Heater Issues

[maxab2]

2006 Explorer-When I turn the temp control to heat there is a clicking noise coming from the dash. It blows cool to cold air coming from the vents. Doesn't matter what setting it is on. Right when the control is moved off of cold it starts clicking. It also appears that the first two fan speeds don't seem to work either. Any thoughts?

the clicking noise is the blend door actuator the blower missing 2 speeds is the blower resistor this is general without doing a proper diag we are just guessing based on likely causes but this is most defiantly the causes i know the blend door actuator can be replaced without moving dash but still in tight spot like older explorers it located on driver side just above that console trim make sure you get the ford actuator the aftermarkets don't work well. as far as resistor i would have to look up for you where it is but most likely its located on passenger side near blower motor.

Here is a thread on the blower motor resistor very easy to change.

Thanks Tom! This helps a lot. It's starting to get cold and my daughter is complaining about the cold in the mornings.

Thanks Rcflyer330. I looked at it and it does seem to be a simple replacement.
