Keep cabin airflow under control with the Dorman hvac heater blend door actuator 604-242, an electric motor that repositions the MAIN-position air door inside the HVAC case to direct airflow to your vents; Dorman lists it as a mode air door actuator. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement, among them the 2009-2010 Ford F-150, 2010-2014 Ford Mustang and 2008-2012 Ford Escape — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment.

  • Direct replacement: engineered to install and operate like the original air door actuator on the listed applications.
  • Position specific (MAIN): this unit serves the MAIN door position; because many vehicles use several HVAC door actuators for different positions and functions, check the application notes to confirm it matches the one you need to replace.
  • Durable construction: designed and tested to strict standards to help resist wear and electrical burnout for reliable, long service.
  • Backed by experience: supported by a team of engineers and experts in the United States with more than a century of experience.

Signs the original actuator may need replacing include a clicking or knocking noise behind the dash or airflow stuck on one setting. If a failed MAIN air door actuator is the cause, this Dorman air door actuator replaces it — diagnose the concern first, as these symptoms can have other causes.
