Mercury Mountaineer Problem
Model Years Affected: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010

A failed heater blend door or actuator can cause the temperature control for the HVAC system to stop working. A clicking sound from the dash area would commonly indicate an actuator fault. If the heater gets stuck on the hottest setting, the heater blend door may be broken requiring replacement of the heater box to repair the issue.

first there was a clicking sound, then the heat was stuck on the hottest setting. have called around town and its looking like $340 plus to fix. This is a very common problem with Fords. If the company knows this, they should fix it for free or discount a repair at the dealership. why keep making cars that are gonna have the same problem.

clicking when changing to heat, as far as I can tell the blend door actuator gear must have some stripped out teeth on it. The actuater being replaced should fix the problem.

Mine was stuck on heat-no AC-bought aftermarket blend door online-after taking dash out found orig OK, but actuator motor broken.bought one at a national parts place, it wouldn't work, took to shop they replace w/ford actuator-now works, but knob to regulate air flow does not work, will cost another $600 to repair-don't have the $$ to do so
