Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blend Door Actuator P/N:604-701
Regain steady control of your cabin airflow with the Dorman blend door actuator (604-209), an HVAC heater blend door actuator that drives the main blend door to regulate how much heated and cooled air mixes inside the HVAC case. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2002-2010 Ford Explorer, 2003-2006 Ford Expedition and 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and is engineered to drop in like the original air door actuator on the listed applications; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
This is the MAIN-position actuator. Because these vehicles often use several air door actuators for different positions and functions, review the application notes to confirm it matches the actuator you need to replace.
If a failed main blend door actuator is the cause of erratic temperature, stuck output, or clicking behind the dash, this replaces it.
