Is it a bad thing when your mechanic calls you because he's stumped?
My Taurus won't switch between defrost, vent, and floor. So I bought a new actuator and spent several days inventing new curse words while I tried to replace it. I could get the new actuator on, but it was clocked about 30 degrees off and I couldn't turn it to line up the screws. So I dumped it off on my poor mechanic and he's calling me with the same problem. Any ideas?
Actuators have to be initialized before they work right and if it was plugged in and the key turned on before it was mounted on the box, it's ruined get another.
