    Actuators Part# and purpose
    Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1933 - Blend Door Actuator (Single climate control has 1x actuator)(Dual climate control has 2x actuators)
    -Mixes cold and hot air to set temps. People have noted that it will click when changing temp drastically as its changing how much hot or cold air is flowing.
    -Single climate control: Behind radio slightly on passenger side.
    -Dual climate control passenger side issues: Behind radio slightly on passenger side, also same place as single climate control systems.
    -Dual climate control drivers side issues: Behind and slightly below glove box.
    ***Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1881 - Mode Door Actuator (**One in the video**)
    -Controls direction air is flowing (floor, dash vents, windshield). Will click when first getting in truck, as well as when the air direction is changed.
    -Next to gas pedal on drivers side. Easiest to replace and easiest to test. For testing, just reach up and undo cable clipped to it. If clicking stops, you have the correct one. If its unplugged and still clicks its one of the other ones.
    Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1770 - Air inlet Actuator
    -Changes the vent to allow air in from the outside or circulate the air in the cabin.
    -People have noted that when changing the air from inside to outside or outside to inside it clicks. This can be tested by only changing the one aspect of the hvac, AC must be off otherwise it will try and close the vent automatically to cycle cabin air. Otherwise, the other actuators may click as well giving you a false noise when you think you are testing this one. This is also the hardest to replace.
    I had this all written down on a note, prior to seeing this video. Mine YH1881 started clicking like 3yrs ago, so I looked into for a while to get a better understanding of the entire system. I like to work on my own vehicles so notes like this help.

      For dual climate control. Which actuator would cause truck to have no heat on drivers side of the truck, but heat on passenger side works.

      Which one would cause all cold air to flow out when I'm trying to get heat. I Only Get cold air either way. I changed the one behind the radio and that wasn't the issue. Any ideas on how or what can be causing this issue? PLEASE & THANK YOU! (FYI: I have 06 lariat)

    So I didn’t watch your video to the end. Before starting. And I followed it step by step. It is very thorough. After removing all parts of the dash. The part I had was not bad. And it was the one under the steering wheel. Also, the part from rock auto they provided for the year make and model of my truck has differ a different configuration for the pins. On the electrical connector. So I could not use it. So I had to put the original part back in behind the dash. Granted the whole thing only took me about 2.5 hours. It was a lesson I didn’t really want to have learn.
    Thank you for the video it was very helpful.

    The recirculation/outside air actuator actually does fail fairly regulary and is a major pain to fix. Fortunately there are videos on youtube. I started with the problem in this video a few months ago, and just the other day the recirc flapper broke. You will know this happens when all of a sudden your whole interior shakes and it sounds like a jet engine is spooling up inside your dash.

    Question? When I turn on my heater it blows nice and hot out of the driver side. But the passenger side blows ice cold. Even though I tried setting it to hi heat. Still cold on passenger side. Would it be this one you are replacing? Or the lower one. I'm confused because I called and talked to a "ford guy" at ford and he tells me the lower one controls the heat on passenger side. And I'm thinking he's wrong 😆 anyway thanks!

    Notes for next time amigo. The driver side, you have to align the door the actuator attaches to with a 1/4 inch socket to match the position of the new actuator. New actuator should come with the tool for the socket.
    And when mine failed it was the teeth on the wheel under the circuit. Just got brittle and popped one off.
