Product Details

Description

This is a genuine OEM Ford Center Dashboard Left Side A/C Air Vent Louver Grille Assembly removed from a running donor vehicle. Finished in its factory-original matte black finish with silver accent adjustment tab and carrying exact OEM part sequence CJ54-S014L21, this primary interior air outlet is an ideal direct physical and mechanical drop-in replacement to instantly resolve common interior dash issues including broken direction adjustment slats, loose thumbwheel air shut-off controls, cracked outer housing trim, or missing airflow direction clips.

As an authentic factory-original component, this air vent assembly features factory-molded retaining clips and alignment tracks designed to snap securely into your Escape's center stack dashboard frame. Opting for a genuine Ford OEM vent maintains exact ducting seal alignment, original interior color and grain match, and smooth directional louver movement. Every louver blade, directional adjustment tab, and airflow shut-off thumbwheel on this assembly has been fully bench-tested and operates properly.

Vehicle Compatibility

Please precisely verify your original vent's part number molded on the back and location before purchasing. This center left AC air vent fits:

• Ford Escape SUV (S, SE, Titanium, SEL - 1.6L, 2.0L, 2.5L): 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016

• Application Warning: Designed specifically for 2013–2016 Ford Escape models for the Center Dashboard Left position (located to the immediate left of the radio/display screen). It will NOT fit the outer far-left driver-side window vent, nor will it fit 2017+ facelifted models due to different dash trim profiles. Always confirm matching base engineering part number CJ54-S014L21 stamped on the housing prior to ordering.

Important Installation Information

• Direct Mechanical Snap-In Integration: Replacing this center dash AC vent requires basic hand tools or plastic interior trim tools. Carefully unclip the surrounding center display/radio trim bezel to access the vent unit, disengage the retaining side clips holding the vent in the dash housing, slide the old unit forward out of the duct connection, align the replacement vent into place, push firmly until it snaps into the ductwork, and re-snap the dash trim bezel back on.

Key Features

• Fully Tested Directional Louvers: Horizontal and vertical air direction slats move together smoothly across the full range without sticking or floppy linkage.

• Functional Air Shut-Off Dial: Integrated thumbwheel wheel opens and seals internal airflow door cleanly.

• Intact Structural Retaining Clips: Molded plastic housing, side locking tabs, and duct connection flange are solid and free of broken tabs or cracks.

• Crisp Cosmetic Trim: Slat faceplate and silver chrome accent tab are clean and free of heavy scuffs, sticky residue, or faded surfaces.

Shipping & Handling

• Packaging: Shipped securely inside a thick, heavy-duty structural box surrounded by soft foam and thick bubble wrap to isolate the delicate louver slats, side mounting tabs, and thumbwheel control from transit damage.
