every shop I go to seems to go deaf at the mention of the blend door/actuator. one shop simply recharged the refrigerant, giving me a temporary fix. the local Ford dealership later diagnosed the hole in the AC system and fixed that for me, but the HVAC still blows hot when set to AC. gotta set it to max-AC to get cool. I'm like $1200 (counting other stuff the dealership wanted me to get fixed as well) into trying to get the AC working as intended from factory. I don't understand why nobody wants to listen to me or get in behind the glovebox, it seems so simple! thank you for this video.

@@4DIYers thank you much for your prompt reply. I am still dealing with it and trying to notice something that could lead me to the right direction. May be your experience can help me confirm or infirm my thesis. Here is what I got now. I noticed: 1- all door blend actuators are operating at some point. The two in the top are at all time when the recirculation and the air distribution buttons are operated for the heater / HVAC 2- the two actuators at the bottom that open the doors to let the wind circulate towards the vent do their job only for the air. Indeed, once i manually lower the temperature from 69F & lower, they operate to open the doors thus letting the air flow to the vent. However, when I increase the temperature passed 70F they close the door no matter what air distribution mode is selected and the air only flows towards the feet and within the vent. My theory is. Since the doors are not broken, Since the actuators are not damaged. This inconsistency of the doors allowing airflow to the vent only when the air is selected must be due to faulty control module. If yes, this theory should be confirmed by verifying that the actuators receive power when the vent circulation is selected during the heating mode (70+ F). The only reason this theory would be weak is if dual temperature blend door actuators have two mode of operation of the same door depending on if heating or cooling is selected (I dont think so but we never know). What do you think? Sorry for writing a book.
@4DIYers6 жыл бұрын
No problem, happy to help! From what I've found, they appear to be electronically controlled actuators, same as the Ranger. If they're both operating at the same time, it would seem as if there is a controller issue. Does it do the same thing when you operate the passenger and driver temperatures separately? If all the actuators are the same, you can swap between them just to be sure it isn't a faulty actuator. It's possible they could have failed at the same time. However, another issue can also be the memory of the motor's position. They use stepper motors and some vehicles do have a reset procedure. With my 07 Volvo C30, many parts on the car are made by Ford and it shares the same platform as the Focus. With my car, they are known to act up, the air will blow from random locations. There is a reset procedure, unfortunately someone with the car's specific software is able to do this. You can probably pick up the programming cheap enough on Ebay, I'm not sure which is required for your vehicle. Just be careful of the seller. I tried to order a VIDA cable for my car and it never arrived. Thankfully I got a refund, even with the seller closing their account.

As mentioned in this video, there are no fasteners holding down the actuator. It snaps into place.

I have a 2010 ford ranger I changed the actuator but it’s still stuck on defrost no matter what setting I put it in any ideas on what else it could be ?
