Thanks so much for sharing this video….so helpful!!!!!! I have a 2004 Taco and intend it make it last forever. 🤣 I have a squeek/clicking noise behind the glove box and I assume from your video that it is the Blend Door actuator. Thanks again for taking the time to show us what’s what!!!!
Thank you sir for getting to the point got the same problem on my 04 also blower motor went out today got new parts today now just got to fix it. Thanks for the help.
I miss the days of cable actuated blend doors. Now they install servo motors so when they fail, you get to buy a new one and either try to fix it yourself or pay someone to do it. And they said Toyotas all you have to do is put gas in them.and change the oil and they'll run forever. HA!!!😂
At least Toyota makes it accessible. In Nissan Titans you literally have to remove the entire console and dash. It's about a $1000 job to replace a $15 part. I actually made a video about it.
Sounds like it could be this same issue because it sounds like it could be stuck in defrost. Is air coming out the top of the dashboard at your windshield?
I am having problems with my heater and A/C no working (blowing enough heat air and cold air) i checked the water valve in the engine compartment and it is good, not restricted or plugged. I checked the actuating cable from the valve to down in the cabin and to where it connects but that thing is on the passenger side. I was thinking that it is some kind of motor that actuates the flappers in the duct system. I will check that "mode actuator" you showed, is that the correct name for the part in case i need to order it? Thank you. Good video
My 03 Taco when the temp/ ac selector is in the ac mode it makes a gurgling sound behind the dash. When switched to heat, it stops . Not sure if you had the same experience with your temp control actuator. Thanks.
My middle knob works but the servo motor gets stuck and I have to go under my hood and manually change it to cool or heat. I have changed the servo motor would know what else to try?
How did you checked the blend actuator? I think my problem is the blend actuator. But i don't know if i can change it. I will have to check both. Thank you for uploading the video.
@@SDsailor7 do you know what I found out what was wrong with mine? The Actual knob that controls the temperature was cracked and compromised and could not turn the brass stem that adjusts the temperature… after removing the actuator and driving to the auto parts store to purchase it .. I just had to glue the knob together and the dial works perfectly fine.
The digital clock comes with the truck. I have a 2004 Tacoma and I can't see mine because the right control arm (windshield wiper) on the steering column blocks it.
@@jeffro1200 Hi Jeff, My problem is no outside air coming in i only get warm air and when i turn on my AC i do get cold air but not enough cold due to the heating air coming in. So could my problem be the mode actuator? was that the problem you where having? i am going to check the blend air actuator motor on the passenger side to make sure it is working and i am also going to check the mode actuator motor like you described and if that is the problem i will look for it online i imagine it will be very pricey at the dealer. Thank you for the great video! very informative.
@@jeffro1200 Thank you for replying back. I will check the operation of both and see which one is the problem. Hope i can fix it. The truck has a lot of miles on it and everything is starting to break on it except the motor. Cheers
I had the same problem. I located the actuator. Pushed in the white wire harness to make sure it was seated, jiggled the wires and sure enough the light on the ac button lit, turned on the ac and ahhhhhh nice cold air.
@@jeffro1200 Ah ok. Well thank you for the reply i guess i will have to look somewhere else if that is the problem, tomorrow i am going to check the blend actuator make sure the motor is working.

So glad you filmed this in a wind tunnel lol
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HRS 😢😂
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you
Thank you sir for getting to the point got the same problem on my 04 also blower motor went out today got new parts today now just got to fix it. Thanks for the help.
What’s up Kenneth, I have a 2004 tacoma and the hot air works but I do not get cold air, where did you order the part from?
Thanks
Thanks for your helpful video. Did you buy the replacement part from the dealer or from some other supplier?
@@johnridings3291 I just found one on eBay
Great video
Sorry for the poor sound quality, I didn't realize until after filming that the air blowing from the vents was causing poor sound quality. Whoops.

I have a 2004 toyota tacoma that's not blowing air from the central vents. Do you have any idea on how to fix this?
Sounds like it could be this same issue because it sounds like it could be stuck in defrost. Is air coming out the top of the dashboard at your windshield?
Mine doesn’t the same thing. Be great if you can let us know if changing it fixed the problem.
Mario did you changed that part yet? If so was that the issue?

Good video
what about if there no air coming out the vents at all?
My 03 Taco when the temp/ ac selector is in the ac mode it makes a gurgling sound behind the dash. When switched to heat, it stops . Not sure if you had the same experience with your temp control actuator. Thanks.
Mines doing the same thing did you ever find the fix?

That’s my problem to the blend actuator. When I turn on the AC blows cold air in hot air simultaneously.
@@taibiservent I replaced the component to take care of the problem.

I have a placed that mode activator still doing the same
Mine is also a 2002 toyota prerunner.
I like the digital clock, where can I get one?
The digital clock comes with the truck. I have a 2004 Tacoma and I can't see mine because the right control arm (windshield wiper) on the steering column blocks it.
I have a 2003 and the modes work but the ac button and recirculate button don’t work what can I do for it
Same for me too did you find a fix ?
thanks your i find one i eBay
Did that fix it I have a 03 same thing ac works but button doesn’t work and no cold air
Thanks for posting! I have an 01, and this is my problem. What was the model number of the Mode Actuator, and where did you purchase? Thanks again!
If you pause the video around 1:57 you can see the model number, it's just upside-down. I found it on eBay.

@@SDsailor7 It sounds like your problem would be the blend air actuator then on the passenger side.

hey can you help my a/c work but the a/c butter light not working can you help me
I had the same problem. I located the actuator. Pushed in the white wire harness to make sure it was seated, jiggled the wires and sure enough the light on the ac button lit, turned on the ac and ahhhhhh nice cold air.
where can I find a ac actuator for my 2002 Toyota Tacoma at i can't find one place let me know something thanks your
I found it on eBay. You can also try calling around to some junk yards.
@@jeffro1200 Do they sell the mode acturator at the dealer or auto parts?
Thank you
@@SDsailor7 I know they sell them at the dealer for more recent models but not an 01-04.
@@jeffro1200 Ah ok.
Well thank you for the reply i guess i will have to look somewhere else if that is the problem, tomorrow i am going to check the blend actuator make sure the motor is working.
Lol so to test it but a new one first
