THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH for having this video!!!! We were replacing ours last nite and got to this point and were soo very frustrated that we almost caved and took it to a shop. Thank you again...going outside now to finish replacing the heater blend door actuator. You are a lifesaver and money saver!! Lisamarie & Craig
Excellent video! I've been dreading removing the center console just to get to that actuator. This just saved me a big headache.
Great work. I did the exact same thing as you did! Broke the rear off and bingo. Done!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks - definitely a time saver busting off the back mount. I changed 3 of these now (different trucks - F150 and an Expedition. I can probably do it with my eyes closed now.
I have a 2013 F150, was very fortunate there was no back bolt in the actuator. Thanks for the video...I was prepared to use the pliers method :)
5🌟 video. Best one I've seen yet. Short, clear, efficient, and simple. Saw one video where the guy removed his seats to do this😆.
Haha, thanks. Yeah I’ve seen lots of videos on this where guys have over complicated it. Unfortunately I’ve done this too many times to count in my f150s and Expedition. Crazy but I can probably do it with my eyes closed now
Great vid - love seeing common sense tips that work! Good job...
Thanks man!
@@fixitwithzim BTW - your video saved me at least 30 mins of time and I appreciate it. Took me a little less than 2 hours to complete by not having to remove everything. I'll buy you a beer next time your in Dallas area!
Thanks for the info and the links. Very helpful.
You’re welcome!
Great video thanks.
good video. i had to do the same thing (breaking the old part). the stealership wanted almost $1000. to fix this $60 part. LOL! DIY for the win!
Hey Zim. Great video. On my 2011 all systems work except when blowing on high on max a/c you can here blowing on high but little come out of vents. Thx. JP
Thanks for the video. I was searching for a video w/ the shift console between driver/passenger as opposed to on the steering column. Question. Did you have to loosen/detach the left or right side silver dash panels that "hold" the 4WD (LH) selector switch and cigarette adapter (RH)? If so, how did you do that on this arrangement?
No, didn’t need to remove that panel to do this work...just the radio bezel
Good idea.
Thank you!
So which one controlling the air flow,mine is not blowing enough air but everything works.
Heat and AC vents,
But when vents are all open not much air coming out.
Which actuator is bad
2017 f150 xlt NOT dual climate control
With a/c on I only have cold air on passenger side and rear with dual climate control, would this be the same actuator or is it the lower one? TY
I believe that’s the issue I had which would be the top…but this was a while ago and I don’t have this truck anymore. Sorry I can’t help more
I have a 2012 fx4. I have ac blowing cold on the driver side but hot air on the passenger side. Is this the same scenario ? Thanks so much for your help!
If you have the temp control set to AC and getting hot on the passenger side, then yes, this is your issue. Easy fix, just takes an hour or 2.
zimsjeep thank you sir! I got the part and fixed it today. Took about an hour and a half!
Sarah C Glad you got it fixed!
Thanks for the caveman hack😂 I did it it work ford need to make this a metal peice instead of plastic I have a 2013 lariat 240k on it with no issue other than blend door every year 🤦🏾♂️
Great vid bro. Does this fix the clicking noise from using the ac too?
Thanks bud...Yes, the actuator would be the part that needs to be replaced if you hear clicking
Thanks for the response brother! Really appreciate it
Changed mine no change in problem.
My 2010 Raptor F-150 blows only hot air. I can change where the air comes from but it is always hot. AC is hot also. Is this a blend door problem?
Yes, Most certainly the blend door
Any suggestion to replace actual blend door 😅 for passenger side, my truck’s passenger side blender door is broken, I found the broken piece in blower.
Ohh man, that sucks! Unfortunately I do not, never had to do that repair yet. Of course now that I’ve said that, mine will break within the next couple of days. Good luck with the repair. Most of it is easy stuff just time consuming with that amount of stuff you need to remove to get to the part.
Fix It With Zim thank you sir. As of today I found less time consuming is to saw the plenum and do replacement 😅.
@@005preetham sounds good. Take the path of least resistance!
If you are really careful after you get the old actuator out, take a long thin sawsall blade and cut the back tab with screw when you re-install the actuator you undo the screw from the support and reinstall it to the back loop of the actuator and then install on the front two posts. Glue if you want, I just let mine stay dry or unglued.
Son of a faaaaak. Thanks man. I know for next time
The heat getting to the actuator melts the grease and makes the gears dry this is what binds them up
sorry for what im going to say but do it the right way or quit: look for ford tech makuloco he post a great video about this problem
Just leave that screw out. Don't bother with this like he did.
Yes, you can leave it out. I’ve done it both ways with no ill affects.
@@fixitwithzim it's not worth messing with, not to mention the next person to change it out isn't going to know that you cut it like that and they're going to fight the thing unnecessarily lol
