Hi folks, It's been a while since I've been on these forums, hope all of you are well. A few years back I decided to keep my 03 4x4 limited V8 and glad I did. I just couldn't sell it, for lot's of reasons. Great SUV but not without it's share of problems. Before I get to my question, I'll just add that I' bought my Explorer new in 03 and in the last year I replaced the entire suspension / hubs / tie rod ends /bushings / drive shafts /serviced everything, knowing that I plan on keeping her for a long while. Still runs and drives great with 145K miles.
That aside, I believe I have a blend door actuator issue. I can hear some clicking, I get no AC on the drivers side, passenger side and rear is good, filter is clean and I have the automatic climate control.
My question is, how many door actuators are there on my system? I think there are two but can't confirm. If I'm going to pay someone to take out the console / dash and replace the one I want to replace all and everything that could be a potential failure.
By the way I'm being quoted 7 hours to do the job by my local shop. I've used these guys before, no issues, and he showed me in his maintenance manual where it quotes 7 hrs. That said, I doubt it will take that long, but whatever. So since they will have it all apart, I want replace any potential failure items.
Thanks in Advance
