- It is getting cold out! And if the defrost isn't working in your 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 Honda Accord now is the time to get it diagnosed and fixed.
In our part 1 of 2 video we confirmed the HVAC controls are working but the defrost was still not blowing hot air, so we are diagnosing and replacing the Heater Air Mode Blend Door Actuator in this video.

Excellent video! For all who have these era Accords note there's this "air blend" actuator Part# 79160-S84-A01 that redirects the air (via defrost or floor air flow) depending on button selection as well as a "temperature mode" assembly Part# 79140-S84-A01 if your temperature select dial on the dash isn't changing the temperature coming out of the vents when you turn it.
Thank you!! My mom's 98 Accord has this issue. She turns 25 this month. Near mint, but this is a big problem. Ordering the part & subscribing!
BTW: it's the exact same car & color (int & ext)! "Old Bessie" 123K miles.
You always see this type of comment but this one really does deserve the title of Best Auto How-To Video ever! Showed two blends doors, the all important correct part names (like A..z.n calls that part incorrectly the blend door), how to fight the plastic part off without breaking and even the PITA screws to get out and sizes. Gonna subscribe!
Thanks for the kind words we do appreciate it, and this is exactly why we made the video (because so many other ones are half baked and not very well done/informed) 😁 Thank you for Subscribing as well!
Thank you for these instructions. I will be performing this fix action very soon, and your video told me everything I needed to know.
Thanks we really appreciate it 😊 Thanks for watching and Subscribing!
So well explained that a 5 year old can do it!! Thank you!! I know how to solve my problem now!!!
Glad to hear we could help! 😁
Thank you for this video. Saves me the time of taking things apart looking for it when I know exactly where to look thanks to you
You bet! That's exactly why we made it ☺️
Nice job. Very informative and well demonstrated for a fairly complicated procedure.
Thanks for watching and commenting we do appreciate it!
Very informative and you made it look easy. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching and Subscribing!
Thank you ,took no time with your video
great video. was wondering about the rods but whole assembly comes off. thanks.
…mmm🤔… HOLY CATS … Thank You very much ! That Honda oem part cost $224.29 but I’m sure that you saved me $300 in labor costs and $100 for a rental car if I took it to a shop …😘
Thanks for watching and Subscribing! That's why we made the video so glad to hear you got it replaced and have working defrost now too ☺️
@@freshvintage i forgot to add in .... I went to the junk yard and bought that part for $18 dollars ! thank God you had mentioned to use a socket wrench for that screw in the back - it would be near impossible to get a screw driver on it ! I did remove my drivers seat to gain an easier way to remove my old one and install the new part
This helped tremendously thank you for a great video
You bet that's why we made it! 😊
Thank you for this video
Folks save yourself some money I have a 99 accord with the exact same issue just disconnect the green plug spray Deoxit on it reinstall connector problem fixed. It’s like 200$ for a new part from Honda nowadays . Hope this helps . Artie
Really great video. Only question i have is how did you contort your body to get under there to do the work?
We needed to see our chiropractor after finishing fixing the car and making this video 😂 Thanks for watching and subscribing! 😊
Done that
Hey Jay, I appreciate your video on this situation! My dilemma is different with my 1999 Accord EX. The mode door actuator is functioning in all modes (can hear it turn). When I turn on defrost or floor/defrost, after about a minute or so it will automatically switch over to body/floor vent and also recirculate. I cannot switch it back!! 🤔 I have also tried unhooking the battery just to see if that would work and it doesn’t. Any ideas what this could be? Will be difficult commuting this time of year without defrost! Thanks in advance Jay! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching! A few things we thought of here:
Have you stuck your head under the driver's side of the dash to actually watch the actuator move? Those rods shouldn't but sometimes can get stuck.
Also do the lights above your HVAC buttons light up? The board that controls the buttons is the "brain" of the operation so to speak - this can go bad and people actually rebuild them (we found a fully remanned unit with certification stickers that it was rebuilt on it at our local Pick & Save for this Accord while hunting for parts). Let us know how you make out! 💯
Good video thank you
Thanks for watching and Subscribing! We hope this helped with your Accord ☺️
I was shopping for the part and it seems there are 2 one to control the Cool/heat and one to control the mode.
Is this true? 98 Accord here
Hello thank you for watching and subscribing! You are correct there is a module that controls the temperature, and one that controls the actual blend door.
@@freshvintage thanks, ended up manually moving blend door, now I have ac in the summer while I save up for the parts.
May I ask what stereo replacement you've got there? I 8do miss CarPlay & backup cam...
Hi there that is a Jensen CAR 710 - great radio! Be sure to check out our video on it as it has a lot of features for the price you pay for it 😊
Will do!@@freshvintage
Your doing the drivers side I need get at my passengers side on my 02 honda acorrd you said you made video on the right side actuator I can't find that video on where it's at does anyone know where darn things at ? I was blowing cold my son turned to hot side heard the door open for hot air but did hear
Turn back for cold I know that's the problem. So does anyone know where located?
Hi there Mark thank you for watching and subscribing! You should be able to see if here - th-cam.com/video/AFfI5wq5nyI/w-d-xo.html
It's on the left under dash
Do you have a video on the blend door a. In the right side that controls hot and cold.
Hello, we do not have a video on this as we started with the head unit to try and replace the buttons, and that didn't work; we then ended up with the mode selector door video which fixed the issue 👍👍
@@freshvintagehow can I get to the blend door on the right please I need to know 😢
What is the part number?
Thanks for watching and Subscribing! We have this part listed in the Description for this video - take a look and let us know of any questions thanks ☺️
