Ford Edge 2007. There is a white plastic piece next to my blower that seems to have broken. I want to do a little research to see if this is something I can tackle or if I need to take it in. I just need a jumping off point and the name of the part would be very helpful. When the green plug is unplugged it’s fine but when I plug it in it makes a horrible clicking noise. I took a picture to show where the blower motor is in reference to the white part I believe snapped. (I’m pointing to the part I need the name of) also if you know what it does that would be great because it doesn’t seem to be affecting anything.

I’m curious, which one did you buy; the blend door actuator or the air inlet/recirculation door actuator?
