Ever have a problem with erratic heater temp control on your 2008-2010 Ford Superduty? This is the most likely your problem and I am here to show you how to change it out. It may look daunting but if you follow my video step by step I can walk you though it. This is quite common concern on the 08-10 Superduties. Take a look, hope it helps! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I just got a quote from the local Ford dealer. They quoted 10hrs at $135 and hour. Thats when I went to you tube. I called another ford dealer and they estimated 2-3 hours of labor plus parts. I purchased the parts for $32 at the dealer. It took about 2 hours to remove,replace part, and reassemble dash. FYI my new part was not in the same gear placement for an easily slide into place. I had to turn on ignition and play with the temp control to get the gears to line up. The only other issues i had was getting the duct work apart and aligning the gears of the actuator. (this took about 45 minutes to figure out). This video is spot on how easy it is to do.
Thanks
Probably one of the best instructional videos I has ever watched. Switched out my blend door actuator in less than 2 hours, exactly as you explained. Thanks AAAAA+++++
This video and some of the helpful comments are amazing. Serious kudos to you all. My mechanic told me it was going to be $1000+ for labour and I should just drive with the windows open. took me 2.5 hours with not the best tools and it is working perfectly now. Thanks !
Brother you just saved us. We were down south on the road with no AC and I couldn't take it anymore. I watched your video and I was able to get the actuator and pull it out and manually turn the blend door. We have AC now. Thank you!
Very helpful video. Your instructions to access behind the dash were spot on. My 2015 Super duty had the Temp Blend Door behind the horizontal vent tube that is behind the air bag. After I discovered it wasn't where your video indicated I poked around and found it.... Just before I was ready to call a mechanic. Not the easiest repair but definitely better than paying a dealership service department jackal. Thanks again.
So the part is behind the passengers airbag?
Awesome video. Helped a lot in replacing upper actuator in my '08. I had to slightly rotate my blend door in order to get it lined up with the factory indexed actuator shaft on the new one. No big deal at all. Replaced upper and lower actuators in less than 2 hrs. System working great again.
Handy Andy Home and Farm Services, LLC. We’re the actuators the same part number? My driver side needs replacing, thanks
Hey buddy, thanks for the reply.I like ALL your videos and they're VERY INFORMATIVE. Keep up the good work bro. Have a good day.
Hey buddy, I like your videos to a certain extent. The hardest items to remove where everyone is sure to have troubles with and well, you already went through the headaches of removing them and they're just sitting there for you to simply pull the part that's already disconnected out like its no problem at all. I understand editing the video's for time purposes but please be sure to expound on how tough it was to get the item out so we don't feel like we're doing something wrong.
Very helpful video. The instructions were very clear and made the job achievable for a novice mechanic.
Thanks for this video. I was able to order the part on Amazon (still) and install it without anyone even knowing at a campground while on vacation. Took about an hour. Only broke one clip on the USB port for the Sync connector. A small screw now holds the plug in place. Have to be resourceful while camping. LOL 2009 F250 5.4.
Thank you! very very useful video for what I needed to do today- a successful changing of the actuator
Awesome video, took a couple hours to fix. One thing I discovered when my blend door shaft wasn’t aligned with the new actuator…I found the shaft continues down through the heater box and terminates in a small knob below the dash, behind the cup holder assembly. It’s about a 1” diameter smooth knob that rotates with the door shaft. If things are not lined up for reassembly, just manually rotate the knob while trying to install the actuator, till it drops into place. Worked perfect. Wondering if I could have used this knob to manually adjust temperature prior to fixing?
Great video only thing missing is if you have trouble getting the alignment correct with the new actuator, take the old one apart and use the gear to rotate the gate manually until it clocks right with the new actuator. Thanks for the video. Super helpful for my superduty. 08 fummins 450, 6 speed manual.
