After installing the new blend door actuator(s) you new to recalibrate the ATC (Automatic Temperature Control) so it knows the limits of the new actuator(s). To do this , remove fuse numbers 20 and 28 (10 amp fuses) from the fuse box under the dash above the emergency brake . After one minute, put the two fuses back in and you will hear the two blend door actuators moving and automatically recalibrating the system.
Awesome video! Thank you so much. The others I saw pulled the entire center console and that brace. Took me 10 minutes. PS. I'm a 62 year old woman.
this appears to be for the temperature blend door not the vent mode actuator. do you have one for vent mode? in particular for the one that has dual zone climate control. TiA
Just changed the actuator on my '09 Explorer. Thanks for the step-by-step video...worked like a charm! The part is: Motorcraft YH-1744 Blend Door Actuator
+b k Thank you for your order. If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to our reviews section. Have a great day! goo.gl/i5JFNY
How about the mode door actuator to control which vents the air comes out of ?
I have a 2010 Explorer and other videos that I have watched suggested to take the whole console off. I picked up an extension for my ratchet set and had this done in under an hour.
do you have one for the passenger side
AND
if the door is getting stuck on the passenger side, do you have a video for fixing that or lubing it
Looks easy enough but I don't think my fingers are getting in those tight spots. Thanks for the video!
Hello 2005 Ford Expedition blows hot air from the front vents and no ac and not blowing to floor or defrost when I change the mode. The air only comes out through the front vents. I replace the blend door actuator already but the same thing. Is there a mode selection actuator that I need to change to or is vacuumed? Thanks in advance.
What’s that white bendable corrugated tube for? Mine is missing
Mine doesn't have it either but i noticed a white plastic elbow fitting just above the actuator that air blows out of. That hose looks like it leads to that area but can't see it in the video
I'm told I need a rear blend door actuator for clicking sound in rear of vehicle. Is there a video for the left back clicking? I can't turn on the rear ac without the sound.
awesome video very helpful, my SUV is exactly like this car. Not sure but do you guys have a video for the rear HVAC temperature blend actuator?
Is it gonna be the same for a main manual temperature control spot or is it in a different spot for it
My 2010 explorer is blowing cold out of the defrost vents, floor vents, & rear vents however not the front vents towards me. This is 7/10 times as sometimes my front vents do work as they should. I can’t seem to find a hose leak/crack. Could this be my issue?
Firstly, I am not an expert so I highly advise you to look at other forums and such just so you can do what you think is best. Now, off the bat I'd say it is probably your actuator since you're getting hot and cold air. One thing you can do to check is get in the car turn it and the a/c fan on then slowly turn your temp dial while listening for a click or thunk coming from near where the actuator is. If you hear that then it's probably the actuator or at least involves the actuator. Also worth noting is it could be one spot on the temp dial or 99% of the temp dial that causes the sound and it may take a second to start. Also you may want to adjust the fan speed just so you can hear it. Hope this helps
I have a 2003 ford explorer xls with the same noise. Is the taking off the actuator the same process
Is this sufficient for an 05 Explorer? Seems like this actuator, along with my blend door actuator, have gone out on me. Thanks for the advice!
+Zach Guerin The part and process shown in this video would be correct for an 05 Explorer also. Thanks! 1AAuto.com
My 06 is blowing cold on the passenger side and hot on the driver side and back seat. Would that be the blend door acuator?
I'm going to try this but will it help with the air flow for the floor to?
Hey quick question what is that white ribbed hose do and where does it connect to
The blend door actuator on my 2008 ford explorer failed and I was only getting AC . I changed it to a new one and now I only get heat and no AC .What is wrong now ?
What is that coragated tube for
tools like that with joints on the sockets will help you get in to tight places
1A Auto Parts exactly that's what them tools do best
Is this the location for the front or rear actuator?
Mine is stuck on defrost, would this part fix that issue?
+Steven L We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

Hello I have a 06 ford explorer 4.0 rwd . The problem I'm having is it's 30° out and I put the heat on and it blows hot air on the driver side vent but cold air on the passenger side vent is this the actuator that will fix this or is it the blend door actuator?
