Keep cabin temperatures where you set them with the Dorman blend door actuator 604-202, an HVAC heater blend door actuator that drives the air-blend door to control how conditioned air is directed through the system. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2002 Ford Explorer, 1995-2011 Ford Ranger and 2002-2004 Ford Expedition, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications that covers the MAIN and AUXILIARY actuator positions. Many vehicles use several different air door actuators, so review the application notes to confirm this one matches the position and function of the actuator you're replacing. If a failed actuator is the cause of a blend door that won't move or a temperature that won't change, this replaces it.
- Direct replacement: engineered to drop in like the original air door actuator on the listed years, makes, models and configurations.
- Position specific: covers the MAIN and AUXILIARY positions; review this part's application notes to verify it matches the location and function of the actuator you need.
- Durable construction: designed and tested to strict standards to help resist wear and electrical burnout for reliable, long service.
- Trustworthy quality: backed by a team of experts and engineers in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Dorman air door actuator 604-202 do?
It's an electric HVAC actuator that drives the air-blend door, positioning it to control how conditioned air is routed through the system. It covers the MAIN and AUXILIARY positions on the listed applications.
Is this the right Ford Explorer heater blend door actuator for a 1995-2002 Ford Explorer?
It's listed for the 1995-2002 Ford Explorer along with other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications. Because these vehicles use multiple actuators, confirm the position and function match before ordering.
How do I know which actuator position I need?
This part covers the MAIN and AUXILIARY positions. Review the application notes to verify it matches the location and function of the actuator you're replacing; if unsure, consult a qualified service technician.
What are the signs this Dorman heater blend door actuator may need replacing?
Common signs include a blend door that won't move, temperatures that won't change or shift on their own, or clicking/knocking behind the dash. Diagnose the cause first, since other parts can produce similar symptoms.
