To whoever wanted the article on repair of the blend door without removing the dashboard. The article was printed in an industry newsletter Called the Accumulator published by thhe Automotive Air Group in its March-April 2001 edition. I got it from a pdf file on the net. I'm sorry I do not have the link. Perhaps you could email the editor at snipped-for-privacy@flash.net. While this may be a fix I do not beleive it is permanent or cost effective. You have to buy the box for approx. $125 from Ford in order to get the door. You will also find that the box and its various doors and gears has been redesigned and beefed up to avoid a repetition of the problem. IMO Replacing the door by itself may still not cure the problem and a failure may be down the road again. I had a chance to compare both th old box and the new one when I replaced my blend door and box There are differences. Mine was done February 2003 on a '97 EB.
