I replaced the lower blend door actuator motor. I turned the key to the on position and tried to use the climate control knob to change temperatures so the grooves would line up correctly. nothing is happening. I did notice a yellow and orange wire on the plug that had possibly been pulled out. Would that be the issue?

Hello,

A couple of things, did you disconnect the battery while changing out the actuator?
It is recommended to do so on this vehicle. Also, after the battery gets connected. You will have to turn the key to the on position for about 30 seconds, this will initialize the actuator.
If the actuator does not get initialized properly it may not function.

Also, if you can upload a picture of the wire that you are mentioning. If the actuator does not get power, it will not work for an obvious reason.

I have attached the replacement steps below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
