Jim Grant's Tech Tips '97 Ford Explorer, Blend Door Problems
Q:
Is
it a common occurrence for the blend doors to break on the 97 Ford
Explorer, and would this possibly be something that could be fixed under
warranty?
A:
Failure
of the heater blend door on Ford Explorers seems to be more common than
it should be. At this time the only warranty provision Im aware
of is under Fords bumper to bumper warranty. The vehicle owner is
pretty much on their own when their vehicle is outside of the warranty
period. Ford has revised/redesigned the heater box assembly a couple of
times to address this problem. When having your vehicle repaired youll
have to replace the complete heater box assembly and be sure that youre
having the latest, most current redesign heater box installed.
