I'm happy you didn't have to take out the dash too because I've got the exact same problem. Thanks to this video I might be able to fix it myself.

Theres two blend door actuators on this generation Explorer. For temperature differences (one side hot, one side cold) that actuator is behind the glove compartment as shown If its distribution of the air (side vents blowing but not the main vent) that blend door is behind the instrument cluster.

Did replacing the actuator actually fix your issue? The majority of the time it just requires reprogramming the HVAC Control Module and not replacing the actuator to fix this issue. Gotta love the dual climate system, right?

You could have gotten a little motor from hobby lobby, then cut the outer black plastic and swap the one inside the blower out. They use those tiny little motors that are just about every kids toy car.

Please tell me how you were able to re insert that top screw into the actuator. It's an absolute pain in the ass because of that plastic wired box being in the way. I've tried everything and I've lost about 4 screws in the glove box area trying to do it.
@eknight1012 жыл бұрын
Never mind. I just deliberately roke the plastic housing and moved it out of the way. It did t seem to serve any meaningful purpose other than to organize a group of wire harnesses.

I'm glad I found your vidio made the disassembly so much easier. I watched hyours and four others and yours was the best! I do wish you would show how to release the wiring clips and the last step before removing the actuator show how to get around the cover to reah the second screw. I tried for hours to get a socket on it and finally gave up. You don't show or mention how to get that out of the way. Question, there is a short stif wire that I cut by mistake. How do I repair it? Thanks again !!
