YH1933 Blend door motor

Can't say enough thanks to you. Both of my exact actuators also went out at the same time. Used your video as a guide and worked flawlessly. You saved me a TON of money. God bless you!

Thanks for the video, you just saved me a ton of time locating the actuator on the driver side. To make the job much easier i removed the three bolts holding the gas pedal to the firewall and moved the pedal aside. It made removing the actuator bolts way easier.

Thanks. My 2011 just started clicking today and I needed the info you provided. I too will save the unbelievable overpriced job and do it myself. My 57 year old body will be sore afterwards but I will live to spend my $1500 on something else. Thanks

Great Video. I repair cars and trucks for a living. I also own a 2014 F 150 Lariat. For what it's worth, I also learned years ago...it's best not to ever make any changes in mode, or temp, etc...while the blower is on high, or even med speed. it resembles a hurricane going through your house....and all the doors are slamming open and shut. (things will tend to break) again...great video. Looking forward to more.

Thank you. With this video I was able to identify the problem, go to three stores to find the part, and fix it myself in two hours for twenty seven bucks. The unit was clicking for years if it was set to either extreme so I would have to back it off. Now I am kind of glad it finally gave out because it can go full cold or full hot with the replacement part. Mine is a 2009 so it may be a little different but the back bolt on the blend motor was almost impossible to get a wrench on. No clearance for a socket and too tight for a socket wrench. I had to use a regular wrench and almost needed to hire someone with smaller hands and more patience.

Thank you! watched all the other videos and tore out my radio and airbag just to realize it was the one under the driver side. Highly recommend a 5/16 ratchet wrench.

[emandujano]

Thanks for doing the one under the steering wheel it saved my ass and a couple of bucks. Keep them coming bro

[joshuafurman]

This saved me $2500. Thank you, friend.

[dougrayga]

Watched your video and did it all in about an hour. The back screw for the blend motor was NO fun, but all in all the video helped a ton! Thanks!

[kasseopia]

have a 2014 and could not get the top bolt so i broke off the actuator (above brake) and removed it that way. use a 1/4 inch drive with a 5/16th socket to remove the screw, it worked to get it back in also. Great help thanks for the info. and yes you have to move the vent door to get the splines to line up.

Great video! I found your video after I “discovered” the driver’s side motor while installing an aftermarket radio. While I was installing and running the microphone cable under the dash I saw the blend door actuator and thought no way! Other videos required cutting the air duct and carpet to replace the passenger side motor which I thought was the issue but after replacing the driver’s side the annoying clicking is gone after a year and a half! Wish I found your video earlier but I’m sure someone else will find it helpful!

Thank for the video! I don't know how much you saved me in $$, but most of all you gave the confidence I could do the job. Mechanics is not new to me, but I detest (read "fear") pulling trim. Overall, cost me $25.00 and about 3 hours - including traveling round trip to get the part.
BTW - I have a 2013 F150 XLT Super Crew 4x4. The part for mine from AutoZone was DURALAST BDAC1014 604-252. Fit right in!

Blend door actuator switches between heat and air only and is located mid dash behind the entertainment system. MODE door operates the vents only and is located above the acceleratetor.

[houndsmanone]

Thanks, this is a great walk-through video. I have a 2011 F150 XLT (Manual climate control air system) and I hear the click-click-click as I turn on the AC. Thanks.

[mobrien]

Thanks for putting this together, but the video was so dark I couldn't make out most of the parts in place to figure out if I want to have a go at this myself. Appreciate the effort!

[antoncarroll]

Thanks for sharing. This video shows alot more than other versions.

[alvincuevas]

Thank you for this video, you just saved me a ton of money and aggravation. Job took me about an hour and was very manageable.

[RanmanB]

You have no idea how helpful this is! Thanks you!! My truck battery, and the exact same two a/c control motors went out today at the same time and it's been 102 almost the entire week. You've saved me tons of time with this vid. Thanks!

[christopherlang]

This video is exactly what I need. Great video. Thanks.

[garyh]

Thank you for this video! My dealer told me it would be $1700 to replace both blend door motors. Thanks for the trouble you went through to make this video and share it with us!!
