• Q: How to Service and Repair the Blend Door Actuator on 2000 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Service repair of the blend door motor begins with disconnecting the battery. Begin the procedure by removing the instrument panel steering column cover followed by the right-hand and left-hand instrument panel lower insulator panels. Unfasten the steering column opening brace by removing its nuts and then extract the brace from its position. Service and repair operations require operators to remove first the steering shaft universal joint and subsequently the RH and LH cowl side trim panels. After unlocking the glove box open it then extract the two center cowl panel support screws. The instrument panel defroster grille needs removal through first unclipping and then disconnecting the connectors before extraction. First you must eliminate the upper moldings from both the RH and LH sides followed by execution of the three instrument panel cowl top screws. The technician should remove the following components to access the instrument panel mix door actuator: the RH instrument panel cowl slide nut then the upper LH instrument panel cowl side nut and finally the lower LH instrument cowl side bolt. Two technicians must move the instrument panel toward the rear before cutting the insulator from around the actuator and disconnecting the connector and removing the screws that hold the electronic blend door actuator in place. The first step of installation involves attaching the electronic blend door actuator followed by connector connection. Two technicians must help in reattaching the instrument panel after the insulator has been taped into position. The technician must install the lower LH instrument panel cowl side bolt as well as the upper LH instrument panel cowl side nut and the RH instrument panel cowl side nut. Begin with installing the RH instrument panel cowl top screws followed by positioning the instrument panel defroster opening before connecting the connectors and installing the defroster grille opening. Access the opening in the glove box through its door to secure both center support screws before installing the left and right cowl side trims. Complete the installation by adding the instrument panel steering column cover and instrument panel lower insulator panels for the RH and LH side as well as the instrument panel tunnel brace and connecting the steering shaft universal joint.
