Hi - been fixing LOTS of stuff on a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge I just picked up last December. It is an automatic, 3.0l 2WD, regular cab.
I am trying to determine if the blend door system is functioning. A/C isn't getting as cold as it should, new compressor and system is charged. I can see the actuator DOES move when temp control is adjusted, but my actuator doesn't look like ANY OTHERS I have seen in my searching/research. It doesn't look like the same part when looking up a new actuator either? I am wondering if the unit in my truck is from an older or newer application? I really need some guidance here to determine what I have and what I need to do to see if the blend door is actually moving.
The picture below is what I think is the blend door actuator on my truck. It DOES NOT have an electronic plug like others have described in my searches. The FORD part number stamped on my actuator is YL5H-19E871-AC. When I search that part number, it comes up as the electronic replacement that others describe in their help articles, but mine doesn't look like those? I have included a picture of my actuator sitting on top of a white towel, thought it would be easier to see.
If anyone can give me a push in the right direction to help me determine what I have and how I should proceed, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks so much - greast - chuckw
