Thank you for creating this video, I’m a single mom and my explorer had no heat. I bought this part at auto zone for $34 and installed it myself. You saved me some stress and money 🎉 thanks again!
Thanks for making this vid! It is still helpful for sure because just looking at where the actuator is was enough to make me cry! Your vid showed me it was possible to fix and well done! I have heat again!
@@thehistoricalrewind9677 I almost did 🤣 I think that’s the part that takes the longest is trying to get it out. I had to maneuver so many different ways. I think essentially what I did if I remember correctly, I tilted it farther in so I could situate it better to get it out. I know it’s been a couple weeks since you posted this, we’re you able to get it?
Thank you for this video! I have a 2010 eddie Bauer explorer so configuration was slightly different but this helped tremendously to diagnose and replace the part! Saved me a bunch of $
Thanks! How in the heck do you get that top screw in or out? I had to remove 6-in of dash to get to it. Then I just left it off when re-assembling. Tried and tried but gave up. But.... it works! Thanks!
good video. thank you for the temp fix idea.looks like another exploder problem. maybe some one can come up with a all metal small replacement drive gear to fix this for good !
Does anyone know if this issue will affect the a/c and the heat? I definitely have the blend door issue but also my ac does not get cold after recharging it. Could that also be from the blend door failure??
I switched out my piece and the clicking has stopped when I put the ac/heater on 4. But the heater doesn't get hot, just warm and cool sometimes then back to warm
If you mean make your engine run hot? No. There's no relationship between the actuator and engine heat, except to the extent that having heat on in the cabin draws heat from the engine. If anything, then, it would theoretically make the engine cooler. Air conditioning, though, gets its compressor power from the engine which could make it run hotter, and the air-conditioning system dumps the cabin heat it removes in front of the engine's radiator making it--theoretically--run hotter.
if your ford explorer is a little different, your lever might be on the bottom panel and you either have a little plastic arm like i have, or you have a spot where you can put a torx driver in and adjust it. i have a ford explorer 2006 here's a video here showing where it is ua-cam.com/video/sly6G30XRTw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ricksterq

Great job!
How long did it take for you?
Way to go!
I'm having the same problem
I am going to do it this weekend
I've got an 06.... Like the rest said... well laid out video. nailed the issue and easy to follow.
Thank you very much!!
Was the 06 easier to get to? I have a 06 with the same problem

Good man. You made a very good video. Above all you look very professional in the video. Thank you !!!
Thanks this video is on point. I can't explain how worried I was I just put so much money in to this truck. Thank you You are much appreciated
Thank you!!! That is exactly my problem, now I can fix it because of your video 👍🏼
Is this also for ac ?
Thank you. Highly recommend removing the driver side lower panel to access that 3rd highest screw. Allows you to see it.
I just bought a car like this and I'm thinking of making it look like yours!! Over all Nice job man🔥
Thanks for the video. Heater no longer clicks and works fine. Thanks again
My 07 just broke. Thanks for this vid!!
Ok so I’ve taken all the screws out, I’m at the point of taking the actuator out. How the heck did you do it?!? It seems impossible to take out
Ok nevermind, I finally was able to get it out and put the new one in. Thank you so much for this video! After 2 years my car finally has heat 🙌🏽
Howd you do it because I’m over here about to give up

Great video little difficult to change, but had it done in two hours thank you
This is a fucking life saver. No more hour drive in 20 degree weather. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. I fixed the wife's Explorer today.

I took the dash piece off under the steering wheel and went in with a wobble socket long extension to get that top screw
I have a 2010 and it was fairly easy to get out. I put the new part in and it now blows heat but now my ac is not working
Thanks for your video. That noise is driving me crazy too.
good video. thank you for the temp fix idea.looks like another exploder problem. maybe some one can come up with a all metal small replacement drive gear to fix this for good !
Excellent video thanks for your time. Have a great life!
i have installed one of these but now it is stuck on heat. Is there a way to calibrate it?
Just ordered this part. Thank you.
Como se llama la pieza?
What a f’ing PITA!! I’ll take my explorer to the repair shop!!
Thanks so much for this video you’re a life saver! So amazing! 🤩
Thank you that definitely was the problem
Help I changed mine because it was clicking. I put a new one on but now it want change from cold to hot any suggestions?
Ayo I will have mines fixed today thanks bro
Does anyone know if this issue will affect the a/c and the heat? I definitely have the blend door issue but also my ac does not get cold after recharging it. Could that also be from the blend door failure??
Is it in the same spot if that is where your shifter is located?
Yes
I switched out my piece and the clicking has stopped when I put the ac/heater on 4. But the heater doesn't get hot, just warm and cool sometimes then back to warm
Did this fix an air directional control issue or temperature control issue?
Temperature
My vehicle doesn't have heat but makes a clicking noise what does that mean
It means you need to change the piece like in this video
Great video thanks
Disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it should also do it. Correct?
No, the teeth on the gears inside the actuator that open and close the blend door are broken. That’s why it constantly makes a clicking sound.
Very good ,thank you.
Does this also fix cold air?
I have this problem now and it sounds loud when your driving it sometimes HELP
I’ve had this happen to me but now my ac isn’t blowing out lol
Good 👍job 👏👍👌...
can this also make your car run hot?
If you mean make your engine run hot? No. There's no relationship between the actuator and engine heat, except to the extent that having heat on in the cabin draws heat from the engine.

Thank you man
Sorry, what’s the name for that part?
It’s called a blend door actuator. I’ve got it linked in the description of the video.
@@AbnormalGarage thank you!
Thank you for making this video I really appreciate it 😊
Thanks!!!

Como se llama la pieza?
Blend Door Actuator
Ty
That looks like a spinning reel gear especially from a Mitchell
Disconnecting battery should reset system. It should fix it that way correct
If you saw the part where he pulled it apart, these was a little gear that was missing teeth. So no, resetting it wouldn’t fix it
My heater stopped working all I hear is knock knock knock knock knock knock knock
My 2003 Ford explorer 4x4 high light blinking what that means
meaning your not in park before engaging so you need to bring it to a halt.,
The wheel sensor could be bad
What the part number?
Napa Tech Expert ADA100 - also says V19252 on the box. About $70
Lot of unnecessary work guy.. .. could have just taken the plastic off the side and used small 8mm rachet.. why pull console
Damn take the transmission out why don't cha!!
Spend 30$ for the part or 30k for new car lol
Much appreciated
