He’s not lying about the center console making the job a pain in the ass! Came close to ripping the SOB out of the truck before I finally got it installed. Thanks for the video.
Driver side door actuator is much worse in the 2003 Escalade, yet your video gave me the most help.
Its driver side on mine to he labeled this video wrong ours is 2003 and the driver side is on left side under steering wheel
Thank you! There are about a thousand videos on resetting the AC Unit and ONLY ONE video on the required repair.
Dude thank you. I just went and bought a A/C clutch switch to see if it would fix my problem but it didn't. Now I gotta change the blend door actuators so this is extremely helpful
Dude, best video on this! I've watched them all and never felt confident to replace this. Thanks so much! Texas summers FTW.
How did you get the 3rd 7mm screw out of the fascade piece?
this was a very well put together video, it actually gives me the courage to see if i can conquer this job. thanks
Thank you so much! Saved me a couple bucks brother took me 5 mins to change this and my blower motor
Yo just fixed my ac with a new actuator just like you said thanks homie .
Bout to change mine out to see what happens.
It wasn't that bad getting to that screw but I'd be a damn liar if I say the thought didn't cross my mind to just pull that cover off forcefully. Lol but 15-20 minute fix was awesome. I changed all 3 on my other truck before but had no clue where my 04' yukon denali actuator was. Thanks man helped alot 🤘
I'm in Florida and this heat and humidity is a killer. Glad to have cool air back
Thank you bro! Very helpful!!
Awesome easy vid thank you!
You said the truth it’s a pain in the ass thank you sir for showing me I finally got it
I appreciate ya homie told me everything I wanted to know .
Happy Days worked like new. 😊
Great video!! Thanks
Thank you much
Not too bad of a job. Fairly easy. Now that one 7mm screw closest to center console, now that can beca PITA
Muchas gracias esé
My door is very hard to manually turn should it be like
That?
Una preguntita Jorge. Tengo una gmc Sierra 2001.y tengo el Mismo problema. Abeses enfria .pero la mayor parte del tiempo no .gracias.
Puede ser este el problema. La cosa es si no enfría del mismo lado del chófer. Si es del lado del pasajero entonces ba ser otra parte similar pero en otra locación
Any feedback on the plastic replacement vs the OEM metal? I understand it's just a rubber "knob" it wraps around; but, the weight of the metal I believe was part of the original design.
Is still holding up. So for the price is not bad.
Buenas tardes amigo jorge yo tengo una yukon 20001gmc slt y si enfria en el tablero pero en medio y atras solo avienta aire caliente podria ser el actuador q va en la parte de atras o podia ser el ventilador q esta pegado gracias por los videos
@@miguel90002 no estoy seguro porque pasará eso.
Great video jorge! Question for ya...My gf drove her 2005 Tahoe to friends house for dinner. She was blasting her AC in the car and worked fine. She starts her car 3 hours later and battery is dead and needs new one. She swaps out battery then immediately the driver side blasts hot air and the passenger side blasts cold. Bad passwenger actuator or car needs reset so actuators can adjust to new battery?
I would try resetting the ac, I can't remember from the top of my head how to do it but there's videos on it. I would think the Actuator got stuck from a short on the battery or something that killed it. Atleast let's hope that's the case because it is a little pain in the rear to replace this actuator
Turn key to on position and hit auto on AC controls, then turn off truck go to engine bay fuse panel and pull “10” fuse labeled hvac for 1min and plug it back in, then turn truck on for 2 mins and the AC controls should start on 74 degrees and on auto. DO NOT TOUCH, system is recalibrating, once 2 mins are done turn truck off for 15 seconds and turn truck back on. Then the AC controls should reset and can then move them around
Great video.. Curious if the part you installed still operates as it should ?
Yes it does. No problems at all.
@@Jorge.Rangel Awesome thanks.
Guess I'll buy it ✊💯
Is there anyway you can send a pic of how that actuator plug is pinned? Need to match the colors for a new plug
Picture of the Actuator itself? Or the harness side in the dash?
is this the one you changed right next to the radio? everyone I talked to said they have to remove the dash to change it out?
The one next to the radio is for the passenger side and that one is a pain to swap
Ok how on the f*** did you get the third screw out? The o e behind the console that holds the black cover on? I can get a long socket on there but not with the 1/4” drive ratchet. And it’s too tight to loosen it by hand! Plus my hand can hardly fit on there to turn it lol
The passenger side is a bish.
