Hello all. I've had my 2007 Expedition XLT for a month now and really like it. Seems to be a solid vehicle, 153K and running good so I'm doing a few minor repairs. The first was the mode door actuator (drivers side above and to the right of gas pedal) which I replaced earlier today. I read many posts here and watched many videos and other than the uncomfortable position I had to get in it wasn't very difficult.
Unfortunately that didn't solve the problem. I was stuck with air blowing out the face vents and with the new actuator installed it is now blowing through the floor vents. But changing modes does nothing. I pulled fuse 15 to reset the climate system with no change. What next? I was able to move the mode door by hand to align it for the new actuator so I know the mode door itself isn't stuck.
How do I diagnose if it is a bad new actuator or bad switch or bad climate module or ???
