- If your Ford Fiesta makes a clicking sound when you turn the car on, it’s most likely one of two actuators that are broken but don’t worry; this video will show you exactly how to fix it easily for only a few bucks. Most videos show one actuator but not both. This video shows the location of both with step by step instructions on how to fix them yourself.
Tools required: T-20 bit and small ratchet
Part numbers:
604-400 (drivers side)
604-251 (passenger side)

Thank God for people like you that take the time to share valuable tips like this with the rest of us.
Of all the videos I have seen on this topic, yours was the most helpful. For one thing you do mention the two actuators. I went to my mechanic to get it diagnosed and see how much he will charge. After watching your video, I wanted to make sure which of these two he would point to. If the cost was reasonable, i would pay him to do it. Well after he said $650, I was certain it was the driver side, but I was not paying $200 les than what the dealer would charge for the same repair, So I had him order the part for me. Again, thank to your video I was able to see that the part he sold me was for the passenger side (only two electric connectors). So I thought, $650 to replace the passenger was way too much, so I am glad I decided to do it myself. One final check, I removed the glove compartment and, while holding the actuator, I turned on my Ford Fiesta. I felt the ticking and I was one hundred percent sure that I had the right part to do the job. I did not have the right tools to work in such a tight place, but I managed to remove the old part, verified what position the blender valve was in. I matched the valve to the default position the new actuator came with and proceeded to install it. with the inadequate tools I had, it took me almost one hour. With this video I was able to identify and prepare for most stages of this repair and build enough confidence to successfully complete it. My wife, who drives this car, was very happy and we now expect the air conditioner to work at 100% too. God bless you for creating such a complete instructional video.
Your story brings a smile to my face. Thank you very much for sharing that. I’m so glad you were able to save money, and repair the vehicle yourself with what you learned online. Way to go Mr. Diez!
Thanks for this-it’s very helpful. Watchers, I learned the hard way (doing the passenger side) that a small ratchet screwdriver (with a torx 20 head) is a must for this. As the man said, these screws put on tight. I got the front facing screw off with one of those Swiss Army knife-like Torx sets, but getting at the sideways screw in the back is impossible without the ratchet or other tool for a small space.
Thanks for that. I knew there was more than one actuator, buy yours is the only video that explains the difference and shows both locations. I have been getting the clicking and just recently lost temp control. On a 50/50 chance, I ended up buying the correct actuator for my issue.Sometimes it's better to be lucky than smart. I was going to try and replace wrong actuator with the wrong part before I found your video.
That’s terrific, I’m glad you got the problem solved. Great job fixing it yourself
Thanks for the explanation on the 2 different actuators. I know my sound came from the driver side and wasn't sure which one to get. Other videos I watch did not mention it.
I’m so glad that this video was useful to you. Thanks for sharing that with me.
THANK YOU SIR! You answered my one question NO ONE could not even ford techs...that the blend door motor on the drivers side that u replaced also controls the mode.(defrost or vents) wich is why my car is failing to do.
Thank you for seeking out the answer on my video! Glad it was helpful
Thank you for the extra time you took to explain this procedure !
You are welcome and I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the video.
100 percent helpful!! this is because you told us which actuator controls the hot and cold airflow! I could not find one video on you tube that told me what you did. thank you so much!!!
I was under the impression that there are a total of 3 actuators. The third being deep in the center of the dash. In fact, that's what Ford was telling me. It's a $65 part, but the one deep in the dash is (and I quote Ford), $765 in labor. They say the entire dash has to be removed. Mind you, I have a Fiesta ST, not a base model Fiesta. Don't know if that's any different. This is the second time the same actuator has failed and I only have 37k miles on the car.
Buy on Amazon, get the 3-year protection plan on the part, wait for it to fail again in six months, never have to buy the part again.
Ow thank you for such a clear explanation. My friend has this car and she thinks the clicking is coming from a serious problem, like a belt or something like that. It’s nice to know it’s nothing serious.
You’re correct, this is nothing serious but very common on this car. Have a great day
the unit on the left controls face vent, floor, screen direction of air flow, the right one does freesh air in, or recyle the air in the car.
Thank you!
Thanks, great video, it helped me , 👍
Awesome, glad to hear that. Thank you
why on earth they didn't do these metal based?????
thanks, m8
You’re welcome 😁
I just got the one under my steering column replaced as it was clicking but now I'm only getting cold air...does that mean I need to replace the one under the glove compartment too as it controls the hot and cold...thanks,great video
Which side is the TEMPERATURE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, driver or passenger? Thanks.
My ford is making the clicking from the passenger side under the glove box. Do I have to buy both for the problem to go away or just the passenger side???
You just need the part for whichever side is clicking
Do you think the one on the drivers side is a lot louder than the one on the passenger in terms of breaking? I feel like this is what’s going on with my car but the clicking sounds so much more intense and also seems like it’s from that area
Does anyone know if i just leave it clicking when I start the car will it get worse or just be a short annoying clicking. I don’t use the air conditioner or heater much. Please help? I’m on my own and have zero mechanical skills
Once it’s clicking, it’s about as broken as it can get. If you don’t care to replace the part you can unplug the wiring harness that’s connected to the parts and they will stop clicking but you will not regain any functionality until they are replaced.
@@OfficialNovaDogg thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it. I didn’t know what to do but now I feel better about the situation. I’ll just disconnect the wiring harness like you suggested and wait until i can get it fixed. Thank you again!!
where did you get those leds on your fog lights
I wish I knew where they were from. They came with the car
How much are the parts
That depends on where you buy them but generally around $20. Check Amazon or your local parts store for the exact price using the part numbers below:
Driver side: 604-400
Passenger side: 604-251
Why the fuck in Poland I can't get it in the shop. I need to order it for about 50$ from US and wait for 1,5 month...
Ford fix, buy a Toyota...
Yup, I have two Toyotas. They have needed work also. Hope this video helps you.
