2006 Mercury Mariner Blend Door Actuator Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the auxiliary temperature blend door actuator and auxiliary mode door actuator on 2006 Mercury Mariner?

  A: Start the repair process of auxiliary temperature blend door actuator and auxiliary mode door actuator by placing the vehicle in neutral position on a hoist. The process requires removal of two auxiliary line floorpan bracket nuts with final tightening torque set to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). The LH D-pillar trim panel removal will occur while its bracket stays firmly attached to the vehicle. The sealing duct requires you to tighten high voltage traction battery screws first before installation. First detach the battery airflow duct assembly by eliminating its four screws, one pin-type retainer along with its screw, and tighten each screw to 12 Nm (18 lb-in) before installation. The installation should include tightening the two auxiliary climate control fresh air inlet duct nuts to 7 Nm (62 lb-in). Unfasten the two auxiliary climate control housing bolts by torqueing them to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) on the installation step. To remove the D-pillar bracket first detach the pin-type retainer and then unfasten the upper retainer with bolt. Position the auxiliary climate control housing slightly out of the way to expose the screws which are attached to the auxiliary airflow mode door actuator. Remove the electrical connector of this actuator before gaining access to the screws. When installing the auxiliary airflow mode door actuator remove the screws and disconnect the rod which should be tightened to 2 Nm (18 lb-in) during this process. When handling the auxiliary airflow mode door actuator for removal ensure the auxiliary climate control housing will go behind the lower D-pillar bracket section with the mounting bolt inserted into the bracket first. The installation of D-pillar trim panel and LH quarter trim panel must follow a verification step where the TBCM self-test examines the auxiliary mode door actuator operation and its visual function. Conclusion of the operation demands a return of all steps in the opposite order for complete reinstallation.
