GM lets put the heater core 1 inch from the plastic blend door so it can melt warp and snap. Great engineering!
Man, you saved me a quoted $1700 to repair this. I replaced it yesterday following your incredible step-by-step video. I can't thank you enough, God bless you Brother!
I am glad it helped.
I took my 2014 and everyone is trying to charge me over 2k. Was there anything you had the most trouble with? Any tips?
@@cindym.4186 I have 4 videos that cover everything.

This was the best video for doing this that I found. He doesn’t talk too much, just enough to help you if you need it and the video was good for the space you have to record. Very helpful and I completed in about 2 hours, and AC works great again!
Did mine in 2 hours. Great video. Used gorilla tape as a seam sealer when done. Worked great.
Gorilla tape is the best way to seal the door and you can take it off easy when you do the job a second and third time. Which you will. I've done mine twice.
Any tips in addition to the video you may have?
@@cindym.4186 yes after replacing the blend door try not to put your ac all the way down. Go one notch above . This prevents excessive torque on the blend door hinge.
I came back to say thanks, Chris (737mechanic)! I followed your instructions and 3 years of no A/C in this Texas heat has been resolved. Saved me $5k from my local shop. I used an electric hot knife from Amazon. Took me about 4 hours because I ended up pulling out both seats to deep vacuum and shampoo the carpets lol.
Glad it was a success. And thank you for the nice comment.
This video was a huge help and I just spent the weekend working on my 2015 Camaro RS. Followed all these tips and instructions and would have gave up for sure if I hadn’t heard and seen it done on video. Thanks for saving me a large bill at the dealer!
dis you disconnected the battery for the BCM??
Great video. Dealer and another shop wanted $3000 to remove windshield and dash for a $15 blender door.
I followed your instructions step by step. Used a heat X acto electric knife. Took 5 hours cuz I took my time reviewing each step. AC is Freezing now! Heater is hotter than Hell.
Thank you so Much!!!
Joe...So California😎
Thats engineers for you. Im not fond of the idea of cutting that plastic to get to the door but im also not aboit to pay 3k or do all that for a 15$ part. Guess ill need a knife.
Holy smokes that was great! I believe I did watch the first video I remember you pulling that sensor out for the borescope, can’t believe how well that piece fit back on there after you cut it out, great job and thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us!
Man, I thank you so much for this video! $25.00 for the part and my time!!! I saw quotes upwards of $3000 to take the dash out and replace the blend door. 😢 Yikes! I followed step-by-step, and I appreciate you! May the Good LORD Bless you!
Thank you for the nice words.
He helped many people may good luck come to him for helping a fellow human.
2015 Camaro LT 65,000 mile on it, had the AC on noticed warm air/cool air mixture blowing immediate thought was low on Freon popped the hood high side of AC line ice cold. So I ordered a bore scope for my Iphone and a blend door. Most likely the blend door hinge is broken. Thanks for the awesome video. Update to come.
So got the bore scope took a little to manipulate the camera to the blend door actuator area but yep the hinge is broken and actuator is working. Ok time to go get some beer and start the cutting.
Someone give this guy a medal!!
I could cry, I have AC and heat again for the first time in months thanks to this video (and my husband for doing the work). I almost croaked when the repair shop told me the total cost could get up into the thousands.
My husband did use the weakest setting on his dremel and a bit with low profile teeth to speed up the plastic cutting, and managed to execute it perfectly.
OMG!!! This video is the best!!! Thank you!!! I am a female, I am a nurse, not a mechanic…. And I was able to follow step by step and fix my AC!!! I was able to get the last part back in without removing any parts, just took a little muscle… thanks again !!
Very impressive, I had a mechanical engineer drive from Louisiana to have me do it after he gave it a try and got half way through the cut and gave up.
Are you in Houston Tx by any chance? I need help with mine! 😂
@@M1shell31 I am in the dallas area.
@@737mechanic I’m in the Dallas area and definitely need some assistance! How can I reach out?
