In the 2015 Ford Escape, the blend door actuator is located next to the blower motor inside the heater box. This actuator is a small electric motor with sensors that are connected to the car's climate control system. When you adjust the temperature or airflow, the signals pass through the actuator. Symptoms of a faulty blend door actuator can include hearing a ticking noise from the dashboard when you start the car or experiencing cold air from the heater or hot air from the AC. A common cause of actuator failure is the fragility of the plastic gear set, which can break over time.
The location of the blend door actuator for a 2015 Ford Escape is on the heater box near the blower motor. It can be easily accessed without having to take out the dashboard.
