- 1997 explorer awd
So I've been fixing up a 97 Eddie Bauer AWD 5.0L explorer for a while now. I seem to have hit a snag however. It used to be, when I would turn the truck on, there would be a loud clicking coming from behind the glovebox, and when I unplugged the blend door, the clicking went away.
Since I'm hoping to sell it when I'm done with it, I decided that instead of cutting the plenum, I'd pull the dash off (had to do some rewiring anyway).
At the moment, I have the wiring harness disconnected from the dash, and nearly everything plugged in (few stray connectors). It turns on, but when I change the blower settings, only the two vents move, the blend door does not move. I had purchased a replacement blend door actuator, as I thought that might be broken, but that one doesn't move either.
This truck doesn't have a knob, it has the buttons and gives a numerical readout of what it's supposed to be, I assume that the lowest setting on that is the same as having the dial turned all the way down and vice versa.
Anybody have any experience doing this?