@@ggb4life You can email me at mechanic737@hotmail.com
Thank you so much for this detailed video. I watched it a few times, and I just successfully did this fix on my car. I had a shop quote me 1300 to fix it, and it only cost me ~$30 and some time!
For anyone that doesn’t have a scan tool. It’s not 100% necessary. All I did was disconnect battery and after finishing and connecting everything back. The only problems I encountered was tpms was all dashes and the compass was saying “CAL”. But literally after driving it for 5 seconds everything went back to normal. With the patience and tools you’ll get it done.
Just wanted to say thank you. Got my kids 2013 heating again. Silly me thought it was the thermostat. Thank you for your video and giving the average Joe confidence to tackle what the average person wouldn’t try!!!
Glad it helped you.
Yesssir love to see it sir! Thank you for being here for all of us Camaro bois🫡💯
Great video! Thank you sooo much! My son and I just did this to his 2015 Camaro and it worked like a charm!! We were quoted 1800 to 2200 from various mechanics. It cost us $50 in parts and tools and took 3.5 hours. Awesome video, thanks so much!
Amazing video. Stopped at harbor freight yesterday after watching your video to get the tools I needed and then replaced my blend door. Also I used a box cutter type tool and no heat to cut and it worked fine. That heater core is strong enough it just had some scratches on it
Great video. I kept the module plugged in and didn’t remove the seat which made it a little challenging but several hours later I had AC. Thanks!
Such a helpful video. Thank you so much. I did this today and only problem I had was installing the cut back. I couldn’t seal it. I ended up just going with it unsealed and the ac and heater work. I didn’t remove the seat or disconnect the battery and everything seems fine. Thanks again.
First, thank you so much for taking the time out to show us how to replace the blend door. I live in the midwest and my heat stopped working about 2 yrs ago. I was very nervous about doing this myself especially with the heatee core being so close to the blend door but I was able to fix it with no issues. For any woman reading this, if I can do it so can you. Just watch his video from beginning to end first, get every tool that he suggested, remove the car seat and get a pillow for your back then go to work. It might look challenging but it's not. Might is back working now. Again, thank you so much!
I had an engineer drive from a neighboring state to have me do this job that he started and got part way through and decided it was too much to finish so you should be proud. I have done 15 of these now and most have been for men who didn't have the confidence to follow the video and do it themselves.
Good job and glad it helped you.
I have to agree this is a very well and death video this man took his time show how to do it right and helping a lot of people out in this time of Overkill in expenses I'd like to say thank you
Amazing video dude! I have a 2013 Camaro with 67k miles on it, it seems like most people are having this issues around 10 years give or take of use before that door breaks.
I’m at the ten year mark and I’m having this issue as well. Hopefully I can fix it myself. This is a great video!
Best detailed mechanic video I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
Thank you for making this video. It worked perfectly. Just used it to fix my daughter’s 2015 Camaro SS. Awesome job.
This was a great video. It helped me replace my door. He did a great job!!!!
Best demo on TH-cam. Thank You ❤️
You’re video helped fix my heat myself. You are awesome.
I have a 2010 Camaro with the same issue. The A/C mechanic I took it to installed a valve on the heater hose, you close it for A/C and open it for heat. He said he did not know how to fix the blend door and this way was the most practical fix he knew of.
Today I found this video and ordered a new blend door off Amazon. Also, when on the order page an electric hot knife popped up. So Amazon must know about this fix. It will be nice to switch from heat to A/C without having to stop and turn the valve and burn the shit out of your fingers. 😮
Thank u so much for this video. I just fixed it on my 2015 Camaro as well. Thank you for your detailed instructions.
Got the door cut and out today, wasn't too bad, took a few hours, but I didn't get in any hurry.
Only thing I would add is the horizontal screw for the air duct was a Hex 20 on my car and not a 7mm. Mine is a 2012 2SS.
When you get these two screws out pull down towards you and rotate clockwise, the duct comes right out.
The only issue I have now is trying to fish out the broke end, and the white connector piece, but I'll tackle that tomorrow.
I used the borescope and unfortunately, they both are about 1/2 way down to the passenger side, approx. 6"-7" away from the hole I cut.
