    Thank you for creating this video, I’m a single mom and my explorer had no heat. I bought this part at auto zone for $34 and installed it myself. You saved me some stress and money 🎉 thanks again!

      @@thehistoricalrewind9677 I almost did 🤣 I think that’s the part that takes the longest is trying to get it out. I had to maneuver so many different ways. I think essentially what I did if I remember correctly, I tilted it farther in so I could situate it better to get it out. I know it’s been a couple weeks since you posted this, we’re you able to get it?

    • @AbnormalGarage
      @AbnormalGarage  2 года назад

      No, the teeth on the gears inside the actuator that open and close the blend door are broken. That’s why it constantly makes a clicking sound.

    if your ford explorer is a little different, your lever might be on the bottom panel and you either have a little plastic arm like i have, or you have a spot where you can put a torx driver in and adjust it. i have a ford explorer 2006 here's a video here showing where it is ruclips.net/video/sly6G30XRTw/видео.html&ab_channel=ricksterq

    can this also make your car run hot?

    • @tcarney57
      @tcarney57 2 года назад

      If you mean make your engine run hot? No. There's no relationship between the actuator and engine heat, except to the extent that having heat on in the cabin draws heat from the engine. If anything, then, it would theoretically make the engine cooler. Air conditioning, though, gets its compressor power from the engine which could make it run hotter, and the air-conditioning system dumps the cabin heat it removes in front of the engine's radiator making it--theoretically--run hotter.
