2011+ Ford F-150 Driver's Side Temperature Blend Door Actuator Replacement

The video was getting long, so I didn't do a conclusion, but everything when back together without a problem and I have been driving the truck for two days and it's working great. The duct work is secure and is not rattling and is functioning just as it should. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for all your effort to make this video. I'm so grateful for guys like you that take the trouble to show us step by step in these videos how to get it done. YAH Bless you.

The part about using the old gear to relocate the flap was great! Used it worked like a charm, thanks for this!

Hey my Actuator started clicking few weeks ago n I been pushing it off watching a ton of videos here an there then my tv went on me so I got both of them from amazon I watched your video as well as other people’s but by far yours was the most helpful an detailed thanks a lot

Will be working on mine this week, I appreciate that you made this video without the viewer having to hear cursing throughout it, that’s rare anymore.

Very helpful video. Especially the part about taking apart the old part and lineing up the gear. Thank you.

THANK YOU!! most thorough video on this ever! I’m about to tackle this myself.

Thanks. I watched one video but skipped a lot of stuff. Yours was so informative, thank you. I have the flow through console and some extra steps like others have said. I just looked up another video on taking that out. It happened to be the same video that left out everything you showed in detail. Thanks again going to give it a shot right now

Thank you for making such a detailed video. Answered a lot of questions for me before I take on this task.

Thanks for the video I just did this today on my 2011 Lincoln navigator it has the center console and duct work but the job was pretty much the same I used an aftermarket one just cut a quarter inch off the gear and was able to get it in

Thanks for the video buddy! Nothing is wrong with a slight modification at times that serves the same purpose! Appreciate the work video to help others. A+

Just did this yesterday...one trick I'll add to align the new actuator spline is that if you can manage to attach the wire to the new blend door first -- turn the truck on, the ac system will set the new blend door to the last setting (i.e. where the old one was last aligned). Granted, my old actuator was clicking, but upon inspection, it didnt have as many broken gears as yours. So I set the old one to a temp setting where I knew it still worked properly before I started this job.

Thank you for doing this video it really helped get this awful process done a little easier a second set of hands getting the actuator back in was key for me

Excellent Video, I'm having that very same problem. I replaced the upper one and it still kept clicking, so it must be the lower blend door actuator. I'll pick up another one and follow what you did. Thank You for taking the time to do the video!!

Thanks for sharing this video, a very practical method for this crappy job.  Perfect timing too as I have my '12 half torn apart, trying to avoid removing the dash.  Cheers!

Pretty cool video. Very well explained. Very challenging job, glad you got it done.

Thank you for your effort. Between you and Makuloco I mustered up the courage and tore my truck apart this afternoon. I've actually pulled the complete dash in 3 different Towncars over the years so dash removal wasn't out of the question but the last Townie I did was a 2007 and 5 years of added complexity made pulling the dash seem like too much for this old guy. Plus it wasn't 100% clear to me how much further disassembly was required once the dash is out. It actually appears that its basically a full condenser replacement which is way worse than the Towncar which is bad enough to begin with. Something you didn't highlight - or if you did I missed it - is the fact that there appears to be a huge variety of designs for the airboxes on these trucks. The Lariat that Makuloco did appeared closer to what I was facing. On my truck there was simply no option to remove that back screw. There's actually a whole 2nd layer of vents above the Y-shaped tube and that completely obstructs any access from the driver side. After watching your video I had convinced myself that that back screw would be removable - I really didn't like Makuloco's solution of breaking the tab but that's exactly what I ended up doing. Once again, thanks for all the work putting that video together. I've done a few myself and they are a lot of work.

Thx! I had the same aftermarket part and what I did to make it fit in the tight area was trim down the gear

Outstanding. You have all the details, knowing all that makes it all easier. Don't have to figure it out.

Thanks man very helpful video I just did the job on right and I am happy.
