Getting the old one out and this new one back in is a whole other story. I did like several YouTube channels said and pulled the bottom of the dash and the speedo cluster out. Took 1 hour to remove the old part and I wasted a lot of time trying to get the new one in as the splines would never line up and my hands were too big. I ran out of daylight on the first attempt to get it back in so the next day I tried again but used a long set of hemostat (about 1 ft long) to hold the actuator under the dash while lining up all the bolts and splines. Once I used this tool, I had it installed and the dash back together in under 1 hour. Part looked exactly as the OEM it removed, as expected because it was advertised as a Motorcraft part Review: 2005 F-150: This installs on DRIVER side under dash, NOT behind the radio - There's a lot of confusion around this part for 2004-2008 11th gen F-150 owners, so I hope my below review helps clear this up. TLDR: This actuator goes under the DRIVER'S side of the dash, right above the gas pedal. This unit controls vent mode doors. This does NOT go behind the center radio unit, which controls the blend door. The actuator behind the radio unit has a significantly longer stem than this one. If you need the actuator behind the radio, then you'll want MotorCraft part number YH1752 I own a 2005 F-150 XLT with manual climate controls, and I was experiencing an issue where my air and heat would only blow out of the defrost and floor vents. I did a lot of research online, and I initially thought it was a vacuum line issue, but that only applies to F-150s that are year 2003 and older. 10th gen and below F series have their climate system vent doors controlled via a vacuum line from the engine bay. But 2004 and up F-150s use an electronic mode actuator (this product) to control the vent doors. I realized that my actuator was not working when I would switch my vent mode to front panel only, but it was still blowing out of just the defrost and floor. Installing this is slightly difficult, you'll just have to angle your hand in with an 8mm socket to get the 3 screws that mount this to the side of the footwell, to the top right of the gas pedal. It's an awkward position but it's doable. You'll also need to disconnect the cable that has a red tab at the end of it by pulling on the red tab, then pushing on the release mechanism holding the connector in place to pull it off. Once I installed my new one, my vent mode selection began working properly. 5 stars for this part, as it solved my problem. ## Features - Package Dimensions: 13.716 H x 0.254 L x 8.636 W (centimeters) - Part number: YH1769 - Fit type: Vehicle Specific - Included components: Motor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004A2D4X4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #35,969 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #18 in Automotive Replacement Heater Blend Door Levers | | Brand Name | Motorcraft | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 557 Reviews | | Fit Type | Vehicle Specific | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00031508569836 | | Included Components | Heater Blend Door Actuator | | Item Dimensions | 5.21 x 3.47 x 4.08 inches | | Item Type Name | Heater Blend Door Actuator | | Item Weight | 4.23 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Motorcraft | | Manufacturer Part Number | YH1769 | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | YH1769 | | Specific Uses For Product | Door | | UPC | 031508569836 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Motorcraft - **Item Weight:** 4.23 Ounces - **Manufacturer:** Motorcraft - **Material:** Metal - **Model Name:** Heater Blend Door Actuator ## Images ![YH-1769 A/C Heater Blend Door Lever - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oRKkecZyL.jpg) ![YH-1769 A/C Heater Blend Door Lever - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ovP1aMniL.jpg) ![YH-1769 A/C Heater Blend Door Lever - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51n9015bsbL.jpg) ![YH-1769 A/C Heater Blend Door Lever - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41VS5n08l5L.jpg) ![YH-1769 A/C Heater Blend Door Lever - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mMJqI+ZiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this the fresh air actuator for the 2011 ford explorer?** A: yes **Q: Is subject line incorrect this is the hvac defrost mode door actuator part #: yh1769 (19e616) usage: defrost/panel/floor 02/06/12 -03/01/19, taurus?** A: This is that door actuator.

Durability same, works at it should. Installation was a little tough got it done in 400ish minutes. If you know what to look for under neath the driver side near the acceleration peddle above beside it. It matched the OEM for sure. Value not bad. ## Frequently Bought Together - Motorcraft Ford HVAC Heater Blend Door Actuator Motor Motorcraft YH1769. - DEWALT Right Angle Attachment, Flex Shaft, Drill Attachment, 12-Inch (DWARAFS) - Motorcraft YH-1779 Blend Door Actuator Motor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/18651027-yh-1769-a-c-heater-blend-door-lever](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/18651027-yh-1769-a-c-heater-blend-door-lever) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
