In my 2004 f150, it doesn't matter what selection I have it on my heater blows out the vents. Is this a simple fix in the selector switch or does it go deeper?

 

Specifically, which vents?

It only blows out the front dash vents

 

Broken ****? Pull the **** off ans see if the **** stem is broken. This is the first thing to check.

 

No, not a broken ****. It turns on and off like it should. It's just when I turn from defrost, floor, vents, etc. it only blows out the front vents. However it turns on and off. It is just stuck on dash vents.

 

After messing with it more, I realized that after about 30 seconds it will change to the different settings. Then it will change like normal ( defrost to floor, floor to defrost and so forth) but as soon as I go to vent it takes about 30 seconds to change to the other settings or I have to turn it off for a few and then back on. Does this sound like a vacuum leak, or would that make it stay at defrost?

 

i have the exact same problem in my 2005 fx4. what did you end up having to do to fix yours?

 

same problem, ford diagnosed it as an actuator problem #19E616. $190 later didn't fix the problem.i find when i run the AC on vents then try to switch to defrost it won't switch, not without screwing with it for 5 minutes. think it's vacuum related cause if you try the defrost after you've turned off the motor it makes a grinding noise then switches right away. going back to ford in a couple of days,not paying for the actuator if that isn't the problem! i lived with this problem for 3 years enough is enough.

 

our series of trucks don't run on vacuum. so your looking at above part or blend door assy. almost a couple bills for part and 7 hours. stealership $190 for actuator $918 for blend door assembly.
