First, this video was incredible, helped me out tremendously and saved me a lot of money! But two things I learned: 1) Like in this video, I replaced the driver side actuator, which controls the mode (Floor, dash, defrost) But the clicking continued. It turned out it was the passenger side actuator behind the glove box that was the culprit. This controls the recirc/outside air function. It's much easier to get to than the driver's side. 2) The replacement part for the DRIVER side mode door needs to have the circuit board INSIDE the old actuator transferred to the new part. The board gives feedback to the body computer where the motor/door is in its travel. The PASSENGER side actuator will NOT have this circuit board because the recirc function just opens and closes the door on that side, there's no in between. I hope my experience helps others!
I just replaced my actuator today and now instead of it only blowing defrost it only blows front and floor vents so you may have just saved my life by mentioning the circuit board in the actuator so thank you!
Robert Cucchiaro is it the same door blend for both sides ? I changed the one under the steering wheel but the passenger side still does annoying clicking.
Just tried replacing it on my 2016 fist but the circuit board wouldn’t fit in the new actuator. The pin size on the cog did not match. Time to order the Part from Ford.
Thank you for sharing this. I just replaced the actuator on my wife's 2014 Fiesta today. Very smooth process and save us the labour cost a few hundred dollars.
FYI for anyone who doesn't hear the exact same noise, the noise from my car was coming from around the same place but was a constant loud buzz for several seconds when the vents were closed rather than a click. Replacing the blend door actuator still fixed the issue, I did a teardown on the old part and noticed the keyed motor rod had torn up the plastic gear so it was mostly spinning freely causing the buzzing. Great video! Good camera work, made it really easy to follow along with the repair. Took about 2 hours for me, those screws were really difficult to get out and back in.
Thank you for this video. I just made this repair. Took me 1 hour, although 15 minutes of that was working, 45 minutes was swearing and taking breaks curse the designers. Getting the bottom screw in the new part was tricky. Everything else went OK. Thanks again.
Much thanks! Repaired my 2015 Fiesta Titanium 5spd. Blower actuator today using this tutorial. Took me just shy of 1 hour. Most of the time was struggling with putting the screws back in to hold the actuator in place. One tip. When putting the screws back in, tighten them as far as possible using only the torch bit. Then, add the ratchet to the bit to finish tightening.
I did it! It was not easy so I would give a little advice. 1) determine weather the clicking is coming from the driver or passenger side . To do this drop your glove compartment door and you can see the passenger module easily . Then test the system , if that is not clicking then you know its the driver side which is what this video is about. 2) Get good lighting from different angles. 3) Make sure you have good eyesight and a flexible left arm. 4) Take your time in removing the cable from the module. The red lock is tricky to pull up to release but tinker and it will happen. 5) When replacing the new module, the new gear has to be rotated to fit properly . It may be okay if the old actuator has the gear in the same position as the new one. Otherwise the large gear wheel has to be rotated until the module gear seats itself. One more comment, Ford did a bad job on this issue. They knew it was bad but did not correct the problem. It is very expensive repair going to the dealer.
@rapinncapin123 my girlfriend just got a quote from our local Ford dealership for almost $2000 for replacement. The part is $52 on the quote, with over $1900 of that being labor cost...ridiculous!
This video was very helpful in helping me deal with this problem with my 2017 Ford Fiesta SE inexpensively. I've seen at least one other video demonstrating this exact situation; however, this one stressed important subtleties that make it a better video. I used a Klein 65200 mini ratchet to remove the actuator. It was not easy for me as a left-handed person, but it was doable. (I found that I had to use my right hand to get into position. This is the third climate control actuator that has failed in my vehicle. The date on the part I removed suggested it as original but the knocking sound came from the exact location that it had previously so maybe it wasn't a "brand new part" when it was replaced previously. The first two times saw failures in cold weather but this time was different. Overall I am not amused with the random minor failures of auxiliary equipment in my Ford. I have what I believe to be a jammed window regulator in the rear passenger-side door that I noticed around the same time as this most recent climate control actuator failure. I miss my 1998 Toyota Corolla LE which generally only failed for well-deserved reasons related to age and neglect, heh...
