Blend door actuators?

Good afternoon,

I attached a picture for you to view. The actuator, which is a common failure, is under the dash that controls the mode door operation.

Well there it goes. Lol so anyways thank you for the information and photo. The dealer contacted me and said it’s a safety hazard. So there fixing it for free. But I’m sure all that information will help in the future and all the other people having similar problems.

Your welcome.

Always glad to help

I am looking for locations of the blend door actuator under the dash. I have changed both the ones on the floorboard area on the driver and passenger side.
I appreciate any help!

if you replaced on e on bottom and one on driver side that is for left hand side and mode- meaning direction. the right hand side is on top and normally requires dash to be pulled to access it.

My AC and heat only blow through my vents. I can control everything else but where it comes out of. Is that what needs to be replaced and if so where is it located?

Good afternoon, I attached the picture and procedure for you. It is under the dash on the left side of the heater case. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Are there four actuator's ? There is a diagram on your sight that shows four actuator's I wanted to make sure this is correct. Thank you for your time.

If you have dual temperature controls there are two blend door actuators.

If your talking about the other actuators as well you have a recirculation actuator and a mode door actuator.

I have dual temperature control. Where are the two actuator's located ? Thank you again.

There both bad? That is highly unusual that they both would fail at the same time. What is the issue your having?

Here is the location of all 4 actuators,

Replaced failed blend door motor. motor only operates in one direction and will not move again no matter where temperature control for left side is set. I may not have the proper initialization instructions. Left side blows cold air only, no warm air selection.

did you check to see if you could move the door freely before installing the new one to be sure there is not an obstruction??

Roy

both defrost lever and blend door (white) control move freely.

hook up the motor out of the dash and see if it moves both directions on command.

Roy

it may be on the bottom of hvac on or center by pass side there are two different types of hvac Delphi and Visteon so they may be a little different..

Changed the blend door actuator below the glove box but I still get hot air on one side and cold air on the other. Not sure what the issue is.

Hi MCGML,

Do you have dual temperature zones? Meaning can you adjust the driver and passenger side to different temperatures? Also, which side is not correct for the temperature selected? When set to cold which blows hot?

I am assuming you have dual temperature zone because this would make the most sense. If so, you have two air temperature door actuators. One for each side.

Let me know and we can go from there. Thanks

need to know how to put the actuator and the piece behind it back on the vehicle. This is the actuator that opens and closes all the doors to route the air to floor, defrost, in your face, etc. replaced actuator but didn't get the other piece in correctly. only have air to defrost and in your face.

it may have to be retimed I thikit's the mode one you are talking about it has to be put back in as an assembly. the dash should have pbeen pulled as well. you have to line up the levers with the cam slot and mode actuator cam
