• Q: How to Service and Repair an Electronic Blend Door Actuator on 2002 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Service and repair operations of the electronic blend door actuator begin with disconnecting the battery. The service begins by removing the instrument panel steering column cover followed by the right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH) instrument panel lower insulator panels. You need to take out the steering column opening brace after removing all its attachment nuts and the brace. Starting with the disconnect of steering shaft universal joint proceed to remove right-hand side then left-hand side cowl side trim panels. Open the glove box door before removing the two screws attached to the center instrument panel support. The removal starts with unplugging the connectors from the instrument panel defroster grille before extracting the grille. First, detach both RH and LH upper moldings followed by uninstalling the three instrument panel cowl top screws and freeing the RH instrument panel cowl slide nut and upper LH instrument panel cowl side nut and lower LH instrument cowl side bolt. The instrument panel needs repositioning by two technicians while they cut and reposition the insulator to create space from the actuator and disconnect then remove screws from the electronic blend door actuator. To perform the installation put the new electronic blend door actuator into position then establish its connector. Two technicians are necessary to position the instrument panel after insulating it with tape. The installation process requires technicians to bind the lower LH instrument panel cowl side bolt together with the upper LH instrument panel cowl side nut and the RH instrument panel cowl side nut and the RH instrument panel cowl top screws. After positioning the instrument panel defroster opening you should connect all connectors before installing the defroster grille opening. Use the glove box opening to insert the two screws at the panel center. Finish by putting in both LH and RH cowl side trim panels. After reconnecting the steering shaft universal joint you should install the instrument panel tunnel brace followed by the RH and LH instrument panel lower insulator panels until you reach the instrument panel steering column cover.