I tried a vacuum with an end on it that would hold them at the end without pulling them into it, but it didn't reach far enough.
I guess I'll try a long screwdriver tomorrow.
Thanks for the video, made it much easier to do.
Man I appreciate videos like this. You save me a ton of time. Even tho you gotta hack the side of the box open it actually doesn’t look to bad after you get it back together. Thank you!
Thank you so much man!! I followed this and it totally worked. You rock my world
Thank you for your video save me $3000 at the dealer. Now heat and cooling work great again. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I did it! yay! I thought about leaving the seat in but yeah that had to come out.. so much easier.
I finally replaced my blend door last night. I started at 9:45p and by 11:30p the new part was in and secured. I think I could have knocked this out even quicker but a few things held me up.
1. The plastic piece that you cut off to access the blend door, TRIM it like this video suggests. I tried to put it back in without trimming it and I couldn't align it right. I fought it for a while before giving up and then trimmed it. It went in right away after.
2. The AC vent tube that is removed at the beginning needs to be put in first when you are reassembling it and the BCM pieces/wires. I tried installing the BCM first and then the vent tube and failed miserably. Once I took out the BCM (and the bracket it is in) the vent tube reattached easily.
3. Get a GOOD light. I can't stress this one enough as there is very little room down there to work in and you can't see anything without a good light you can reposition over and over to get good views of everything.
If you need something good to cut the access door with, I hight recommend this ($40) plastic welder. I bought it several years ago for other projects and it worked great for this project too! There is a rounded tip that comes with it that was perfect for the job. It took me about 5 minutes to cut out the plastic piece., seriously 5 minutes if that!!

Question....are there any vacuum lines or hoses or anything that could have been nicked or cut or messed up in anyway that could have happened when a "shop" did this repair for me? Since having this repair done I've num a rous problems with my 2012 45th anniversary Ed ss. In this video I heard mention of a scan tool that resets any faults... would any such faults cause actual problems to the mechanical quality of my car? Maybe you xan tell that I've no idea about mechanics I got my dream car n since this shop "helped " me with this same problem u address jn the video it's been a nightmare. The shop is now shut down closed up gone bye bye so I've little recourse n fewer dollars to spare going to gm or Chevy is obviously the biggest fear in my nightmare. Please any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've got "stabilitrack" lights n messages as well as engine codes 303 n 353 which h from another video I saw say a they're all connected believe it or not n yes I've done spark plugs n tune up n compression Tests. Any ideas welcome. Thank in advance
Thank you very much for the knowledge Sir. Great video great tips and made it very easy to do it myself. 👍🏼 God Bless You always
Really good video, you went through each step. I would use whatever you are using to reseal the plastic, in the little holes on the door where it breaks to reinforce it from breaking again.
Thanks you for this video...congratulations
Just did this to my 2012 v6,
I feel like I need to send you some $$
Thank you brother
QUESTION: am in the process of doing this repair and have hit a snag. The shaft on the actuator motor won’t align with any position that I can adjust the newly installed blend door. It's just slightly off but enough where I can’t even re-bolt the piece on. I’m thinking I can reset with a 9V battery, but can’t find the pin assignment to test. (GM Part # 92215208/ACDelco Part # 15-74128) Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your videos!
Awesome thank you for the knowledge sir saved me a lot of time
What size bolts does the actuator take? My mechanic stole them from me..
I just did it successfully!! Planned for 3 years because I knew it would break eventually 😢
You sir are a Steely- Eyed-Missile Man! Destroyed my back, but saved a sh!t ton of money. Thank you
Thank you, I was a mechanic, but now going to school for a new trade. I toke my car to the dealership, and they want to pull the dashboard out and break my windshield in the process just to get to it. I just replaced the windshield and now they want 4500 in repairs... Almost half of what i paid for the car just to get to a hvac valve. If you are aware of anything else ridiculous please 🙏 make more videos.
