Hello again,

I have included the information that you requested in the diagrams down below. The installation process is going to be the reverse of the removal process. Please make sure that the negative battery terminal is taken off of the battery for at least one hour, to be safe, so as not to deploy the airbags accidentally, and use care when working around them. Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,

Most likely a bad Blend door actuator in the dash.

Good afternoon,

When you command heat and cool, can you hear the mode door move inside the dash?

It could also be a clogged heater core.

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. See: Battery > Service and Repair
2. Remove the instrument panel.
3. Remove the three screws (1) that secure the blend door actuator (2) to the top of the HVAC housing (3).
4. Disconnect the HVAC wire harness connector (4) from the blend door actuator.
5. Remove the blend door actuator from the HVAC housing.

In some cases, it may be possible to access and replace the actuator motor for the inside/outside air door in a 2005 Dodge Dakota without removing the entire dashboard. Here's an alternative method you can try:

Start by locating the actuator motor. It is typically located behind the center console or under the dash on the passenger side. It may be necessary to remove some panels or covers to access it.

Once you have located the actuator motor, disconnect the electrical connector that connects to it. This will ensure that there is no power going to the motor during the replacement process.

Next, remove the mounting screws or bolts that secure the actuator motor in place. Take note of the exact position and orientation of the motor before removing it to make the reinstallation easier.

Carefully maneuver the actuator motor out of its mounting position. You may need to rotate or angle it to remove it from its tight fit. Be mindful of any surrounding components to avoid damaging them.

Install the new actuator motor in the same position and orientation as the old one. Make sure it is securely mounted and aligned properly.

Reattach the mounting screws or bolts to secure the new actuator motor in place.

Reconnect the electrical connector to provide power to the motor.

Test the functionality of the new actuator motor by operating the inside/outside air door controls and ensuring that the air distribution functions as intended.

If you can take a picture and upload it in your reply so we can see what you are talking about it will help. Here are some diagrams to help you see what you are in for.

Okay, looks as if I may have looked at an incorrect schematic. Ken has some good information up look at that.

Hello
I have below the instructions on removal of the blend door actuator and the heater control. The blend door actuator is located on top of the HVAC housing which is inside the dash.

Hope this helps.
Thanks for using 2carpros.com!

Dunno the cost it varies with location-could be the air blend door, the only way to find out is to open it up and inspect all the doors