This excellent, helpful video saved me time and money! I was able to do this without removing the airbag like showed, but I was barely able to fit my hands and arms in these small spaces - and don’t drop your torx socket like I did under the dash. It took me 30 minuets to find it where it fell into a space under the steering column. 🤣
I have a 2012 ford festival my compressor clutch wasn't working at all it actually quiet blowing cold air,after watching one of your videos I pulled out I think number 6 fuse an jumped it over with a paper clip,well my clutch started working but it stays on. Also my center console where you change from hot to cold is clicking just like this video . Question is you think if I replace the actuator like you did it will allow the cold air to circulate through the cabin.my ac line isn't really cold at all. Thank you love your all's viedos
I have this problem, but the blend door actuator was accessible by removing the glove box in my 2011 ford fiesta hatchback. Still thanks for posting the video, i had gotten bad advice about how the blower must be clogged, but I can actually see the blend door pulsating as if that same gear has a broken tooth.
for anyone reading this, there are 2 actuators in the car. The one under the steering wheel controls blend hot/cold/AC. The one by the passenger controls interior/exterior airflow.
Gracias habia sacado el de la guantera y estaba perfecto solo que hacia funcionar la re circulación de aire. Y el actuador de posición del aire nl me funcionaba
Great vedio. Thanks I know my problem but I have right hand one it's hard to get to. These to pipes for AC in the way & the clutch pedal doesn't give much room to work with 😔
I have a clicking in a right hand drive ford fiesta and it's part number, 1S7H-19E616-BC. The part is at the lower part of the drive side. No need to take off steering wheel plastic surround.
Hi. First of all thank you for all your tutorial video. great help to a DIY newbie like me. But i browsed your playlist and havent seen any video tutorial on how to replace the blend door actuator of a ford focus mk3. my 2013 hatch is blowing hot air on the passenger side, i'm hoping you can post one. great help to see a video on how to remove the passenger side blend door actuator. thanks
Awesome video!! as usual. Could a defective actuator affect the AC performance as well? Do you have a video about the system not recognizing the SD card, usb dont work, no sound from my ph but displays the songs name. Shows "prompt volume. Radio sound works fine. I tried removing the fuse and disconnecting the battery but no luck. Thanks a lot!!
I ckicked on your link that said heater not blowing hot air, but it was a video about clicking noise, not warm air. Can you tell me how to fix my 2011 fiesta heater? Fan blows good, but will not get hot. Thanks
Hi, very informative video, however could u please do similar but with 2018+ Ford fiesta taitanium turbo uk model if possible as it is different layout.... I was told by Ford dealer there are 3 blender door actuators. In my car clicking sound coming from just knee height from clutch pedal. Thank you
Hey repair guys will that vent door actuator cause my 2012 ford festiva making same noise cause me not to get any cold air? I'd appreciate it if you could tell me , my wife has Ms and could really use the air. The compressor clutch is turning now that I jumped it over from the number6 fuse but turning all time, but no cold air. Thank you for your videos you guys are life savers on alot of stuff I just need you to answer my question if you can thanks.
Just started hearing this clicking today in a 2017 Fiesta, and have a basic question that wasn’t answered in the video: How urgent is it to repair this? Is it okay to keep driving for a few weeks in this condition? Thanks for the helpful video!
Shoot man. I feel bad this went so long unanswered. Neglecting to do this repair won't harm anything, except maybe in some pretty extreme circumstances, and I only say that so that someone doesn't come by and say, 'well if such and such happens it would cause harm'. The only reason I'm wanting to do it is because it's annoying and I've noticed that the temperature controls are either really cold or very hot and nowhere in between. So I'm finally getting around to doing it.
Ended up having to wait a couple months before I was able to get this repaired in my car, but it was fine (besides the annoyance of the clicking sound). Thanks for responding.
@@joshuabronson7757 Can you tell me how much it cost you to get this repaired? My 2015 has this issue and I’m debating on whether I should attempt it myself or take it to a professional.
hi, good video, on my fiesta, it dont click, but it does not change from face vent to floor, no matter what button is pushed, the buttons light up when pressed, but air flow is on face vents all the time, do u think i need the actuator, of maybe i could get inside it and have a look. your views please.
