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.
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 one on the driver side by the pedal IS the one I replaced in the video. Very easy to get to. You don’t have to move anything out of the way. #8L84-19E616-CA
Are you doing the one on the driver side, above the pedal? I was able to reach all of the screws. I’m pretty sure I used a 1/4 ratchet with an extension. (It’s been a while now though)
i have a 2014 with dual climate. i don't have any clicking noises at all but I don't have heat on the drivers side or in the rear vents. i only get heat out of the passenger side vents. so from what I understand I need to replace the actuator that is down by the gas pedal?
@@nicholasrots yes, unfortinatly it is the hardest one to get to. it is the lower one in the center of the truck. i did a hack method the change mine. i took apart the center console and removed it. and a couple bits off the lower side of the dash and using pry bars and actually ended up cutting the passenger side floor vent In half I was able to get the actuator out and replace it. there are a couple videos on here that helped me ill try and find them and link them. good luck man. btw get the motocraft part the aftermarket ones are thicker making them harder to install.
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.
Thanks for the step by step, just finished my 2013. Only thing, in the video when you take off the face plate before pulling screws for the screen and I'd player. That top plug in don't mess with. Just put plate on dash. Almost broke it trying to get it off. Thanks again for step by step took me 2 hours.
My recirculate is stuck open, but the clicking is only on "top vent" setting and goes away on bilevel setting. Sounds like the gas pedal one is the source of the ticking but how do I fix recirculate? 2014 fx2
In my 2013 f150 lariat ecoboost my driver side works heat A'/C etc but the passenger side doesnt get hot air which acuator would that be the one on the top or the one the bottom i have the recirculator accuator behind the glvoe box to put in but i dont think reciruculator accuator controls the heat on passenger side. any help before i decide to tear into it.
@@benjaminhiggs4052 I believe it one of the two that are behind the infotainment screen. One is up high, the other down low. You can call the parts dept at a Ford dealer or do what I did and just listen/feel for the one that was clicking.
Have a 2011 f150 platinum,all of the blend doors quit working , calibrated twice ,checked fuse still done of them work,I the past 2 years 3 have been replaced, now they all blow hot air.nobody can tell us what is wrong with them
They don't even break. The computer in the truck is programmed to stop recognizing certain components throughout the life of the truck, so you keep spending money on the truck long after you have paid the vehicle off.
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!
@mrnobodysgarage won't fit. Had to remove the gas pedal. The gas pedal is far too close to get to the tip 8mm bolt. You can get to the bottom with a ratchet wrench.
Just curious, I have a 2013 F150 FX2 experiencing a blend door actuator issue. I have heat on the passenger side and cool on the driver's side. I've seen videos saying the cause of this was due to the one on the very bottom. What did the actuator you replaced on the driver's side control?
@@steveboles3958 I’m not 100% sure which part of the system it controls, but it was clicking so that was enough to make me replace it. If you call the parts dept at any Ford dealership, they can tell you exactly which one does what.
I mean… it’s not like you drove around for months cursing your truck every time you started it and putting off the repair because it was a tough spot to get to 😂😂😂 After you get off that nutcracker I’ve got a nice warm pumpkin stout waiting for you. Extra lactose 🥛
thank you so much for this video. My C blend motor by gas pedal was my bad one. King Ranch has fancy pedal that you need a 13mm socket to get the 3 bolts loose and get it out of the way. My local auto parts had a Dorman part in stock, and all Ford parts will be too late and ship when I was out of town. Again, thanks!
@@mrnobodysgarageplease PLEASE if you can, HELP! I have an 06 lariat f150 and the a/c works great but all of a sudden, the heat ONLY blows cold air. I changed the blend door behind the radio already and now I'll be trying to find the others and also fins out if that's the problem? Any advice? I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for the video because your very informative and educational with it.
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.
Hmmmm…. Mine didn’t come with any tool… I actually didn’t have to align it either. It was a straight replacement. That annoying part took like 5 mins to swap.
@mrnobodysgarage dang lucky you! That was the most frustrating part for me. The gapped side just wouldn't line up with the door and you can't spin the actuator obviously. But yeah mine came with a little tool for it. Otherwise I probably would have made it worse 🙃
@@twnable Yes you are right. The exposed gear on actuator has a keyway and must be aligned with blend door keyway. The Dorman comes with the alignment tool not the Motorcraft. I was able to cut down a plastic knife to align the parts.(fits inside the the blend door female gear to turn and align with new actuator. New actuator has a alignment arrow at keyway) I was laying face up and kind of difficult to get the prospective of what your seeing. If I was more flexible I would start face down and look up. LOL
We have replaced several of the blend doors , but now they have all quit working at the same time ,was told it might just need to be recalibrated ,well we did that checked the fuse ,and it still blows hot air , will be a great heater when winter gets here, nobody can tell us why they all go out at the same time
What exactly is the part number you replaced (the one right above the gas pedal)? The part in the bag is 19E616-C but you when you point to the diagram, you say 19E616-B is the one "you are replacing right now" and point to 19E616-C as the one you thought you had to replace. Just want to confirm before ordering. Thanks. By far best video I've found.

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.

what about the big metal piece blocking you from unscrewing the last screw

@@elchapojr5613 honestly, I managed to get a long thin hex wrench on it and got it off. I did not try to put it back on when installing the new part.

So if you have heat on passenger side, but no heat on the driver side. Which Blend door actuator would cause that problem. AC works fine.
There are 4 actuators total. One on the drivers side above the pedal, two in the middle (one high and one low) and one on the passenger side.
Same issue I have