Hey man I need help , do you think the blend door would be a reason for the clutch not to turn on the compressor?, I changed ac pressure switch , the clutch on compressor not engaging . I even tried to jump the compressor. But the weird thing is it engaged for the first time , I saw .. a few days ago ,when it was kinda cool outside.. 1st time ever since I had my Camaro since January .. i need all kinds of advice , trying to get it done this week before this 110 degree weather end me 😭
No, the blend air door will not have any effect on the compressor. If you know it is fully charged check the temp sensor. Watch this video on this Camaro blowing ice crystals, the temp sensor is what causes the compressor to cycle and if the temp sensor is stuck at a temp showing under 38 degrees the compressor will never come on. th-cam.com/video/_AYCzuww-Mo/w-d-xo.html
Good job I have the same problem and that will save me a lot of money
Thank You, got it done yesterday!!!
thanks, It was a great help
Just recently did this repair and while my air is still a bit cool compared to what it was, is it possible if you didn’t seal that plastic back up that the air that’s escaping could be coming in contact with the heater core resulting in it blowing warmer than it should? That’s literally the only thing I didn’t do and it started off fairly cool but today it felt warm again. The door seems to work cause I can tell the difference in temp otherwise.
Two things, first make sure it is fully charged, second, have someone do a door calibration to make sure it opens and closes all the way.
Thank you so much, my good sir 🙏
Tremendous help
I used a pocket knife and a propane torch and it worked great. I think the problem is not the door but the actuator not stopping in the correct position braking the blend door.
Hey man your video is awesome! Best one out there, question though so I was able to replace that flap. And now car is blowing cold air.. but when the car is driven.. it will blow cold then hot then back to cold and keep doing that.. any idea why?
HELP!! can you get to the actuator from this position? How do I know if it’s the blend door or a actuator
Motor causing the problem?? Don’t want to go thru all this just to find out the door is fine and the motor is bad ..
At 9:40 I start taking the actuator out and talking about how to tell if the door is broken.
Great Video
This was the best video I’ve seen on TH-cam saved me 1.5k quoted to me by my local Chevy dealership. Took me 4 hour but saved me all that money. Followed this video step by step and got it. Thank you !!!
Do mines😩😩😩
Where you from 😂 I’m also a residential heating and air technician which is why I didn’t find this to be so complicated 😂
I don't understand why a lot of people go to dealership. They overpriced everything and they do the same
Thank you for this video you saved me over 1000.00 dollars
I did it myself with the help of your video but I have a question hopefully you can help when I put the car back together and hooked up the battery I now have a service airbag light on is it possible I hit a wire under the dashboard???
They quoted me over 3000 at dealership
Got the Boroscope today, what position should the camera that's on the side of it be positioned?
I tried it from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock and still could find the far end of the door to see if it was broken.
So if you just barely put it in and with the key on turn the temp selector you should see the door open and close if it is not broken if it is you will not see it move. If you were to look straight through the hole the door coupling would be just below the hole. The video below is another video showing the boroscope in action.

@@737mechanic
The heat will not come on at all, and the door doesn't move when I rotate the temp dial.
I just wanted to see the far end of the blend door from the passenger side, to verify it's broken on the actuator side.
I cannot see the heater core, only the evaporator so it must be stuck in the cooling position.
Based upon what it is doing, it probably is the blend door.
Just wanted to verify before I go buy a hot knife.
Thanks so much for your help.
I wish you were in NC, I'd just pay you to do it. I'm 6'2" 230 and getting in there even with the seat removed will be tight.
But your accent sounds like Okie. Just a guess.
How can I get past the relearn stage ? I don’t have a scan tool to do last part plan on fixing my blend door this week.
You can disconnect the battery and reconnect it and when you turn the key on it will do a self learn.
This was a very helpful video and I appreciate you doing it. However I just finished doing this on my 2014 Camaro. I must say this is the hardest repair I've ever done to a vehicle in my life. I struggled almost all the way through it. Lying on my back wasn't good either it made me nauseous and sick. If someone offered me $3,000 to fix their car this way I would refuse. I did however spend the money for the billet blend door so hopefully it will never break again and if it does I know I'm not fixing it. Thanks again for your video I probably couldn't have got this done without it.
