Blend door actuator?

Hi,

I'm glad to see that you reposted. LOL As far as your questions are concerned, there are two actuators. One controls the driver's side and the other is for the passenger side. If you look at pic 1 below, number 16 is the driver's side and 17 is for the passenger side.

I am basing this on you having automatic climate control. If you don't, let me know.

Pic 2 are the directions for replacement. You will need to remove the glove box to gain access to the actuator.

The last three pics are removal of the glove box, and I highlighted the heater duct that will need removed.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below.

Is the actuator part identical for driver and passenger? Don’t want to mistakenly purchase the wrong side part. If you know the part number, that would be fantastic!

Hi,

Believe it or not, it is showing two different part numbers. The only difference in the number is the last letter. Ugh!!! (See pic below) Also, the price is different as well. Keep in mind, the prices you see are original equipment parts. You should find them for much less. My only suggestion is not to purchase the least expensive thing you can find online. In most cases, they usually don't work or last about a week.

Take care and let me know how things turn out.

Do you have detailed instructions for removing the glovebox?

Hi,

I do, if you look below, they are attached. Note, it will indicate the removal of lower screws. It can be a little difficult to see if you aren't at the correct angle.

Let me know if this helps.

How does the side panel pop off?

Hi,

That is held on with clips. The reason the directions indicate using a suitable tool is that they don't want to be responsible if you scratch it. LOL

I use a flat screwdriver to get it started. I cover the screwdriver with a soft cloth and gently pry out on one end of the panel. Once it comes out far enough, grab it with your fingers and gently remove it.

Let me know if you get it.

Take care,

How does this come off?

Hi,

The dashboard side panel is clipped in place. Take a flat screwdriver and cover it with a soft cloth. Then, gently pry the cover off.

As far as the duct in your last pic, it is clipped in place as well. I don't recall there being any screws. See pic below.

Let me know if you get them off.

Take care,

Joe

Thanks. I got the side panel off previously with a cloth covered flat screwdriver. Got the glove box removed. Found where the actuator is but can’t get the screws out because the passenger floor duct is in the way. Does that unclip from above? I could not locate it.

Hi,

For whatever reason, there are no directions in the manual. From memory, there are three clips. See pic below. Once they are detached, the duct should pull away from the distribution box. Actually, there may be just one clip.

Let me know if you have any luck.
