Do it yourself - don't take the dealer

The hardest part was getting the part - it just takes time. A video on Youtube showed that the work was done in 20 minutes. It took me 5 hours but it was worth it. I probably saved $500.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Not everything fits

2010 Ford Escape is suitable for engine cooling and air conditioning

*Update 3 months after installation* The device is now defective. It worked great at first, but as the cold snap approached it wasn't possible to switch the airflow to the windshield. I have contacted Dorman for a replacement and will update this review in the future if needed. Direct replacement and works great in my 2010 Ford Escape.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Security

Saved hundreds on car repairs

Thanks YouTube and Revain. Instead of taking my daughter's Ford Escape to the dealership when the vents stopped blowing properly (air was only coming out of the defroster), we figured it out for ourselves and saved hundreds. This part is connected in the instrument panel next to the accelerator pedal. Even if you have to bend your body to get to the part, it's as easy as plugging it in and go once you're there.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Gave this unit 3 stars as it only lasted 10 months.

High quality and easy (somewhat) to install on my 11 year old Escape. It is located above the accelerator pedal on the side of the air conditioner as an actuator for the mode door (vent, floor, defrost positions). Insert the 7mm head and it comes straight out (two screws). Line up the slots (I cheated and connected, started the car and let it go to the vent position.) and then it falls in place. to the ventilation position. Working with Dorman and Revane to find a replacement.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Factor set

Buy Ford Version

I have had excellent results with other Dorman branded parts. This should be avoided. Buy the Ford version instead. Maybe even take apart a new Ford part and add some lube before installing it. The original Ford part has worked for 10 years. This Dorman part worked great for 3 months and then failed miserably. This is a very difficult part to replace on the passenger side of a 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid / Mercury Mariner Hybrid. This should be designed as a replaceable part of the service - 10-15…

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • Quality