I am about to do my 16th Camaro tomorrow and I only charge $350. Maybe I am lowballing myself........
Any tips on unclogging ac drain? Have water spitting out vents.
If it is clogged drain you can stick a flexible wire up into the drain tube. You will need to jack the car up so you can access the drain.
What is a safe length to use on the exacto knife to not pierce the heater core? I’ll be attempting to do this in two weeks and damaging the heater core is what worries me the most.
I use the regular exacto knife blade and I grind down the sharp point to a rounded point to be safe. But unless you are really pushing hard on it I don't think you need to worry to much.
@@737mechanic Thanks for the great video and details! AC is blowing super cold again! I have an Xtool D7 and did the relearn. If I do this often should it be okay to move my switch to max AC or max heat or should I avoid doing this at all even if I can run the relearn monthly?
@@kylewalsh803 I run ours on max. Our car had 130000 miles when it broke so I figure if it last even 80000 before it breaks again no big deal. If we happen to have the car the hard part is already done.
Thank you. I have no money but have a camaro hahaha 😅 so I used the torch lighter to melt the blend door pieces Back together even stronger than before and ill tell you what it looks ugly but it works great 👍 atleast there's access now
Great video!!! Quick question how did you try and run the door actuator? Did you just try and cycle through heat/acmodes?
That door is for temp only so when you turn your temp selector it should cycle that door from full hot position to full cold position.
Hey I need to know have you done these on the 2011-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee? They’re infamous for these problems and I’d love to know if you have done them before. Thanks!
No I have not. Is it the door that breaks or just the actuator that goes out?
What were the symptoms? I have one in the shop now , blowing cold and hot air out of middle vent. Driver side vent only hot. Evacd and refilled freon to spec. Still the same.
I have a video that shows how to verify the blend air door is the problem.
How did you know where to plug up the connectors back into the body control module? I see they are all different colors but how did you know you weren't plugging the connector into the wrong spot
They are all idiot proof so even I can get them in correctly. Also the way they break out of the harness they kinda fall into their appropriate place.
They are labeled
Thank you for this video! SO detailed. I was able to knock this out in about 3 hours. Unfortunately I should've got the scope because once i got to the blend door it was perfectly fine. I replaced it anyway with the new one since i was down there. I never thought I'd actually HOPE it was my blend door. My car still blows hot air in the summer and im suspecting will blow cold air in the winter again. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Maybe it's something as simple as recharging the AC/Leak. Its a 10 year old Camaro with 92k miles. Any suggestions on what the issue could be ?
Look and see if the compressor is engaged when the engine is running and if so, feel the aluminum low side line that is next to the master cylinder and see if it is cold, if it isn't then check the refrigerant charge.
would you be able to use a dremel to cut the piece out instead of a hot knife ?
The problem with using a dremel is the cut will be thicker than using a hot knife and the most important is if you even touch the evaporator or heater core you will grind through them. The purpose of using a hot knife is NOT being able to cut through either of those.
I can’t get my Front Driver Side Floor Air Outlet Duct back in and you skipped it in the video. Any advice?
You just have to keep twisting and pushing. It will eventually go.
Hello if cold air coming out from one side and hot from the other does it mean the actuator is Brocken?
Not necessarily, the first thing you need to do is make sure it is fully serviced.
Great video man thanks for all the tips. I did have one question though is the door suppose to be in a certain position when installed depending on what setting you have the ac on?
If you turn your dial to cold the door will be pointing down.
Would this affect if ac blows full cold as well as full hot? I noticed the when I turn on hot air on mornings it’s just warm but not hot. And when I turn on ac it doesn’t blow full cold. If you know the answer and can get back to me I would really appreciate the reply.
It could, usually what happens is the door will break part way and it will still move somewhat from cold to hot then eventually it breaks entirely and it won't move at all.