Great video! my wife has a 2015 fiesta which has been making this clicking noise for a while. she took it to the mechanic and he told her that it was a actuator and that he fixed it. but when she got the car back, it was still making the noise. she didn't go back. I'm going to tackle this. didn't realize what a job it would be. my only question is, why does the noise sound like it's coming from the glove compartment? Thanks
The recirculating door actuator is behind the glove box (oem part: YH1896), different actuator. the one in the video is the mode door actuator (oem part: YH1895), but same general idea. If you want to check if that's what it is, you can fold the glove box down and unplug it, if the clicking stops that's the culprit. As far as I know, the 2015 fiesta has 3 actuators, mode door (controls which vents air comes out of), recirculating door, and blend door (controls air temperature, oem part: YH1935, in the same general area as the one in the video).
@@broomhandle1 LM good info except your part numbers are wrong: Yh1896 is mode or "defrost" one Yh1895 is recirculation or inlet one Yh1935 is the blend/temp door but was replaced by yh2016
She should have absolutely went back and told the mechanic to fix it like he said it was, unless the other one went out he would never know and never have the opportunity to fix it.
Hi my fiesta is making the same noise but also getting no air at all blowing through the vents. Would the actuator be the cause of this or do would you still get air.
Nice video bro.by the way how many actuators are there total in your vehicle?. I have a Ford figo 2018 air is not blowing to face direct and leg setting. When I select face direct or leg only or both together the air blowing through near windshield area only and making wind shield to get foggy.what could be the problem can you suggest please?thank you
Hello Folks, very educational video! I have the same problem with my 2013 Focus. I would deeply appreciate if you guys or any of the readers could please post a video on how to access and replace the same item on my vehicle. Thanks in anticipation of cooperation!
I just changed the blend door actuator on the driver side. but now it's not working properly. it likenthat whole system is stuck on the front window defrost. I can't get it to go to other stairs flow settings.
That's is actually the MODE door actuator. If you purchase the blend door actuator and replace this part it is not correct. The blend door actuator will fit in the same spot, and even plug in, however look closely at your pins and connectors. Mode door (drivers side in video) has 5 pins. Blend door on passenger side behind glove box has 2 pins.
does anyone know if the actuator is on the side regardless if left or right hand drive? or would it follow the steering wheel? I have a UK 2010 Ford Fiesta making the annoying clicking.
So I absolutely get this clicking sound. Like I’m almost certain this is the issue but would this stop my airflow? I can feel a little air coming out of the vents but all of a sudden my a/c went from full blast to now it doesn’t blow. I can slightly feel some cold air coming out but it’s like almost nothing. Anyone have any advice?
Hey Mason. My 2013 RHD ST has the same issue (I think). Suggests that the blend door is stuck on one setting - in my case the 'defrost' position, which is when the majority of the air flow is diverted to the screen and side quarter lights. I too have minimal airflow from the dash vents. In my case I have had no clicking or buzzing but am pretty sure it's the actuator shown in this video which has failed. The other actuator (behind the glove box) only controls the 2 position flap for 'outside air' or 'recirculated cabin air'. No doubt you had it sorted ages ago but just in case not...
My dealer quoted 850. I even questioned them and sat down in the maintenance manager's office for a bit. She called in a mechanic and they both checked the quote. They kept arriving at the same quote. Their system just allows SO many hours for this job (I think their system had it at 4-5 hours). That's 500-650 in labor right there at least. It's ridiculous.
Just to be clear that is the mode actuator not the blend actuator. Gets confusing when there are 3 of them and they all look the same and everyone calls all 3 of them blend doors.
On mine there's an occasional weird electronic buzzing noise that's coming from a vent like thing near the start button on the right side of the steering wheel (on a Left hand Drive Fiesta ST). I believe it's the thermostat for measuring cabin air temperature for temperature control. I just taped it up since it annoys me. IS that what you're talking about? Sometimes over bumps there's some weird sounds coming from above the steering wheel area in the dash, like little sea shells rattling around.\ Lots of squeaks and creeks and weird noises in the car, from all different areas really. I don't think there's much you can do about it.
Be carefull, amaon and others are suggesting doorman #604-292 as a replacment...IT DOES NOT WORK!! in fact this part has only 2 pins in the connector OEM has 5 pins and the internal encoder..😡 i will have to re-check my source for parts oem part # is AE8H-19E616-BC....i guess we have to make sure it fits better than amazon suggestions, make, model, year....

I need help on the passenger side blend door actuator. I don't know where it's located. Can you make a video on it please?

Blend door on passenger side behind glove box has 2 pins.
does anyone know if the actuator is on the side regardless if left or right hand drive? or would it follow the steering wheel? I have a UK 2010 Ford Fiesta making the annoying clicking.
