Motorcraft - Motor (P) (YH1770)

This actuator did NOT fix the problem...because my actuator was working as directed by the HVAC control panel. I was lucky enough to have another Escape with the exact same Auto-temp HVAC system. I put the new actuator in my '12 Escape the problem (no heat on driver's side) was still there. I removed the actuator and watched as it rotated at what seemed to be somewhat related to my driver's side temp knob. But each time I installed it, it drove the blend door all the way to the coldest positition (no air directed to the heater core). Swapped with the identical car and the NEW actuator worked perfecting. And his working driver's side blend door actuator FAILED in my '12 Escape.Swapped the entire center HVAC control set and my unit failed in the other car and his HVAC control worked in mine. At least I know where the problem is. This actuator is used in three locations in my car so I am keeping it rather than sending it back for a refund. Amazon and Ford are not at fault; it can't fix a problem actuator if your actuator isn't defective.

This fit my 05 Escape Hybrid's battery cooling blend door. With vice grips, a bit set, and plenty of dexterity and patience I swapped this out in like 20 minutes without doing anything but pulling the cargo panel out a little ways. Would have probably been much easier to just do it the right way and remove more to gain easy access but hey, where's the fun in that?

I tried two different Dorman models of this product before I selected this Motorcraft product. They were not configured correctly for my vehicle, even though they indicated that they were. The gears would strip because the gears tried to move the door further than it should. This Motorcraft product was geared correctly and was an exact match for what was originally in the vehicle. 2010 Ford Escape V6 with dual air temperature control. This motor is located on the passenger side under the console and is accessible without removing any additional components.

actuator works great installed easy, hybrid battery cooling wrench light codes gone.

This fixed a transient problem with Ford Escape Hybrid 2007, that was getting intermittant problems with check engine but not storing a code.

My son's Escape had the "Service Soon" message stuck on his dash and we could not figure out what the problem was. A lot of research and a neighbor with a better scan tool than the Ford dealership pulled the code which indicated the B1239 error: rear mode door actuator. It took about two hours to replace following instructions on YouTube and worked perfectly, cleared the code right away.

Fixed the issue, wrench light and error code went away.

The part was just as described, arrived in great shape