Thank you good sir for the step by step. Finally knocked it our today and may I say the nice cold ac is going to come in clutch these next few months. Only struggle was removing and putting back the plastic cut out. Decided not to put back foot air duct just cause I never use it. But overall fairly duable for anyone with the right tools, time and patience.
OMG, trying to get that far end of the door into the boss has been a complete PITA!
Does the actuator fits in any position the door is? Does it matter? Or you need to keep the door closed so the actuator engages in? Do you need to recalibrate with the scanner after you finish installing it? Thanks
Anyway, you can get it back on and then disconnect the battery and reconnect and when you start the car it will do a self calibrate.
@@737mechanic thanks! I appreciate your help!👍👍👍
Blend door isn't coming in this week. Any chance you know in what position will the blend door throw cold air? 😅
No but if it is broken there is no way to manually position it because it usually falls down in the hvac box.
Turned a 8.5hr book time job down to 30 min thank man
Just got this done, thank you for the video! I had an issue come up after reconnecting everything and starting the car, the HVAC controls don't work properly, when pressing legs and face it comes out of the windshield vent and legs, not the face. There's also some weird popping noises coming from somewhere in the dash when set to face only and max fan speed. Any idea what I can do? The battery was disconnected the entire time, and I didn't reconnect it until everything was plugged back in.
Disconnecting the battery should cause the door actuators to recalibrate. You may have a bad mode control actuator.
@@737mechanic not sure what it was, got back under it this morning took BCM out, air duct out, reinstalled everything now its working like normal. Thanks again for the video!
@@rinzzlerrrr Maybe one of the BCM plugs wasn't seated all the way.
Very helpful
Blend Door is the same as recirculation ? What is the part number ? 15-74128 ?
No different door. P/N is 92215212
Do I need a scan tool to retrain the blend door? I don’t have one. Where do I purchase the right one and would a dealership do it? And is it necessary?
If you disconnect the battery and reconnect it the car will do it itself.
Awesome man thanks!
This video helped me change my blend door myself. I'm 58 yr old healthcare provider. I'd like to add that there is a simpler way to check if the blend door is working. Remove the cabin air filter. Have someone turn the AC to on and over to heat. You can clearly see the blend door moving. Of.course that was after I fixed it. So if it's broken. The blend door shouldn't move back and forth.
I thought you were on to something but the only thing I could see when the cabin air filter is removed is the squirrel cage on the blower motor.
What year Camaro do you have?
@@737mechanic My Camaro is a 2015. Does the squirrel guard move back and forth when the temp is moved from cold to heat?
@@elliehorning922 So the cabin air filter on the 2013 is on the cowl under the hood. When I open the hood and remove the cabin air filter the blower motor squirrel cage is all I can see. When I look under the passage side of the dash I see nothing that would allow me to remove to see the blend air door.
I'll take a closer look at this tomorrow morning. I'm in Florida and morning is best for me to work on my car.
I've changed the blend door and it moves back and forth easily. I also changed the blend door Actuator since I was right there to do so.
Unfortunately, I'm getting cold air when I start out driving, but then it goes to warm air.
I'm thinking, I may have mixed my new Actuator with the old and put the old 1 back in.
I am going to change that out in the morning.
I'm at a loss as to why I'm getting cool air and warm air . It comes and goes.
Any idea what else might be my problem. Help help help🙏🏻
@@elliehorning922 You need to find out if the compressor is shutting off or if it is still engaged. That will tell you if it is something causing the compressor to disengage or if it is a door issue.
What size bore scope?
What type of drill did you use to remove the seat?
I use my 3/8 impact.
Great video! I did this but I broke more plastic off than I should when I pulled out that cover from the blend door....I tested it, and it works! I have heat again!
Question....what can I use to cover up the big chunks I broke off? Should I seal what's sealable and use like duct tape to cover the big hole? Lol it started leaking liquid when I tested my heat
im having trouble getting this piece off, i got the bottom to dislodge but its still not budging for me
Make sure you have cut deep enough in the two top corners and pry the bottom out and kinda bend it back and forth and it will slowly work loose.
nvm i got it, that top piece was a bear, for some reason. you made it look easy
