- Is your air vent stuck on face, defrost, feet? This short video shows you what the likely culprit is, where to get the part, how to replace it, all for about $30 and 10 minutes of your day.
**NOTE** This is for the Vent Mode Actuator. If your problem is the Hot/Cold mixing, that is the Blend Door Actuator which is on the passenger side behind the dash, behind the airbag. That part number is Dorman 604-242. This video is about not being able to select Defrost/Defrost & Feet/Face/Face & Feet/Feet. Yours may be stuck in one of these 5 modes and won't change.
Vent Mode Select Actuator: AutoZone part number: Dorman 601-241
Mine was stuck on blowing on my face, yours may be stuck in another position. Its still the same fix in either mode. Very easy!
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@Adrien Draven instablaster ;)
@Princeton Elliott i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Princeton Elliott It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Adrien Draven you are welcome =)
thanks I just found out mine stopped working too when I went to the store. came home and watched your video going to get the part in the morning looks like a easy fix even for us big guys lol
This was extremely helpful and saved our family some money. Thank you for sharing!
Your video just saved me time and money! Thank you for posting these videos and helping out the little😀 guy...
Ur such a blessing, thank u. It worked on my 2010 Mercury Mariner. I now have defrost!
You just saved me a trip to the mechanic! Thank you!
2012 Escape - Thanks for the video! Exactly where & how.
Thanks for the great video and info, as it helped me correct the issue promptly! Thanks again!
Just bought this vehicle with the same problem. Thanks for the video.
Just fixed my 2008 Mariner purchased used at 92,000 miles. 120,000 miles now and I couldn't find the top screw... and realized this had been replaced before and someone never put in the top screw back in. Also if the cover just below the steering wheel is removed it makes this job a lot simpler. The position of the white post is not correct and I just moved the white wheel (near the center console) until it goes in easily, and 10 minutes of total time start to finish saved a small fortune.
Good video, thanks for the help.
Was there just 1 door vent?
If I remember correctly...one on each side of the console drivers side for the defrost ect. And passenger side was temperature ... its been working ok and I really don't remember all the details.
Oh okay haha ty i have the same car and I’m now trying to replace the part just stuck at the red tab not sure how to remove the harness
i think i just pulled it down as i pushed in with a very small screwdriver?
Thanks for the tutorial. I did however break that little red clip trying to detach the electrical plug. It still works, but is that a problem?
Great video! Thanks for the help.
Thank you very much for sharing this.
Thanks for the help!
I have the same exact problem, I hope this also fix the heat control because it’s always on high (very hot) no matter if I turn the the knob or not.
Very helpful, thank you!
Hardest part on my mom’s 2009 was the kick plate / panel under steering wheel, getting it yanked off.
Thank you very helpful 🎃
Thank you!
Thank you! It worked!
Crazy! Mine is not there, nor under passenger airbag. 2005 Ford Escape XLT V6. My vehicle manual does not show any details either. It only mentions it as a potential problem.
Thank You!
Thank you
I had issues with sticking in one position, reached up and messed with linkage arm, must have dislodged it, works but noticed last summer and again this spring switching from floor heat to vent AC it gets a grinding noise sounds like behind speedometer up in dash....do you all think it is vent door actuator going bad.....also is there only one other actuator that controls hot or cold and is it on passenger side next to glovebox
Thanks for the video, i am going to buy and fix this, but i have one question, on my car the ac ligth is always on when i start the car is that normal ,mine is 2008 escape
I have no heat at all drove it earlier had heat now nothing and its cold out
Hi, thank you for the video. Have you got any video to replace the actuator on a Ford Escape 2013 or later?
Thanks.
I got it rocauto for 13 including shipping!!
Replaced it but still doesn't work
I have the same issue on 2015 ford escape.. i will try it today .thanks my white brother from another white mother
Did this work for your '15 escape? My mom's escape is only blowing from the defrosters and floor. Everywhere I've looked calls for a +-$700 part "FV6Z-19B555-E" I would like to fix it for her cheaper than that!!!
@@freddiewhitener7989 damn! They are trying to sell you the whole control module and 500 in labor. I got 2014 with blend door about to go, it moves still but it clicks while moving to all the different vent places. Soon it will lock up! Isn’t it a shame/scam to use such a cheap piece of shit part that wears out every 2 yrs at most. The original Ford part will last about 5 yrs. 2014 Escape is what I have, your 2015 is exact same. Where was it? Hope you see this
Nice content! Keep it up! Would you like to be CZcams friends? :)
