Some Ford Fiesta owners report experiencing a clicking noise from the Blend Door Actuator along with a lack of airflow through the vents. This issue is commonly associated with various model years, including 2011 and 2017. Owners may find that the Blend Door Actuator needs to be replaced or properly adjusted to resolve the clicking sound. In some instances, the actuator may fail to function correctly, resulting in no airflow despite the clicking noise. Additionally, the problem could stem from a slipping temperature blend door due to a loose or stripped plastic gear, which affects temperature control adjustments. To address these issues, some owners may need to access the Blend Door Actuator by removing the lower kick panel and side rail trim, using tools like a T20/T15 Torx bit to loosen the screws. It is advisable for those facing these problems to seek professional assistance or follow detailed guides for effective inspection and resolution.
