Q: How to fix No airflow from specific vents or clicking noise behind dashboard in Ford F-Super Duty?

The cooling system works properly, but only hot air comes out of the air vents, or the air does not change direction, which is often accompanied by a loud "click" from behind the dashboard (error codes e.g. B1081:07, B1080). The cause is broken plastic gears inside the stepper motor controlling the flaps (actuator). Solution: Replacing the damaged motor. According to TSB bulletin 23-2115 for the F series, the repair consists of replacing the cams, generously lubricating the mixer flap bearings, installing a new motor with flocked tape to protect against contamination, and final electronic calibration of the system using a scanner (e.g. FDRS).
