Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Dorman 604-214 HVAC Blend Door Actuator: Ideal for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury Models - Black by Mike Burnett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tested and working! $1,000 saved

Local businesses have tried to intimidate me into working for $1,000. I did it in 3 hours. My mechanical abilities are modest at best. How I installed it. Remove the panel, airbag, vent and air duct. remove some wires. There is no need to remove the radio or dash front screw which is easily accessible. Then I stuck a large screwdriver under it and broke the back post it was bolted to. Really lucky with that. For the front screw I cut off the plastic tab of the old part. The old part is now missing as is the rear pillar. I attached the rear post to the new part, I could have taken the front screw out but decided to cut out the new part to fit the old part in front. Insert the new part, line it up with the rear post without the screw, put the other rear post in the slot it came from and screw it in the front. Battery cables returned, car started and checked. I watched the actuator move the mixer flap. called it good! The automatic temperature control is now working again.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Very expensive