True but he covered every thing so well i have nothing but praise. I had that issue as well and by looking at my little mirror on a stick with a Flashlight point it down where you can see this blind receiver on door Box I was able to use a switch blade knife quit playing knife and stick it down in the spines and turn it to the proper position. I use the new one beside the old 1 to to position position the spines where I needed them. Do not try and turn the spines on the actuator.

Thanks you Brian👍🏻 you saved me time and money on this job that I had to do. Keep up the great videos 👊🏻
all i can say is that u saved my ass,dealership wanted 1100 dollars to replace it,it took me 45 min start to finish,buddy i owe u a ton of beers,part cost me 19 bucks in parts
For the last few years I have been lazy (and cheap) about this, setting the temp to either 60 or 90 and adjusting the fan speed for climate control like you would in a 1972 Pinto. Replaced the top actuator a while back, but it turned out not to be the noisy one. Can you recall from your experience if drilling through the duct that is in the the way of the screw for the lower actuator (or cutting it) would provide easy access to the screw? Of course the duct would then need to be repaired, but that is exactly what gorilla duct tape is for :)
Great video, had it done in less than 2 hours. Thanks!
2008 F-250 with this video and others I watched before attempting I had the passenger side blend actuator changed out in less than 3 hours
Fantastic video! Can you please show if you can how to do all the actuators in a 2009 F250 dual push button temp control and how many actuators are there in a 2009?
I think this is the problem on my company van, E250. It is intermittant, and not completely off all the time. It will blow cold through the defrost vents, then start blowing through the dash vents. So the blend door is opening and closing at rando, which is a pain in the ass on hot days after the van has been sitting in the sun. I will try this and let you know how it goes. I could take it to the shop, but then be without my van for a week.
I actually had to open up the new motor to aline the spline of the gear to the same position as the old motor. Figured that out after an hr of trying to get it in to the slot. It didn't just slide in for me. After carefully opening and adjusting, the friggin thing popped right in.
It turn out to be the hardest part of this project
islandoutdoorsman alternatively I opened my old actuator (since it was already dead), removed the main shaft and then used it as a tool to pivot the deflector inside the box.
Hey man,thanks for your videos,you do a great job with them. BTW,is a 2012 250 dash configuration the same as this ? And could that actuator cause my driver side vents to run about 10 degrees warmer than the passenger side sometimes? My truck does not have dual climate control and has manual temp adjustment
Thanks for making the video! Really helped me diagnose and repair my truck. Props!
What was your trucks symptoms? if you dont mind me asking
My 2008 F250 has dual climate controls . The left side ducts are blowing warm the right side is blowing cold. both sides set on 60. Are the actuators most likely the issue? are they both by the heater box as you stated? Are they both the same part number?
My local mechanic quoted me 978.00 for the job. I can do it myself and just take the day off work if it as easy as you displayed on the video. Your input is very much appreciated.
I have a 2004 ford f250 super duty 4x4 with 5.4 the heater is blowing out luke warm air .
i changed actuator blend door motor on the passenger side still have luke warm air is there another actuator motor . have you ever worked on this vechile before .
I have looked several places, and seem to not be able to find an actual how to video for a 2011 F350. blend door motor replacement. are the steps the same for 2011 King Ranch F350 6.7 FX4?
I have a 2015 Lariate f250 with dual climate control. I have been getting this tap tap tap....... tap tap tap..... sound from behind the dash/glovebox area. I almost always notice it after turning the truck off and sitting in it for a few seconds, that it will do that for a couple minutes then stop is this a blend door actuator issue? Sometimes with none of omg heat or ac on everything off it will randomly allow hot air to blow into the truck. The only way to stop it is turn the ac/heater on then off again.
Would that actuator going bad"i hear mine clicking and finally will switch over"also cause sweating on the passengers feet while a/c is on due to it having heat blowing with it?or is there another reason for that happening
Is it the same part number for dual climate control? Took it to the dealership and they wanted about 1440 usd to do both blend doors. How hard is the second on to get at?
