Dorman - OE Solutions A/C Tubing P/N:926-964
Help keep your Ford's heater blend door moving on command with the Dorman - OE Solutions A/C Vacuum Actuator / Heater Blend Door Actuator, part number 926-180. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1992-2002 Ford E-150 Econoline, 1992-2000 Ford E-350 Econoline and 1999-2018 Ford E-350 Super Duty. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The part is listed under both names. It is cataloged as an A/C vacuum actuator, and Dorman describes it as a heater blend door actuator. A vacuum actuator uses a vacuum signal to move a door in the heating and air conditioning system. Here that door is the heater blend door, which controls how much air passes through the heater core.
Signs this part may need replacing include airflow stuck at one temperature, a temperature setting that does not change the air coming out, or a vacuum leak at the actuator. If a failed actuator is the cause, 926-180 replaces it. Other vacuum and HVAC control faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing parts.
