HVAC door actuator

Okay, which actuator is it ? Re circulation temperature door mode door? Let me know so I can get you the correct information.

The actuator that is behind the glove box. I believe is the mode door actuator

That sounds like the recirculation actuator turn the recirculation on and off and see if the noise changes?

I tried that this morning. I turned it off for 5 minutes and turned it back on and it continues to make the same knocking sound.

Have you tried the other controls to see if the noise changes temp control or where the air flow goes?

The only time it will start making noise is when I turn on the car, switch the AC on and off, when I switch to max AC

Max a.c. turns the recirculation on sounds like a bad recirculation actuator

It's the one located directly behind the glove box. I can look underneath and see it jumping when it makes the noise

Here's a video of the actuator jumping in place and I'm recording direct where the passanger feet would be in the very back behind the glove box

I checked to make sure it was properly secured and all the screws are tight. I think there's a gear on the inside of the actuator that is striped.

Yes it is stripped nice work on the video.

Here are the diagrams you requested. (below)

Here is a guide that will give you an idea of what you are in for when changing the actuator motor out.

Hold off till I check my online repair information at work on your actuator.

That's the recirculation actuator I posted a picture is that what you're looks like?

Looks just like it. I ordered the part for the repair and it also looks just like that

Who did you get it from?

I ordered the part from AutoZone

How much was it?

$38 with a lifetime warrantly. It didn't take me longer than 15 minutes to fix. I removed the glove box in one piece. It was fixed by clips. Then unscrewed the 2 screws and fastened the new one. Now it's working like a champ!! Thanks guys for your help.

Nice work, we are here to help, please use 2CarPros anytime.

Glad to hear you got it fixed great pics of the inside of the broken one shows what happens when they fail.Please tell all your friends about us.

I’m having basically the same issue with my 15’ Fiesta se. I was having the clicking sound a few months ago but it stopped. Now I only have heat. It makes no difference what temperature I set the climate control to it blows hot air.

Please include your vehicle information and if you have the manual heater controls (turn a dial for temp) or the automatic (set a desired temp and it does the rest) system.
In both cases the temperature control actuator is between the firewall and heater core so the dash has to be removed the cooling system drained and the A/C recovered then the HVAC case removed to get to it.
