  Q: How to Service the Air Inlet Blend Door Actuator on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: Lowering the glove compartment should be the first step before servicing the air inlet door actuator. The first step requires working on the air inlet mode door actuator electrical connector to detach it. The service of the air inlet mode door actuator requires its complete removal. When finishing the installation process users should start by performing the steps of removal in reverse order.

  Q: How to service and repair the upper intake manifold on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: The first step for upper intake manifold maintenance requires you to disconnect the grounding cable of the battery. Service the upper intake manifold by first removing the air cleaner outlet pipe and afterward removing the transaxle roll restrictor cross brace bolt between the four bolts and finally removing the brace itself. The team needs to disconnect the evaporative emissions (EVAP) canister purge valve tube from the upper intake manifold and discard the retaining device. Service of the upper intake manifold starts with PCV tube removal while simultaneously detaching the brake booster and vacuum harness tubes and the fuel tube retainer. Disconnect the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system module electrical connector while removing the vacuum tube and then separate the vacuum tube from the upper intake manifold vacuum tube retainer. Disconnect the EGR system module tube from its connection to the EGR system module and seal both PCV coolant hoses and the vacuum lines (not required for the related article). First detach the throttle body electrical connector while removing the four upper-to-lower intake manifold screws if the vehicle has them. The eight bolts fastening the upper intake manifold need removal before discarding the gaskets. The installation requires cleaning and inspection of all sealing surfaces before positioning the upper intake manifold before bolting it with eight bolts which should be tightened to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) per manufacturer instruction sequence. The installation process requires attaching the throttle body electrical connector as well as plugging and connecting the two PCV coolant hoses with proper torque at 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). Finally, connect and torque tighten the EGR system module tube to its respective module. Installation requires the attachment of the vacuum tube to the upper intake manifold vacuum tube retainer along with connecting the EGR system module electrical connector and vacuum tube followed by fuel tube retainer attachment to the upper intake manifold. The vacuum harness tubes with the brake booster and PCV need attachment to the upper intake manifold. Then attach the EVAP canister purge valve tube followed by installing the appropriate retainer. Begin by cleaning the four transaxle roll restrictor cross brace bolts using a wire brush and apply new threadlock on their threads before placing the transaxle roll restrictor cross brace in position with four new bolts which need to be tightened to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft). A wire brush should be used to clean the transaxle roll restrictor cross brace-to-roll restrictor bolt before applying new threadlock and installing a new bolt that needs to be tightened to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft). After tightening the battery ground cable you should mount the air cleaner outlet pipe.
• Bumper Cover, Front

  Q: How to service and repair the front bumper cover on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: The front bumper service starts with removing both front bumper scrivets and bolts from the Five Hundred and Montego models while tightening bolts to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) during reinstallation. The next step requires removal of three front bumper cover lower retainers along with the six front bumper cover wheel house screws which must be tightened to 2 Nm (18 lb-in) when installing. Before disconnecting the electrical connector check whether fog lamps are installed. A proper front bumper cover removal demands that you first unclip it from the fender through backward bumper cover extension. A thorough inspection should follow removal to check for any damage in the bumper cover mounting reinforcements. Replacement will be necessary if any damage is detected. The completion of installation requires the opposite sequence of bulb removal for placing the replaced parts.
• Cushion Cover, Rear
  5G1Z-5463804-AAA
  Q: How to Service the Seat Cover for the Rear Seat Cushion in the Third Row on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: The first step to service the rear seat cushion cover in the third row involves removing both plastic rivets followed by drawing out the cushion handle from its pocket. An appropriate tool should pry the rivet from under the head while keeping the insert safe from damage. Poking a screw into the rivet head partially followed by extraction will require the use of new plastic rivets for replacement. You should detach the pivot release cable and casing before eliminating the pivot release handle. A suitable tool like a pin-type retainer tool can be used to remove the load floor panel once you pull out its retainers and remove the two screws that secure it at the bottom of each side. Withdraw the screw followed by tab release and floor latch cover removal before discarding it while paying special attention to bench seats which require removal of two floor latch covers. Take care during seat back trim cover hook and loop separation to avoid damaging the foam connection of the strap to the seat. Before reassembly always keep the LATCH and child safety seat tether anchor accessible through the trim cover by removing the cushion trim cover retainers from the cushion frame. The installation requires doing the opposite of what was done during removal.