+Chris Zayas This could be the blend door actuator but we would not be able to diagnose the issue online. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
You didn't have a actuator video for the 300, hopefully you'll do one, thx
+Victor Lopez Thank you for checking us out. We will keep this in mind, and forward it to our studio in hopes of a video being uploaded in the near future. 1aauto.ocm
1A Auto Parts Thank you very much, I really enjoy watching your videos, and you have the right guy doing the vids, he's very informative on all things cars
My car blows the tempature that it is outside bt I have no clicking sound my heat works for the back of my vehicle all of my vent setting work but my heat and ac doesn’t work n the front what is the cause of that
Replaced the part. Is there a wrong way to install? Only getting heat now,(no popping noise). Temperature does not adjust. Thankful it's winter and it's stuck on heat till I can figure this out.
+Rusted Life Designs Thanks for watching! They really only go in one way, just make sure you do not plug in the unit until it is fully installed.
@@1AAuto I'll pull it back out and reinstall. Thanks for the reply. It really is an easy install so no problem pulling it again.
turns out my part was DOA. However, prompt no haggle refund. Will continue to buy parts from 1A Auto.
How do you calibrate it to vehicle
I replaced this part on my 2010 and the new one started doing the same thing immediately. Actually worse than the factory one. The new one just keeps going and doesn't stop. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!
+JAMES Dallas We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
It might need to be calibrated. Try disconnecting the battery for 2+ minutes and reconnecting. Should go into calibration mode. If that doesn't work, make sure there isn't a more specific procedure for calibration. If it still doesn't stop freespinning the blend doors themselves could be bad/ broken and not be stopping the actuator as it spins. That's unlikely, though. You got this.

+moh afnan We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1AAuto.com
Would this process be the same for changing the blend door actuator for the passengers side?
Anyone by chance know the name of that corrugated white tube ? I accidently unplugged it from it's source and cannot figure out where it goes back into
I have a 2002 explorer that has this setup.
2008 Ford Explorer, Sport Trac. How to find that part, and they cabin air filter?? Where located in??
I have a 2008 Sport Trac as well and also wondered where rather cabin air filter was.
Turns out the truck HAS NO cabin air filter!
Go figure!
That was a tight spot . U gotta have patience. Not so easy but do able
When i turn on my Ac. It only blows cold on driver side and hot on the passenger side. Is this what i need to replace on my issue?
+Sohee Pen Thank you for watching! It sounds like you would need to check out your temperature blend actuator as well.
Repla ed my actuator and now have heat but no a\c. Anyone know why it would do that?
+Mitchell Burgess Some vehicles will require a reset of the system after these types of components are replaced. Try unhooking the battery for about an hour. This may cause the system to recalibrate it's self and may fix your issue. Thanks! 1AAuto.com
Just changed my actuator and I don't have heat in the front but I do and the rear
I'm in the same boat, so I'm going to the passenger side and check the "Blower motor".
Same here did y ever find the problem anyone ?
How to get the alignment to line up
I changed my rear actuators on my 2010 Ford Explorer but now I can only get cool or heat when I turn it on 4. What do you think may be the problem? Thank you very much
@Danny Croston Thank you, the problem was that I received a faulty blend door actuator from Amazon.
The caption say mode actuator...it vacuum operated...the temp door actuator is electric....two different parts and that is what the video is for
Thanks for the feedback! +STEVE GASPARD
What purpose does the white corrugated tube serve? In the process of going to check out the actuator I realized I don’t have the tube.
Do you know of a part number to search?
This appears to be the temp or blend door actuator. Not the vent mode actuator.
I was thinking the same thing, but the blend door actuator is located just to the rear of the vent mode actuator, closer to the center console. I replaced the temp blend actuator in my 2010 Explorer last year, so I know where that is located.
Why take the plastic from under wheel off? I did then put it right back on cause it only for light,have flashlight dont remove,waste of time.
The factory one is cheaper on Amazon.
Please change the title. This is to replace the TEMPERATURE BLED ACTUATOR (controls temperature), not the VENT MODE ACTUATOR (COntrols which vents the air comes out)
+Curtis Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
Lol my problem is the darn thing is blowing out the defrost inside of the ac vents any body got a idea what cases that?
+Charles Love Thanks for checking us out! Have you checked to see if the door that direct the air are still in good shape? If you have, perhaps a local mechanic can give you a diagnostic to see whats causing this issue.
1A Auto Parts yes the cheapest way is to drill a hole on the side of the vent door and use zip ties works awesome and dost cost you a full weeks pay