Worked perfectly on my 6.4 dual climate control! Thanks!
Hi. I have a 2011 f750 which does not have dual climate control. I have heat only on the passenger side for everything including defrost and feet. What you think it could be doesn’t make sense as the temp works when going from hot to cold just on that one side.
Hi mate,
I have a 2014 F250 in Australia.
When ever I turn on the heater they both go to heat fine however my left side stays on hot when ever I try change it back to A/C ?
The right side works fine. What should I be pulling out to fix it the left side ? I’d appreciate your knowledge if you can help me. Cheers mate !
I have a 2011 f250 with the 6.7 diesel. It has dual zone climate and both zones work as far as it will go to full hot, floor, defrost, works but on either side it will not get cold. The ac compressor clutch will not engage. I also have b11e7 code which is air distribution damper. Would this be my problem? I hear a little clicking before i start the truck as well.
My temp isn’t changing I can hear the doors actuating, makes me think it’s the climate control module. Is there a certain reset I can try first? My battery was disconnected recently for a timing job.
great video - saved a lot of time and money
FTM, I have a 2012 250 6.7 and think I have erratic temperatures due to temp blend door. Sometimes I have 60 degree temps coming out of vents, cut the truck off,restart 5 min later and have 40-45 degrees at vents. How can I confirm bad temp blend door? It's an xlt, just 1 manual temp control knob. Thanks in advance for any advice
What do you do if the gears don't line up when putting new unit in.
Fixed my problem with ease. Thanks!
Thank you! Made changing that real easy
I'm having an issue with the back lights not working on the a.c. controls and radio, on a 2011 f350. Have any idea?
I’ve got an 08 f250 6.4 my air conditioning doesnt work at all , my brother checked the free on and it’s full . There’s a loud noice in my dash kinda to the bottom and right of my radio . Is this the blend door messing up ?
I have a 09 f250 and when I accelerate air flow cuts out from the front vents, as soon as I'm light on throttle or release it completely, air flow returns.
I follow your instructions step by step. Maybe u have the part # is a 08 f350. Tks in advance
I have a 2011 that just recently started acting weird. The heat will blow but the ax just doesn’t seem cold. I smelled what smelled like an electrical fire before it stopped. I think the blend motor may have burned out but I am trying to confirm.
Absolutely awesome video. I feel like I can do this myself now. I have an dual control 08 F250. With the AC set on 68, the left blows cold and the right hot. If I increase the passenger temperature, the right side will get hotter, but when I lower it back to 68, it still stays hot, but not as hot. The driver side works normally getting hot and cold. So, my question is: What door actuator should I replace? The one in your video or the one behind the glove box? Thanks for your help.
+C3 Voyage You would replace the one shown in this video for the passenger side concern.
I have a 2009 Ford F250 and I’m getting a lot of water drip like normal in my vent water outlet but I’m not getting any cold air out my vents and my blower motor is new and I also had the AC fluid checked and no leaks could it be the blend door that stops me from getting cold air ?
I have a 2011 F550 would this be the same?
Saved my life thanks
Hello,
Thanks for your great videos. Do you by chance have a video, pictures, and/or recommendations for replacing the passenger side temperature control blend door actuator on a 2011 Ford flex with dual climate control? My heat works on driver side but blows cold on passenger side defrost, dash and/or floor.
All you have to do for those is lower the glove box down and look to your left it will be right there.
FordTechMakuloco thank you... I found it... The bottom left screw is easy to remove... Any suggestions on removing the far right screw on the actuator and the wiring to actuator since the are located behind a plastic panel and wiring bundle.
Any chance you could do a video on a blend door actuator replacement on a dual climate control F-150? My Dad's just starting blowing hot on the driver side while the A/C is turned on and working normally on the passenger side. From what I've read the blend door actuator seems to be the culprit but haven't been able to find any information on swapping them (I believe there is two in the dual climate control versions). Thanks very much!
