2002 ford explorer - i am not able to use the heat. when i turn it on all i get is a clicking noise and no heat. i can use my air conditioner but that is all. i would like to get this fixed. is it something i can fix myself fairly easily ? or would i have to put it in a shop?

The b;end door is most likely stuck it is controlled by a vacuum servo an air line may have come loose remove the radio and open the glove box fully for checking the vacuum lines

I had the same problem with my ford, it turned out to be a door in the dash that switched between heat and a/c, the clicking noise is the gears flaping the door but not being able to open, if your heat works fine but not a/c this is the problem. BTW this part is very hard to get to without removing your dash.

The clicking noise you hear is a stripped out plastic gear from the blend air door motor almost every car maker now uses little electric motors to control heater door panels,put it in the position for it to make noise go under your dash find where it is usually externally mounted remove it and replace it cost about 30 dollars at the dealer.depending on which of the 3 motors its is usually not hard to do.

I have and 2002 with rear air and had the same noise and problem in the back. There is motor in the back that moves a flapper door open and closed to blend the hot and cold. The motor has plastic gears in it and they strip out making a clicking noise when the motor cannot hit the point that the heat control dial is being set too. Probably the same set under the front dash. You will more than likely need to by a new motor assy.

It sounds like blower motor has failed. Motor is located behind glove box on lower part of heater box.

check raqd level before you do anything else,then if thats ok and hot water in the feed pipes ,then you have a problem with the flaps on the heatert unit ,if so check the vacumn feed pipe from the engine in case its split of broke off

yes there is a blend air door that mixes a/c with the heated air and it sounds like it is out of adjustment the other thing is the heater core could be plugged

no recalls, it's probably the cage on your blower motor, either its broke or there is something in there...i.e..rodents

blendor actuators have issue with the plastic gears inside geting striped out. listen for poping or clicking noise when turning temp control if you hear the noise you need a blendor actuator.

The clicking is the air temperature blend door motor, most likely the motor will have to be replaced the blend door checked to make sure it moves freely, this repair requires the removal of the dash assembly.
