    blend door actuator

    Hello,


    does anyone have the ford part number for the blend door actuator? And also is there anywhere I can get a better price. I called the local dealership and they quoted $100. I saw this one an amazon:

    https://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-YH...art/B004A2GTWM

    would that work?


    but am not sure if I would be better off going through stealership. I know I dont want this going out ever again...

    There are 2 different actuators, 1 for cars with ETAC and one without.

    By all means get a Motorcraft one. Aftermarket ones like Dorman will fail again. They are usually about $75.00.

    If you do it right it should take no more than 3 - 4 hours. The ones I do take the full 4 hours because I clean every part I take off. You'll be amazed at the amount of dust, dirt and gunk that are behind the panels and in the parts you remove.

    I used OEM and only paid $53 shipped from rockauto - looks like they only have Dorman ones in stock now, but if you google you will find other sites. I see one on amazon for $48 shipped. Part number is Motorcraft YH-1766

    Like replacing the BCM, I found it to not be nearly as big of a deal as it is made out to be (no I don't have teeny hands). Of course other jobs were much more involved for me than they seemed to be for others

    As I've heard others say, take it slow and be patient, as soon as you get pissed off is when it turns into a PITA. I think it took a few hours first time - don't remember what I took off of dash but it wasn't that much

    Get it from rockauto and use the site's discount, it will be about 60 something. Only buy Motorcraft.
    Last Sunday I replaced it on CJ's boosted DTR Marauder, took me 2 hours.
