#2 of 14 Re: Not blowing heat for awhile and clicking noise [ArmyWife0306] by fordexpo Jan 24, 2009 (4:09 pm)
Replying to: ArmyWife0306 (Nov 29, 2008 5:56 pm) I have worked on Fords for many years and I know that many of the ones with electronic climate control have an electric blend door that opens and closes between the heat and cold air to get the temp right. I have seen them jam and click over and over and then sometimes start working. Then again our towncar never starting working again and only clicked and it was cold. I purchased the blend actuator motor at Lincolm Mercury (FORD) for $38.00 of so and removed the dash to install in a few hours at our home. Lincoln Mercury wanted $700.00 something to fix. Worked fine after the repair and a few beers.
#3 of 14 Blend Door Actuator by alwaysfords2 Jan 26, 2009 (8:51 am)
There are two blend doors for the rear air / heat, both of which are on the passenger side under the rear quarter window. it is typically the actuator that breaks on these as opposed to the blend door axle that breaks in the front requiring the removal of the dash. One is very simple to get, the other is a little tougher. To see if you have the simple one remove the "change tray" under the p/s quarter window. there is a small being box right on top of the wheel well. Unclip the electrical connector. If the noise stops, that is the broken one and it is a 3 bolts to remove and replace. Replies to this message: jlopez3 (Feb 25, 2009 7:53 am)

Replying to: alwaysfords2 (Jan 26, 2009 8:51 am) hello, where is the second actuator "tougher one" located? do you know the price for each?

It is within that same trim panel, but it is further forward and slightly around the front of the wheel well. Some people have posted that they have been able to make the replacement without taking off the trim panel. If you have to take the panel off it is a big job - you have to start at the back hatch and take off the threshold and move forward from there. You will also need to remove the seat belt attachment at the second row I think. The part itself is cheap - I got mine for $25 including shipping. They are different part numbers, so you need to make sure you get the correct one.

Replying to: alwaysfords2 (Feb 25, 2009 8:51 am) Can you tell me where to get the part? Ford wants 500.00 for one. Replies to this message: alwaysfords2 (Nov 28, 2009 4:01 am) nerdy1 (Nov 28, 2009 6:00 am) alwaysfords2 (Nov 28, 2009 2:19 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: nerdy1 (Nov 27, 2009 12:53 pm) You must be talking past the guy about different things. The blend door actuators range in price from $25 to $50 depending on where you get them. They must be quoting you some other part. I got mine on line form a Ford delaer for $25.

Replying to: alwaysfords2 (Nov 28, 2009 4:01 am) i bought a thing that went on top of the housing that looks a little like a tape cassette and i still have the clicking noise deeper down inside the housing. Do you know what this part maybe that is clicking now? Thanks Replies to this message: alwaysfords2 (Nov 28, 2009 2:19 pm) nerdy1 (Nov 28, 2009 3:45 pm)

Replying to: nerdy1 (Nov 28, 2009 6:00 am) There are two of those - one controls floor to ceiling mix, and one controls hot cold mix. The floor to ceiling one is the one on top, the hot cold one is the one that is down lower. Same size part, often times it is a differnet part number for the second one becuase the axles are slightly different. It is lower and forward of the first. I have read that some people have done it with the trim in place through the change tray and cup holders, others have opted to take all the trim off from the hatch opening forward.