The left side actuator is on the underside of the case and requires case removal and dash removal big job.
Really good info on getting to those difficult parts ...I got an 05 king ranch F350 with very little heat would that be the same thing have realy good heat to the heater but next to no heat coming out thks ...enjoy your videos awesome job
Very helpful video. Thank you.
I got only heat on all vents. Won’t switch to cold at all. Dual digital controls. It has me thinking that is it that I have too bad blend or actuators, or is it whatever controls the actuator? What are the chances that both actuators for the passenger and driver side with fail?
I’d love to get someone’s opinion on this if possible
Great video!!! thank you so much!! keep the videos coming please sir.
Is this the same for dual climate?
Thanks great video it helped me out of a jam
I have a 2011 xl 4x4 6.7l standard cab and here lately the a\c blows cold then it blows room temperature and then back to cold but it doesn't go from cold to hot it just goes to room type temperature and then back to cold.The truck has 52,000 and I really never put my air on the coldest setting but today I did and this happens.Do you think that it could be this door actuator or maybe low freon? I take very good care of my truck and if you had to guess do you think it could be that door or low freon?Keep up the good work with your videos,they are very informative.You have a great day bud,bye.
William Santiago Yes the hunting actuator is very common and would be the first thing I would change without testing.
I got a 2003 Ford Explorer seem to be have the same problem is this common the engine heater hose is hot so would that be the same problem blend actuator
+Jaybone Huddog (smash) see here- th-cam.com/video/BERmZRDfqPw/w-d-xo.html
I have a question: I opened and got the blend door actuator out (thanks to your video) and inspected it and realized that all gears are intact. So I connected everything back and tried moving heat to cold knob and saw no moment of the gear. Could it be that blend door itself is bad? Or the knod? all other feature works and mine issue is that it is always blowing hot air!!
Did you ever figure this out? Having the same issue
where should I buy a steering shaft from?
Thanks for sharing this. I have a feeling this is what the clicking in my dash is and why my driver side hasn’t blown hot air in two winters 🤦🏼♀️. I’ll see how long I can struggle through before I break down to have it fixed.
I have a clicking as well. However it only clicks when it’s not on COLD or HOT. anything other than 60 or 90 degrees it clicks intermittently.
I followed your instructions to the T. However I do not see that actuator on my ,
2008 F250 Super Duty King Ranch. Any ideas as to why? Or where mine may be located?
Also my code is " B2267 " as far as I can tell it says Right side blend door failure.
I have a 2010 F250 with dual climate controls. The driver side I blowing out cold air when I have the heat all the way turned up but the passenger side is working properly. I watched the video and it is very helpful. Although I'm still kind of confused on where the actuator is for the driver side actuator. Is that the one that is at the bottom that you can get to without pulling out the dash and everything else? The dealership is trying to charge me almost $1400 to repair it. I know I'm getting ripped off. I would really appreciate the help! Thanks. Also if there is a video of it could you point me in that direction with the link. Thanks again!
+J.D. Little I have the exact same problem, the two vents on driver side blow cold even though the heat is on. The passenger side works fine. Did you fix it yet or find a solution?
Same problem here. Did you fix it?
Another great video.
great video! thanks!
Got a video of the driver's side yet ?
Thank you for the video. Big help 👍🤘
Thank you so much !
Well, I finally got around to doing this. Got it all pulled out. There is no blendor motor located where it is in this video. Mine is the digital AUTO version climate control. I guess it's different?? Can you tell me what would cause the passenger side to stay hot while the driver's side is cold on AC? Do you have experience with this type of climate control and how I could fix it? Thanks buddy.

+C3 Voyage full auto has one on top and bottom. The passenger actuator is the upper shown in this video.
