Expedition XLT 4.6L V8

  • Automatic transmission

When trying to change to the floor A/C, (it mainly did it on heat) the rear A/C switcher door would click and thump. The Actuator motor gear was partially stripped. Easy replace, pull the cover off and swap.

I have a 2003 Ford (1st ford I've owned) which I purchased in 2003!! Lately I have heard some clicking noise from the (L) rear of the vehicle. This noise is constant when the rear AC/Heater is set to ON........

Update from May 16, 2009: A/C went out today.....i have a 1996 Camry and EVERYTHING still works....

I endured a clicking sound coming from the rear ac/heat for several years. I could control it by not setting the temp gauge to extremes. However now the heat does not work at all. It only blows cold air.

When I turned on the rear ac there was a constant clicking noise very annoying...had it checked out by a Ford dealership and they told me it was a blend door actuator that was faulty...I had to have it repaired...I still had my 6 month limited warranty that covered some of it but I still had to pay $129.25...extended warranty will not cover this issue

  • Automatic transmission

This is an annoyance that can sometimes be eliminated by setting the rear heater/air conditioner controls to some setting. The setting that eliminates the noise changes, and has no relationship to the actual comfort of the occupants. I'd like to avoid tearing down the headliner to replace some actuator or door flap in a duct, but I don't see any alternative, any ideas?
