Review on Motorcraft YH 1744 Blend Door Actuator by Rahman Lassiter

Just replaced the faucet door actuator in a 2008 Eddie Bauer Explorer V6 following these instructions. Very easy to replace by simply removing the driver's footwell side panel and the support post behind it (NOT the entire center console as some manuals claim) and then using a ratchet wrench to remove the drive in hard to reach places. Took 45 minutes and it worked straight away. I recommend turning the heater switch to "cold” before starting. The part number on the block I took out matched this replacement part: 1L2H-19E616-CD. The rack nuts and bolts are 10mm in diameter and the drive screws are 8mm in diameter. My 2008 Explorer model had three screws holding the drive in place, despite the four tabs on the unit.
