Dude, thank you so much. Great video, precisely my problem in 2011 3500 Mega Cab, now I know what I'm doing tonight to keep busy pending election results. Thanks for great video.
Thank you for this video! The dealer was making it sound like it was a one or two day job to repair this on my truck. It sure looks a lot easier than with the way they were making it sound, I can do this.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Samuel Lucca thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I read a lot of reviews on Amazon about these actuators only working for a few months after install and then breaking again. Is yours still working fine a year later?
Thank you! I have a question if you don't mind. I have a 2014 Ram 2500 with the Cummins and 45k miles. The heat does blow but it's not hot like it should be, kind of mild heat. Could this be the issue? I don't think the truck is old enough or has enough miles to be a heater core. The coolant level is fine. Thank you in advance.
I think you could be having the problem of the blend doors. I was in a mad panic to fix it before it got to cold or my windshield will not defrost durning the winter.
@@TheDaydreamerHustle Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. It was the cabin filter access door behind the glovebox that fell off. If anyone is curious, the two actuator servos for the control of where the hvac is directed are below the radio behind the dash bezel. The blend actuator for hot and cold is behind the glovebox and to the left. That's on a 2014 Ram 2500. Have a good day!
@@clarencerasure6586 If I remember correctly, there are 2 plastic stops on each side that you pull towards the middle of the glovebox. Then it will come forward and you can lift it off the rear hinge and let it dangle from the stop cord. When you put it back together you have to make sure the glovebox snaps over the hinge before closing it.
Just a add I finally did this to my 2011 last week . When I took the 4 screws out it seemed attached in the middle somehow. I pried off the trim piece on the 110 outlet there was another torx screw on there . That was holding it on so I had 5 screws .
That’s good to know thank you. I appreciate you telling me about that because I recently just updated into a 2016 longhorn. It have a few more electronics lol
Looks like you missed the screw behind the trim bezel that goes around the 110v outlet... Was it missing already or did it break off when you pulled the HVAC controls out?
@@TheDaydreamerHustle Has the dealership ever worked on it in the past? You can't believe how many times they will leave that screw out when they put the radio/HVAC bezel back on. Very common!
Good video. I had the same problem on a 2011 Ram 1500 Sport. Only difference is I have an outlet where I needed to remove the trim and remove another screw. I only have one arm so, if I can do it anyone should be able to. Thanks.
Thank you, I have been getting that a lot in the comments about this one screw by the 110 outlet. The previous owner or who ever worked on it before must of missed putting it back. That’s awesome motivation to keep moving forward, I like that. Cheers
My 2011 Dodge 3500 has an issue such as this except after I turn the key to accessories (waiting on the glow plug light) a rapid clattering noise starts after a short pause even with the A/C is in "OFF" position. It may or may not stop upon starting the truck and if it does stop, it blows and directs the air just fine. But if it doesn't stop, it only blows out at the feet. Do you think it's the same issue as shown here?
@@MrBoratWOW,my 2010 Laramie doesn't have a cabin filter,but it does have a cutout where you can install one,there is a kit for that with a removable flap where you cut the plastic out,the flap is made to snap in place after you slide the filter in, I need to install that and 2 actuators behind dash,my blower is working good but not much air through vents,am going to have to clean my evaporator coil fins(they are clogged)
It’s a 2010. Airflow and heat wasn’t coming out of the front defrost vents. it was almost winter time. It was going to be an issue so I had to fix it. There’s apparently another screw by the 110 outlet, mine didn’t have a screw there for some reason I don’t know why. Just watch out for that one.
If you are talking about the one behind the dash on the bottom, then yes. That’s where the bad actuator was for me. I just replaced both because I was already in there.

Thank you that means a lot. I’m glad to help out. It saves people from a big bill at the mechanics
Ate the both the same part numbers?
Yes they are
Thanks I have the same problem. Changed the one behind glove box. That wasn't it. I'll try this next pretty sure this will work
My dash was taken apart before I had it and someone missed a screw by electrical outlet. So there is another screw.
Thank you for this video! The dealer was making it sound like it was a one or two day job to repair this on my truck. It sure looks a lot easier than with the way they were making it sound, I can do this.
I’m glad you found this video helpful. My last truck was a ford and it was a two day job.
I can also attest to this. Made the mistake of paying for it once. Never again. Thanks for the video!

