Blend door actuator needed.

[BAD MERC]

Good grief this was just replaced 16 years ago!!!

Went out on a chilly morning three weeks and go and turned the temp to heat and CLICK CLICK CLICK.
Oh man I know that sound. I don't necessarily mind doing the job but I am not going that far into the dash to install aftermarket parts if I can avoid it.

Let me know if you have a Motorcraft YH-1766 you'd like to sell. OR... if you've personally used another brand with positive results.

Thanks!

Suggestion : When you do new install make sure the metal post
the actuator installs on to rotates very freely.. Take a can of penetrating oil
with a tube nozzle and spray the shaft and make sure it seeps down.
Keep rotating back and forth until there is no resistance.
It happens quite frequently actuators are getting replaced and installed on to posts that dont turn freely
and guess what happens. Hope this helps.
PS last one I did was 4 years ago and it was OEM. Hope it out lasts me.

I did the EATC test and it was blend door. First one was done by Carfixer that I believe was a 45 minute affair in the driveway. Good call on using lube for the pivot areas.
