Between 95 & 96 mark VIII

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Rope

Can any body tell me if there any diffrent between a 95 & 96 mark VIII blend door actuator, I can't seam to fine one on my mark VIII according to the discription giving. When I bought my mark VIII on the title it said 96, but when I look on the door it said manufacture 08/95, so it must be a 95.

I'm I right or not about it been a 95.

The 95's and 96's are the same blend door actuator motors. Your car is a 1996 if it says so on the title, the new model year begins in the last few months of the previous year. My 96 was made in November 1995. If you tell the guy at the parts counter that you need a climate control blend door actuator motor for your car he will know exactly what you are talking about. Check out this thread and the diagram by driller shows the unit and it's location:

Hope this helps.

I just replace the dash board but not completely, I think I'll try again later maybe tomorrow, the discription I got is for a difrent year. From what was discribe is total difrent maybe for a later year.

The 97 and 98 is completely different. The 93-96 is a lot easier actually. You have to take out the message center display to get to 2 of the bolts on our cars for the motor. When you pull the message center you will see the motor just to the lower right in the hole.
