I work in a repair shop and we have don't it in a 97 Taurus also.NOTE: It is not required to install the new LH temperature blend door linkage parts included in the LH temperature blend door actuator service part kit if only the temperature blend door actuator requires replacement and the linkage parts are not broken or binding. Try replacing the synchronizer assembly that is under the camshaft position sensor.
Now I know why it would overheat - not a lot of water was circulating without any vanes. THERE WERE NO VANES ON THE PUMP!!!!! It looked like a little waffle on a stick. When I got back to the garage, he showed me the pump. I then came to this site and decided to have the water pump replaced. We got it home from New Orleans to Jacksonville, FL by adding water every two or three hundred miles. I had the hose assembly replaced, but the car started overheating when the engine speed was low, as in traffic. Then a couple of weeks ago the "tee" for the heater bypass hose sprang a leak. My 99 stopped mixing about 6 months ago with 94,000 miles. make the air warmer and cooler with the mixer knob) it may not be the valve. If you mean that you can't mix the air (i.e. There are plastic gears inside that wear out and electrical stuff that breaks down and dies. It is a motorized device built by human beings. Costs about $15, and the repair instructions can be found online (doesn't look too difficult with the ashtray & bracket removed) The blend door actuator / motor is a rather common failure. As a stopgap, you can short circuit the coolant flow through the heater core and run in AC only mode for the summer. We have the Taurus on our development list at HeaterTreater and will have a simple cheap solution available this summer. The net effect is a broken blend door and loss of control over temperature control. The motor has the characteristic of over stressing the plastic blend doors when it goes through a periodic calibration routine. On a 99 Taurus, the blend door is controlled by an electric motor and this same motor module is used on multiple Ford products. Good luck on your thorough investigation !.BB I'm not a mechanic, but I am a consumer who, like others, have been pinched before. It is paramount that we find reputable and thorough mechanics. Hopefully, the heater core needed replacing, and the heater control valve was'NT the problem all along. It sounds like the control cable for the heater control valve may have slipped position, is now binding, or, that valve is partially blocked. The dealer solution to replacing the door is complicated and expensive. 1) a block heater core and 2) broken blend door. If you pull the motor, you can examine the axle connector to the blend door and physically verify if it is broken. It is difficult to remove the lever system without breaking it.
Additionally there is a miki-mauz lever system connected to the motor that controls the backside radiant heat door over the heater core. There is a metal cover held on with two screws and three additional screws that hold the motor in place. Access to the motor is trying, but not difficult. If you fully open the glove box, you can see the actuator motor in the far left hand side of the heater box. The blend door on the Taurus is on a horizontal axis running from the front to back of the car. Pictures and diagnostic procedures are available at. The blend door actuator motor is on the front side of the box and can be seen by fulling opening the glove box and looking to the left over the transmission tunnel. Many times when cores are replaced the person forgets to reconnect the mix controls or breaks the connection unwittingly.
Sometimes you can get at the controls from the outside of the heater but you may have to open the heater to repair the mix door. The air mix door is malfunctioning or the controls are disconnected and allowing too much outside air to enter the cab. It is also possible that you have an electrical problem in the heater blend door motor control circuit. The solution is to replace the door with a revised door.
Sometimes it would get warped and start hanging up. It works together with the blend door itself. We also had problems with something in the heater box called a secondary stratification door. But your problem may not be limited to the temp blend door motor.
