I'm having following errors for my Explorer 2013 XLT

B11E3:07 - Rear HVAC Damper Motor: Mechanical Failure
B1B7D:11 - Rear Air Distribution Actuator: circuit short to ground

I can smell odors from outside in the car when air recirculation is on.

Here is what is said about the trouble codes:

B11E3:07 - Rear HVAC Damper Motor: Mechanical Failure:

B1B7D:11 - Rear Air Distribution Actuator: Circuit Short to Ground:

So, it sounds like the rear HVAC actuator is shorted out or the wiring is rubbed through and is touching ground which is more unlikely. Here is how to get the actuator so you can replace it or check the wiring. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