Hello I got a question how does it stop, when is full moved?
In my focus the passenger side is cold and the driver side warm/hot could this be the problem
Thank s useful
I can't select where to blow air, do you have a tut on that? should be something in the same area...
Can you guys do a video on how to replace front sway bars on fiesta st? Thank you
I've done, is a painnnnn, look on Cobb's channel
Pedro García cobb channel shows how to do it? Like i need more than just pictures tho. Thats why a video be nice
Mine doesn't switch from the "face position" it's stuck, i press feet or windshield but nothing happens just stay on face :/
So I absolutely get this clicking sound. Like I’m almost certain this is the issue but would this stop my airflow? I can feel a little air coming out of the vents but all of a sudden my a/c went from full blast to now it doesn’t blow. I can slightly feel some cold air coming out but it’s like almost nothing. Anyone have any advice?
Hey Mason. My 2013 RHD ST has the same issue (I think). Suggests that the blend door is stuck on one setting - in my case the 'defrost' position, which is when the majority of the air flow is diverted to the screen and side quarter lights. I too have minimal airflow from the dash vents. In my case I have had no clicking or buzzing but am pretty sure it's the actuator shown in this video which has failed. The other actuator (behind the glove box) only controls the 2 position flap for 'outside air' or 'recirculated cabin air'. No doubt you had it sorted ages ago but just in case not...
Had dealer do mine about three yrs ago under warranty. The problem just reappeared today.
How many door actuator does the Ford Fiesta have?
Very informative clip thank you, How many Blend Door Actuators does the 2009 Fiesta have and do you have part numbers for these

how do you calibrate the climate?
It’s actually the evaporator, the condenser is in front of the radiator
What is the function of that actuator ?
thank you boys steve uk
Anyone in the UK with opposite driver side ever find it? It’s on my driver side but can’t find it
Couldn't you remove the plastic Peace below the steering wheel to get to it
Ok but where is the one that controls the heat and cold I cannot find it I have found 2 but where is the other one
why is my hot air not coming out of my vents it feels hot to the tuch just not blowing???
Has anyone tried to buy a replacement gear?
hey guys
I thought there was a blend door reset procedure for this, sounds like they aren't in the correct place.
I just paid 550 for them to fix mine and the part itself was $50, the rest was labor...
My dealer quoted 850. I even questioned them and sat down in the maintenance manager's office for a bit. She called in a mechanic and they both checked the quote. They kept arriving at the same quote. Their system just allows SO many hours for this job (I think their system had it at 4-5 hours). That's 500-650 in labor right there at least. It's ridiculous.
I take it neither of you have ever attempted taking a dash apart yourselves! Goodluck
@@travispoulton6485 it looks like a ten minute job no?
Just to be clear that is the mode actuator not the blend actuator. Gets confusing when there are 3 of them and they all look the same and everyone calls all 3 of them blend doors.
That’s the heater matrix pal.

How to repair noisy sound from dashboard near ac ventilation for fiesta/ecosport?
On mine there's an occasional weird electronic buzzing noise that's coming from a vent like thing near the start button on the right side of the steering wheel (on a Left hand Drive Fiesta ST). I believe it's the thermostat for measuring cabin air temperature for temperature control. I just taped it up since it annoys me. IS that what you're talking about?
Sometimes over bumps there's some weird sounds coming from above the steering wheel area in the dash, like little sea shells rattling around.\
Lots of squeaks and creeks and weird noises in the car, from all different areas really.
I don't think there's much you can do about it.
@@BensCoffeeRants it is come from the dashboard for the sound.
can the warranty fix this little issue?
Yes, mine did. But now it broke again after the warranty, so I would need to either handle it myself or pay for it to get fixed
Be carefull, amaon and others are suggesting doorman #604-292 as a replacment...IT DOES NOT WORK!! in fact this part has only 2 pins in the connector
OEM has 5 pins and the internal encoder..😡 i will have to re-check my source for parts oem part # is AE8H-19E616-BC....i guess we have to make sure it fits better than amazon suggestions, make, model, year....
Are u Lithuanian ?
This is not a heater actuator! That is a mode door actuator.
Dealer: "1500 bucks"
No entiendo nada 😩
Shame on ford. This could have been avoided by not using such a cheap part
