>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ok.. I took the whole middle console out and.. no door was there... so i looked around more... And the one behind the glove box looks like its it. The picture is posted above. Its the whiteish color.. I guess this is the one.. the plug seems to match... looks like the same part.. Please please can anyone correct me or let me know a easy way to get to it.
I just got to your other post with the video link in it and I know what our problem is here. You have a 2001 model, which has a different blend door box set up than the 2002-2005 models, which is what I was giving you the repair instructions for. I wasn't aware the older, 2nd generation Explorers had blend door actuator issues like the 3rd generation 2002-2005 Explorers have. Your blend door box is behind your glove box as in the video and mine is under the center dash console area. So follow the video instructions you have and yes, that white box the guy pulls out in the video is your blend door actuator you are looking to replace. Yours is actually a lot easier to replace than mine was. A lot easier to get at. Make sure you follow those instructions on how to properly set up and install the new actuator. Use your vehicles VIN number when ordering the new actuator from Ford to ensure you get the right part for your exact vehicle. You should be good to go from here. Good luck!
BTW, even though you mentioned your vehicle year in your first post, it might be a good idea to list your vehicle specs under your screen name, so people can see what type of vehicle you are asking for help with each time you post a new message in here.
