Hello I have a 2007 Impala with the 3.5. The other day my heat was going in and out and now it has completely gone out I have no heat at all but the cars temp will stay normal and not overheat. Both radiator hoses are hot and both heater hoses are hot as well I'm at a loss

Try pulling the hvac fuse inside car it may reset the actuator otherwise the actuator may be bad which you would need to check for power there. There are two one for lh and rh. Rh pictured. If no power scan for codes.

Hello HMAC300. Ok I'm not getting full heat. When I installed the new actuator I had to manually adjust the door or the actuator would slide on l I don't know if the door is fully opening or what. Do I need to reprogram the actuator or reset it or what? Thank you

When the actuator is off the door turns with some force so it doesn't seem like it's broken. I've read some places you need to re calibrate the new actuator with the tech 2

Pulling the hvac fuse inside car with key on and leaving it out for 60 seconds resets all actuators
