2002 Explorer 4x4 Blend Door
Does anybody have a picture of what the blend air door motor/actuator looks like? I'm trying to save myself $600 in labor and do this myself. I've talked with the Ford dealership and they said that this part is accessible through the glove box, but without a picture of the part I have no clue what I'm looking for.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Look at Ebay item #150100651864. That's a BDA for an earlier Explorer, yours will be very similar.
It can be accessed through the glove box, BUT the problem often isn't the Actuator itself. It's the pivot broken on the blend door. This means pulling the instrument panel. It's possible that the blend door was redesigned by 2002, I don't know for sure.

Figured out the problem! Wasn't the blend door after all. The fuel pressure regulator was bad, it was leaking gas into the vacuum line causing the vacuum to quit. I pulled the main vacuum line and gas dripped out. Replacing the regulator solved that plus it got rid of the gas smell in my car and the codes for a bad EGR valve and EVAP went away. Woohoo!!
