How does the actuator work on a Ford Expedition?
The local auto place didn’t have the part so I took the actuator apart turned the gears 180 degrees, shaved off one of the tooths of the gear that fits into the actuator and it works. It was so easy to get to that I figured any future problems will be easy enough.
Is the actuator on my Ford F150 still working?
I replaced the blend door actuator two times and it still doesn’t work. The First time was with an aftermarket actuator, second time with an OEM from my local Ford dealer and it’s still clicking on my 2012 XLT. I also lifted the battery connection for the actuator calibration.
Where is the fuse number on blend door actuator?
EDIT: From everything you have said and my experience (I’ve replaced it twice within the last year, first time with aftermarket and again with OEM) you are doing everything right except for the fuse number. There is another actuator in the drivers footwell that controls the hvac mode door (which vent the air comes from).

Do you shave off teeth for blend door actuator?
You’ll also have to shave off one of the teeth from the fitting that actually goes into the blend door since there is originally a gap so it can fit into place only one way. Renee Knight, LovesTexas and Tiny1982 like this.
How do you change the Radi bezel on a Ford Expedition?
Pop out radi bezel, radio, and it’s right there. rear bolt is tough to get to, had to use an 8mm socket and a pair of needle nosed pliers to turn it, no room for the socket wrench, but once that was done, the motor popped right out, and within 15 minutes, the new one was in, radio and radio bezel back in, and worked perfectly.
