In the HVAC system, the Four Seasons 73217 blend door actuator for the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar and other vehicles is the motor that moves the door that mixes heated and cooled air.
- Engineered for years of trouble-free operation, backed by over 50 years of mobile A/C experience
- Meets or exceeds OE specifications for fit and function
- Quality internal motor, drive gears, electronics and connections
- Tested for function, durability and longevity
Air that stays hot or cold no matter the temperature setting, or a ticking or clicking from the dash, can mean the actuator is failing. These signs alone don't prove it, since a stuck or broken blend door is another common cause.
Besides the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, it fits the 1995-2000 Ford Contour and the 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique. If your car isn't named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
