Jojomofo21 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ok so I rarely use my a/c but it's been so hot recently I have been cranking it up. Every time I start the car now there is s loud clicking noise that seems to be coming from the dash board/pass airbag area. It clicks 7-10 times and then goes off. Only happens when I first start the car. Any ideas? I'm goon to take it in as soon as I get a chance but was indexing if anyone has experienced this problem before.

PDXSHO Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 My F150 did the same thing. I never did figure out what it was. I always chalked it up to the fan clutch. I have not used AC much on the SHO yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sounds like a blend door motor, I believe its known issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulford8 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I just noticed this post... Did you guys get it fixed? Mine did the same thing, center blend door actuator. Guy at work also had the same issue. Dealer fixed mine as I was still under the bumper to bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the extended 100k platinum warranty so we will see what they say. Taking it in after mustang week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mmyr1chter Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Its covered, no questions asked. Mine did the same thing and they fixed it without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well mine would have been fixed by now, but they told me, "Your passenger side seat is heating fine". Before I take my car in for it's next service, I am going to write an explicit note as to what they need to fix. Hopefully they get it right 100%, but I am not making a bet on it.

IrishTwinturbos Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Taking mine to the dealer next Tuesday to have this fixed as well. Really glad I found this thread before I called the dealer, they should have the part in hand rather than me having to wait for them diagnose the car and then order it.

h1h0silver Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 If someone could please get me the part number so I can order one. Dealer thinks it's one of the fans. I'm beyond b2b warranty and it would cost too much at dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCandySHO Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Crazy, mine just did this on the weekend. Guess I better mention it when I go to the dealer for my next oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I have the same exact issue......I will be covered under the certified warranty though. Very common issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Skellington Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 If someone could please get me the part number so I can order one. Dealer thinks it's one of the fans. I'm beyond b2b warranty and it would cost too much at dealer. Just came looking for this exact same thing. So far I have ordered two that have said they were for 2010+ Taurus and neither has fit. It is an extremely cheap part $15-$25 and simple to install (two screws). I am under warranty and have extended warranty too but if I can do it myself for $25 it'll save me a trip to the dealer.

mjhpadi Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 From what I understand it is kinda of a big job to fix the blend doors. Requires removing a bunch of the dash....so it may be best to let the dealer repair it, especially since it is still in warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Since I have a $100 deductible for the certified warrantys, I am just waiting until i have a few things and then go in, as it is $100 per visit, not $100 per issue - in the meantime, we joke about the little man living in the dash who knocks to get out.

tss Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 ^^ Oh yeah, forgot that.. LOL.

You just unsnap it and the actuator is there held in place with two screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Skellington Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Update*** I finally got the right one. For those that might need the one behind the glovebox this is it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-FORD-LINCOLN-MERCURY-OEM-BLEND-DOOR-ACTUATOR-AA5Z-19E616-C-/280886764325?forcev4exp=true&forceRpt=true Part# #AA5Z-19E616-C or YH-1779 Took literally 5mins to replace.

tss Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 This would certainly be more convenient for me then taking it to the dealer. By any chance, did you snap a photograph of the location? I know how to drop the glovebox. I have changed the cabin air filter before.... is it to the left, right, below, or above the filter door? I don't see why the part number for the Lincoln would be any different than the Ford..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 according to ebay fitment chart Tss is says it fits the lincoln also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Crash, when I wrote that I was on my phone and had trouble accessing the link. I just ordered one. Hopefully the install is as easy for me. It was worth a roll of the dice for me for 19 bucks to avoid the dealer, and thus avoid having to reprogram to stock tune, and avoid delaying the install on my Airaid when it arrives next week. Just to be safe, I plan to take the intake out, as well as reprogram to stock, when going in for service. So, if I had to go in for this, I would have delayed the initial install, which would have driven me CRAZY. Thanks again for the part number and link Jack.

I didnt snap a picture, but it is literally directly behind the glovebox about 2-3 inches to the left of center. You cant miss it. Oh and for giggles I took apart the old one. There is a motor that drives a gear attached to another gear attached to a third gear that is the actual shaft. That last gear was missing teeth.