+FordTechMakuloco I had it completely apart all the way to the point of replacing the motor. Right behind the open lower duct, where you show the motor, I have a ridged cap--a plastic, bolted piece with ridges. I put my phone behind it and took a video too. I ordered the blendor motor directly in your description. The video here makes it easy to see. Not sure what the heck is going on here. I still have the motor and it's still running hot despite doing the DATC self-test. Also, I never had clicking noises. Do you have further advice? I've looked extensively online.

+C3 Voyage This link takes you to the Powerstroke forum. In post #22, you can see what my truck has. I have it apart right now and am hoping desperately that you can help me out. As you can see from the photos, mine is different. Got any ideas?

@@C3Voyage same issue here. My actuator is not where this video has it. Did you figure it out?
@@mwp2295 Unfortunately, no. I looked everywhere for a fix. I had to live with it till I sold it in 2020. Have a fantastic 2018 now.
Ok here's a question for you., I have a ford 2008 super duty. I lost air conditioning but had heat., watched your video., very helpful., changed out top actuator ., now I have air conditioning but now no heat., can you help ? Thank you! I also subscribe your page
I am in same boat, lost ac, had heat, then lost heat also. You mention blend door fixed your fixed ac but lost heat. What was your end result and fix for the heat issue and or what you have do get it all back to proper function? Thanks for any info.
@@dalewright3375
I’ll let you know this summer, timing belt went on the engine. Pulled engine will be getting new engine. Replacing everything in engine compartment. I’ll let you know on air conditioning and heat.
Have you posted a video for the left hand actuator for dual climate control yet? My driver side ac isn't working and I'm trying to replace the actuator for it
Did you ever find a video for this?
@@lush0 I don't remember if I found a video or not, but I was able to figure it out. I don't remember enough about it to tell you anything. That was just a cheap find that I was repairing to flip.
Did you have to take the dash off?@@michaelrobinson5347
I have a 2010 f250 with dual climate controls. The blender is in a different place further to the right. I have it out but can't see how to get the part back in place. There is a white plastic cog on the end of the arm that I can't seem to fit on. Any ideas?
So yours is on the far right side of the glove box?
Slowpixie 13 ))
I have an 03 F350. It is blowing cold air but will only blow out the defrost and sometimes will be blowing from all vents. Does not respond to the knob position. Do I need to blend door to repair mine or is it something different? Also where is it located on my model? Thanks
blend door valve
I actually found the problem. It was actually the 4x4 vacuum solenoid on the passenger fender. Shocked the heck out of me too. But I found out that the vent actuator is vacuum controlled and it runs through the same solenoid as the 4x4
awesome video - ***** 5stars
👍Thanks
My heater is only blowing through the dash vents no matter where the switch is. Could this be a blend door issue?
No you have a vacuum supply issue to the HVAC control head.
@@FordTechMakuloco thanks I will start tracing vacuum lines and hope I find the issue.
So f'ing helpful. Thank you!
What's the difference between blend door and mode door... My superduty only blows air out the dash vent and it won't go to defrost or floor.
+Alex Illar there is a mode door actuator up above the accelerator pedal
+FordTechMakuloco do you have to remove the dash?
what would it be if the knob for defrost to floor dont work?
The motor for that function is behind the drivers knee bolster area.
FordTechMakuloco does it look the same in this video an whats the part called
Yes it does look the same and it is call a mode door actuator.
thanks
Badass!
Wear some thick gloves when doing the duct work or you will probably be bleeding by the end. It doesn't just pop out through the air bag area like this video shows.
anyone here for a 2011 750 it’s not there everything looks the same but it is not there I repeat it is not there. I am looking for it now 😂
Always those superdutys having problems with the hvac smh
All that for such a small part.
there still using thos dam knobs for HVAC controls!?!?! haha and 4WD god dam!!! hahaha i understand its easyer for parts catalog and less shit for parts department but god dam thats outdated xD
Yeah for the manual climate control still knobs, for the 4x4 I actually prefer the knobs compared to the push button on the explorer.