@Samuel Lucca It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
Thank you for this video! I have the same problem but looks like an easy fix
You are welcome
I have the same problem on my 11 2500 thought the whole dash needed to come off. Thanks
If it's the one in the back that fails (they have 4 of em ) then the dash does have to be pulled. That happened to me a while back.
@Juan sanchez That must hurt! I live in Mexico so it only cost me around $200 USD in labor. Took them about 1/2 day to replace the worst two.
I read a lot of reviews on Amazon about these actuators only working for a few months after install and then breaking again. Is yours still working fine a year later?
I sold my truck 4 months ago and it was still working then. I’ve upgraded to a 2016 3500 ram.
Thanks for sharing

I noticed that also. I rewatched the video and noticed his had the screw post mount.
Hey I have a 2019 Ram 2500. The problem exists even in Ram truck up g too 2021 year. Blend door issues.
That’s good to know thank you. I appreciate you telling me about that because I recently just updated into a 2016 longhorn. It have a few more electronics lol

Hey good call on that. It must have been missing already because I when back in my videos there was no screw.
@@TheDaydreamerHustle Has the dealership ever worked on it in the past? You can't believe how many times they will leave that screw out when they put the radio/HVAC bezel back on. Very common!
Where is the screw located? I'm having trouble finding it
Are you having a hard time with the last screw by the 110v outlet?

Does this middle one control the floor/defrost? My floor vents only come out of my defrost. Can’t fix it. Please help anyone.

Yes because when even when I turned my truck off it would still make that noise
Some times when the key was in accessories it would start making noise. It’s the actuator motor broken and just spinning.
Don’t forget to subscribe 😊
Good Video! Should save me a trip to the garage, thanks!
I’m glad it saved you a trip to the garage too. 👍🏻
Fix that leaky exhaust manifold next.... Drivers side is " great" fun to remove...bwahaha
Leaky manifold ? There’s only one on the passenger side with the turbo lol
When I turn on high blower it sounds like the blower is high but not high coming out of the vent does this sound like this part ?
It does sounds like it because mine was on high too but wasn’t blowing through certain vents so it sounded quieter
Hey Bruce did this fix your problem?
@@mattbirch93 yes it did but , I believe I will also try to clean some fins on the heater core they might be blocking the air somewhat.
@Bruce Webber there is also a cabin air filter behind the glove box that will get clogged.
@@MrBoratWOW,my 2010 Laramie doesn't have a cabin filter,but it does have a cutout where you can install one,there is a kit for that with a removable flap where you cut the plastic out,the flap is made to snap in place after you slide the filter in, I need to install that and 2 actuators behind dash,my blower is working good but not much air through vents,am going to have to clean my evaporator coil fins(they are clogged)
What year is your truck? And what issues did you experience besides the clattering door? No heat less air flow?
It’s a 2010. Airflow and heat wasn’t coming out of the front defrost vents. it was almost winter time. It was going to be an issue so I had to fix it. There’s apparently another screw by the 110 outlet, mine didn’t have a screw there for some reason I don’t know why. Just watch out for that one.
What year is this??
2010
Is it safe to assume that’s the only blend door actuator that could get stuck on the floor?
If you are talking about the one behind the dash on the bottom, then yes. That’s where the bad actuator was for me. I just replaced both because I was already in there.
@@TheDaydreamerHustle thanks for the reply. My AC is stuck on the floor. Heater won’t get hot either. Any ideas for heater not working?
I think that’s to do the the blend door. Mine was just blowing cold air because the door flap wasn’t flipping over to let the hot air threw
Just replace the two that I did and you should be good hopefully
@@TheDaydreamerHustle thanks for the reply. Checking the fuses and relays tomorrow, if they are good I will replace actuators
They year and engine size would help greatly! And the blend door actuator is on top of the box on most dodges so not sure which actuator u changed.
This is 09-12 yr old
good video thanks
No problem I’m happy that this video is helping so many people.
What year model is this ram?
It’s a 2010 3500
