BFG2: Crown Victoria Dashboard Teardown + Blend Door Actuator and Heater Core.

- Today's teardown illustrates how simply you can pull the dashboard out far enough to facilitate a blend door actuator or heater core replacement by removing three 7 mm screws, a 15 mm bolt, a 15 mm nut, six 13 mm nuts, three 10 mm screws, one 10 mm nut, and that's it! Removing everything else was just for fun and to show how easy it is to tear down a Panther dashboard.
I was unable to position the camera correctly to show the actual heater core and blend door actuator removal. However, once you have enough space they are pretty straightforward.
This dashboard teardown applies to the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, Mercury Marauder, and Lincoln Town Car.
I watched this while the rain kept me from working on my car and watched your 10m video to take my dash out. took me about 20m to get the actuator out but i noticed a wet spot on my passenger floor so i might have a heater core next.
thanks for the helpful videos
I'm going to share my brilliance with you.
I bought the shop manuals for a lincoln towncar 98 to 2002.
I'm going to learn the car like the back of my hand.
Then I'm going to always drive a panther platform vehicle because I'll be able to make the repairs because I'll know exactly how I did it before.
Manufacturers change the models constantly doing this I'll always know how to fix my car and not have to learn new procedures. I'll also learn all the common failure points of my generation of car. I have enough things to learn i don't need any more foreign to me things to fix. Yes, borrow my wisdom I don't mind!!!
Screw the haters..this is the best video i have found for the blend door replacement....tried the airbag method and its was a complete waste of my day. Wish i found this video first. Great job..plz keep making these videos!!!!!
Excellent video and information. I truly appreciate your help!
This is a great video. I appreciate the time you took to make it!
I was almost in tears watching this... As if I was in my back seat of my 04'LX... That's my car your dismantling! ! !
Clime control, dual electric seats, full controls on the steering wheel... and Freaking color! And the last Drive by Cable throttle! And Yes, the old style cable is the best! Timed my 2004 LX to my 2010 Interceptor and the LX had better times 0mph to 60mph and 100mph!
Whelp, I see what I will NOT be doing :)
Amazing video, thanks!
Awesome video!!!
Thanks!
@@MarauderV8 people in the panther world are sleeping on your videos!!! You have a-lot of gems
Why do u want to change the blend door
My crash plate feels like it’ll brack if I keep yanking on it I took 2 10mm screws out 93 Vic
Hello, how are you
I want to replace a heater core for my Grand Marquis. Do you recommend any specific high quality heater core? And what is the name of the company
good video .. my Q. how to reach rear air line for back seat, it's blow air very weak? no one ever talks about this part as much as I searched on CZcams, thank you.
I think it's always blown air weakly. The one thing that could be affecting it is your mode door. It's a door inside the HVAC box that directs air between the different vents (floor, dash, defrost) and has a weak plastic hinge. If it breaks or stops swinging all the way, it'll direct air through all of the vents at the same time, making it not blow as strong through any of them.

@marauderv8 can you do a video for just the heater core

Wow, i feel like I can do it now.. I was too intimidated to try to replace the blend doors (2006 LTC, which I’m told should be similar). But now I’m wondering if I should replace all *five* blend doors, once I open it up? Someone else did the diagnostics.
I haven't pulled an LTC dashboard, but the concept should be the same. The dashboard are built outside of the car then installed as one piece, so they are pretty easy to remove.
14:20, but i still have to pull a lot of dash pieces out in order to remove an aftermarket radio right?
No, just the two center trim pieces that have the buttons on them (that are covering the 7mm screws for the piece that surrounds the instrument cluster) and then the piece I pulled out there. That's it!
Most videos talk about removing the airbag to get to the blend door. Watching this video I can see how that’s a dumb idea. And will most likely not work. The blend door is too deep in there and up against the firewall. Breaking it off is just silly and incorrect. Take the time to drop the dash and your life is easy. Good video. But I would have liked to see the heater core removal. I mean don’t put it in the description if you didn’t have video evidence of you doing it.
I addressed that in the video - I didn't have the correct camera equipment that day to show the heater core removal, so I made another video that focuses on it.
👍
fuck that. I just set my door for heat.
Watched for over 20 minutes to get to the part I was waiting on (the blend door) and you skipped over it. Ugh! 😅
I made a video specifically for the heater core and blend door actuator, so check that one out for replacement!
Forget that Ill pay someone to replace the heater core......there is a reason why he is using a salvage vehicle, so he doesn't have to put it back together.
I did it in the junkyard because I didn't have a reason to pull my dashboard as I'd already replaced the heater core. Putting it back together is just as easy, but nobody is twisting your arm and forcing to do it yourself. If you want to pay someone else to do it then this video isn't for you.
