How to replace Ford F-150 Blend Door Actuator(s)

Publicado 2024-01-14
Are you hearing a "clicking" sound from under the dash board?
Most likely its one of the blend door actuators.
Replacing the blend door actuator on my Ford F150 - Here are the locations of all FOUR blend door actuators on the 2014 Ford F150 (eco boost FX2). The top one isn't as hard to get to as people make it out to be. Just make sure you know which one is bad before you start removing stuff.
Don't make the same mistake I did...

    YO Nobody, that was super helpful. Thanks for all your trouble.
  • OMG the funniest line ever everybody that had that problem knows exactly the most annoying sound in the world lol you are so funny. Appreciate it.😂

    thank you so much for this video. My C blend motor by gas pedal was my bad one. King Ranch has fancy pedal that you need a 13mm socket to get the 3 bolts loose and get it out of the way. My local auto parts had a Dorman part in stock, and all Ford parts will be too late and ship when I was out of town. Again, thanks!

    I also replaced the top one, Can you post a vid of how to do the one on the driver's side by the gas pedal? and the part number for that.
  • @radfish65
    What exactly is the part number you replaced (the one right above the gas pedal)? The part in the bag is 19E616-C but you when you point to the diagram, you say 19E616-B is the one "you are replacing right now" and point to 19E616-C as the one you thought you had to replace. Just want to confirm before ordering. Thanks. By far best video I've found.

    So if you have heat on passenger side, but no heat on the driver side. Which Blend door actuator would cause that problem. AC works fine.

    Actuators Part# and purpose Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1933 - Blend Door Actuator (Single climate control has 1x actuator)(Dual climate control has 2x actuators) -Mixes cold and hot air to set temps. People have noted that it will click when changing temp drastically as its changing how much hot or cold air is flowing. -Single climate control: Behind radio slightly on passenger side. -Dual climate control passenger side issues: Behind radio slightly on passenger side, also same place as single climate control systems. -Dual climate control drivers side issues: Behind and slightly below glove box. ***Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1881 - Mode Door Actuator (**One in the video**) -Controls direction air is flowing (floor, dash vents, windshield). Will click when first getting in truck, as well as when the air direction is changed. -Next to gas pedal on drivers side. Easiest to replace and easiest to test. For testing, just reach up and undo cable clipped to it. If clicking stops, you have the correct one. If its unplugged and still clicks its one of the other ones. Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1770 - Air inlet Actuator -Changes the vent to allow air in from the outside or circulate the air in the cabin. -People have noted that when changing the air from inside to outside or outside to inside it clicks. This can be tested by only changing the one aspect of the hvac, AC must be off otherwise it will try and close the vent automatically to cycle cabin air. Otherwise, the other actuators may click as well giving you a false noise when you think you are testing this one. This is also the hardest to replace. I had this all written down on a note, prior to seeing this video. Mine YH1881 started clicking like 3yrs ago, so I looked into for a while to get a better understanding of the entire system. I like to work on my own vehicles so notes like this help.

    Notes for next time amigo. The driver side, you have to align the door the actuator attaches to with a 1/4 inch socket to match the position of the new actuator. New actuator should come with the tool for the socket. And when mine failed it was the teeth on the wheel under the circuit. Just got brittle and popped one off.

    I mean… it’s not like you drove around for months cursing your truck every time you started it and putting off the repair because it was a tough spot to get to 😂😂😂 After you get off that nutcracker I’ve got a nice warm pumpkin stout waiting for you. Extra lactose 🥛
