that way
@@Motorcarnut lol, well you're actually putting little to no pressure at the bottom of those side panels. You're only pulling at the top and the middle, which have no screws. You're pulling just enough to get the center panels clips from under the lip of the side panels... Now if I were to apply pressure to the bottom, trying to pull them off, then yes, I would Crack them, but you honestly shouldn't damage anything doing it the way I stated.. It will save an enormous amount of time and effort.. I have this very truck and I removed that actuator with no problem whatsoever. On the back screw of the actuator, you need to drop the glove box open, reach in and remove that second screw accessing it from behind. I've seen video's where people are forcing a swivel ratchet on the far side, having to shave various parts to get the socket and ratchet to work, but coming in from behind simply requires a small 8mm wrench and you have it off with about 10 half turns.. I say half because there is obstruction with ventilation duct and wiring harness that will hinder you from making full rotation on that screw.
What’s weird with mine is that I changed it and it’s blows cold air all around in my truck now thank god. But Every time I turn my truck on it still knocks and idk what. But the knock is behind the radio
It sounds like it’s stripping again. Did you check before installing the actuator if the air box was binding? That could cause the new one to fail if too much strain
@@Motorcarnut no I made sure it fit right into place and didn’t move one bit tested it out and it didn’t knock, but as soon as put everything back into place tried it out again and it knocked 3x times and stopped and blew out cold ac
I remplace the blend door behind the radio but no make any diference is still blowing Berlín could and no change to heat? Do you know what is the problem?
That actuator behind the radio is for the air temperature. Not sure why you still have the problem, do you hear it move? Unless the Air Box where it mounts to is stuck or broken?
