Got the dreaded click, click, click from the dash a few weeks ago on my
2011 F-150. Your video was extremely well done and allowed me to replace
the blend door actuator within an hour, The only problem is I ordered from
your link and it was the wrong part(#YH-1881). I had to go to the local
Ford dealer and get part# YH-1933. This is the actuator you show at the end
of the video. I also had to remove the two screws under the gauge cluster
dash overhang so I could remove the left side trim piece. Just wanted to
add this for others who will likely have this part fail on them, my buddy’s
2011 FX4 has had this clicking for awhile now. Anyway, thanks again for a
great video that saved me a ton of money by allowing me to do my own
repair.
Ford Tech Makuloco if your out there check this out. Ford fx4 2010. I just
replace my upper actuator because I had fully functioning driver side and
passenger side not working only blowing ambient air. After I buttoned
everything up and checked the system.. Now the passenger side is blowing
out heat only.. So the replacement changes something but it is still not
functioning correctly. I just posted something on f150 online forum but
have no responses… What would your recommend i do from here?
I wish they’d be more technicians like you! Your attention to
detail,thoughtfulness and cleanliness is fantastic! Ford is lucky to have a
technician like you and we are lucky to watch your videos!
God bless!
I was disgusted with the fact that my truck was making a loud knocking
noise behind the dash. My truck is a 2011 f150 ecoboost with only 50,000
miles on it. The dealer wanted 1200 dollars to fix it. I watched this video
and followed the instructions and I fixed the problem myself for 40.00. I
am impressed with this video and how much it helped me. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! I never would’ve thought I could fixed this myself
before watching your video. It took me about 2 hours to completely finish
it (and a lot of cursing at that back bolt), but I was able to replace it
myself. Thanks for the videos, they are super helpful!
Great informational videos, Great help for us, Great thanks to you!!!
Is it common for both actuators to go out at same time? That’s what
happened to us, will turning Temp. levels to Max. either way have anything
to do with it? Took truck (2010 F-150 Lariat) to reputable shop and was
quoted $1,100.00, 3 days. After watching your videos, I think I can do it,
just would like to be sure doing it fixes problem, or is there any other
check needed before I dive in. Does it matter where the blend doors are at
when actuators are replaced? Wow!, this happened on Thanksgiving night,
around the time you posted video. Any answers and advice will be greatly
appreciated
Got a question on my 2012 F150 . When I go from defrost to cabin heat it
still blows out the defrost and a little on your feet but nothing from the
vents. Would this actuator be the one I need to change. Also the rear
window defrost button works intermittenly
so I’m having the same issue with my 2011 5.0 F150, but i don’t hear any
clicking noise from the dash. i pulled the 46 fuse and put it back in, then
started the truck now i have heat….until i move the control from heat to
cold and then its stuck on cold. Same issue? how much should i expect to
pay for parts and labor from a ford Dealership?
Thank you so much for this video. I have a 09 FX4 and I’ve been hearing
that clicking noise for the longest time. I still have heat, but I’m still
going to change it before it goes out. Thank you again!!
If I get the dash & radio area opened up tonight, with the wires
disconnected as you show here, can I drive it to work the next morning and
pick up the new blend door actuator after work? Like a two evening project?
Wow! Awesome video. You’re a natural presenter. I think i now have the
stones to tackle this job myself. Question if I may…on my 2010 dual
climate F150 if the drivers side always blows lukewarm and the passenger
side works perfectly, is that the upper actuator/blend door or the lower?
I don’t have any clicking noises.
great video! question… I have a 2010 raptor with what seems to be a
slightly different problem. I have cold air only on the passenger side and
hot air only on the driver side. no clicking. does that mean both are bad?
I can still change to defrost or vent or whatever just no temp changes are
possible.
so do these set a dtc when they quit working? or is it just common sense to
go after these after you check coolant level, and or trapped air in the
cooling system thermostat etc..
Thanks for the video. They have been a great help. Unfortunately I
changed my lower motor and I still have only cool air blowing from the
drivers side. I pulled the fuse to reset the motor and still aren’t having
any luck. My motor never made a clicking noise. It just didn’t blow any
heat from the drivers side. What do you think my issue is? 2010 F150 with
dual climate control. Thanks!
is this the same way to get the heat working back on the passenger side on
a 2006 expedition E.B? on my expedition the heat is working only on the
drivers side and i have the dual heater control
Before removing/replacing the fuse for calibration, would it be necessary
to first change the temp to a certain setting (such as minimum cold or
maximum hot), and would the climate control system need to be off? If I
had to do this repair, I picture myself running the temp down to minimum
cold and then turning the system off before starting the repair. Would it
even matter?
Thanks for the video. Had mine go out right after i bought it from the
dealer and since it was out of warranty I was stressing. $16 dollar part
and 2 hours later and now I have heat. Thanks for all the help
HI Brian. My dad’s 09 F-150 with dual zone climate control is blowing very
hot air when the ac is running on the driver side only while the passenger
side is working fine. Could this be the issue? If so, which of the two
blend door actuators would need replacing, the upper or lower one? Thanks
very much!

cant believe all that rust on the brakets. cant even paint them good wtf
It would be cool if you were to go to Ford Motor Company plant and give us
a tour on how Ford vehicles are made.

Perfect now my 2009 f-150 has hot air again. Thanks for the great video.

How much should labor cost me at a dealership? I don’t have time to replace
it myself, I have the Column shifter too

Where did you get the 1/4″ black handle ratchet ?

what would it cost, to get this job done at a dealer, it looks easy but
that a lot of work
good videos thanks
