Four Seasons HVAC Defrost Mode Door Actuator,HVAC Mode Door Actuator P/N:73512
Four Seasons 73012 recirculation door actuator for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang is the small motor that moves the HVAC air door, which switches the cabin between fresh and recirculated air.
A failing actuator can show up as air that will not switch between fresh and recirculated, or as clicking from the dash when you change the setting. A damaged connector or a blown fuse can also stop a door from moving, so look those over with the ignition off before replacing the actuator. A shop can test the actuator itself.
This actuator is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang.
