Well after reading all the great info on blend door problems I decided to tackle mine.
This is what I found, a small gear with a couple broken teeth. I took the little motor out and tested it with a 9 volt battery and the motor still runs fine. in both diretions. But when I hook it back up to the harness and mess with the temperature buttons the motor doesn't even seem to be getting any voltage.
I checked all the fuses in the explorer and did not find any faulty ones.
now I am scratching my head...
I can replace the broken gear or the entire actuator box but I have a feeling this wil not fix the problem since I can't get the motor to react while plugged into the explorer harness.
Is ther a way to permanently set my blend door on cold since I never use the heater anyway? I just want to get my AC runing cold again. It is stuck on high heat.
