Hello, I have the vehicle listed above Koup and every time I turn my A/C system on I hear a knocking noise for a couple of seconds and then stops. However, this does not occur when turning on the heat, just the cool air. So, I am unsure of what blend motor actuator I need to change and where they are located on my vehicle.

Hi,

It sounds like the plastic gear in the actuator motor is failing. If you look below, I attached the directions specific to your vehicle for replacing it.

Additionally, here is a link that explains in general how it's done. You may find it helpful to look over it prior to starting the job.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,
