Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blend Door Actuator P/N:604-287
Get your climate control moving again with the Dorman blend door actuator 604-217, a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1997 Ford Explorer, 1995-1997 Ford Ranger, and 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. This MAIN-position HVAC air door actuator is a small electric motor that drives the blend/air door to control airflow through the heating and cooling system, and it's designed to restore proper HVAC operation when the original unit has failed.
Clicking or knocking behind the dash, temperature or airflow that won't change, or a blend door stuck on one setting can be signs the actuator may need replacing. If a failed MAIN air door actuator is the cause, this Dorman heater blend door actuator replaces it. If you're unsure which actuator position you need, consult a qualified service technician.