What do you do if you take the old one out and the plastic snaps and stays in the old actuator when it comes out???? I have 2003 Cadilac Escalade and IDK what to do????
Most likely you'll have to replace it or hopefully you can put it back and glue it
Is this the actuator that controls the hot and cold air flow on the driver side...(passenger side is cold)
Yes
How did you get the last screw out?? Were you able to twist the socket by hand?
If you have a small ratchet it will fit in there. Is a tight squeeze but it will work. Insert socket first by hand then attach the ratchet
@@Jorge.Rangel ok thanks bro!!
I used a 1/4" drive breaker bar. I couldn't squeeze my ratchet in. It didn't take much to loosen it enough to turn with my fingers. To put it back I JB welded the socket to the screw. I got it pretty tight with my fingers then used the breaker bar.
Tengo un problema similar, enfría del lado del conductor y del lado del pasajero sale aire caliente.
Cuando pongo el aire caliente no cambia en nada.
Espero y puedas ayudarme con este problema.
De antemano muchas gracias
Me imagino que es lo mismo que tenia esta
i have kinda the same problem. i have a 04 yukon and it's blowing hot air out the front and if i put the aux control so i can control the air in the back and i move the ac from the back i will blow cold air in the back only.
Seems like blend door actuator plus the air mode actuator.
This only controls one side?
What if both sides in front blow warm and rear cold?
Then first you can try to recalibrate the ac system. There's a few videos out there. If that doesn't fix it then maybe both your actuators are done. This one plus the one behind the glove box behind the dash. There's videos on that one too and is alot more work to fix.
I fixed the problem on the driver's side and the part they sent was this 1 for the passenger side so order the rite part
How many actuators is there? The driver side actuator is on the passenger side, so where is the passenger side actuator? Is there a.rear one for the back passengers?
That passenger actuator is behind the dash right in the middle of the passenger side. It is quite a job to change that one. As for the rear I'm not really sure
I have a 2003 blows hot on front and rear cold ? Any one could help
Could this also cause cold only on driver side and heat on passenger side ?
Yes
@@Jorge.Rangel so if I change the blend door driver side I’ll get my heat back? It only blows cold on the driver side, heat and cold both work on passenger side
@@damienvera3135 yes correct
You should have shown how you got that last screw out behind the console.
Not enough space to fit any camera in there. Theres barely enough space to feel the screw with your fingers and try to put the socket on the screw just by feel.
No room
Your title says driver side, but that looks like the passenger side to me. So both blend doors on are passenger side?
That's what is called, there is not other blend Actuator on the driver side, but there is another blend actuator behind the glove box I would assume "passenger side". The only other Actuator closer to driver side is called the mode change Actuator above the gas pedal and is meant for selecting where the air comes out of.
@@Jorge.Rangel Perfect, thanks for the explanation!
What if mine is blowing cold on drivers side while heat on
Passenger side is hot
And driver side doesn't change? Always stays on cold? Then is the same issue it just got stuck on cold.
How in hell did y'all get that 1 bolt out 😂 ive got them all out except for that 1. Cant get anything to it to get it
My rear air don’t work Yukon Denali
Will you replace mine, for a charge of course
im in texas and will do it for 60 bucks, only takes me 30 mins :) practice makes perfect lol
In mine that is the oassenger side actuator...
Look at my vids, see my latest upload today. The parts puller is dead asleep while trying to get out the part. He watched your video, but he can't get the back screw out so he tore apart the entire dash. I've been watching him go at this for 45 minutes trying to get the actuator out and I'm about to give up. I can't tell him anything because he knows everything. So I'll just go buy it new.
Damn lol
@@Jorge.Rangel He gave up. So I gave up. 90 minutes wasted. Buying a new one.
I changed mine and th driver side still blowing hot air.. evrythng elz is ok
Maybe a bad part?
@@Jorge.Rangel this will be my second time replacing it. also, I did the calibration thing and it's still not blowing correctly
I've had my passenger side disconnected on cold for years,and now the driver's side went out lol
Having an issue with my 04 tahoe rear ac blows cold but not in front
Not sure what blend door controls that.
That blend door is located in the rear on the right hand side. That one I believe will take programming.
Mine don’t work,new one has three prongs and old on has five.
Different part number?
@@Jorge.Rangel idk,everybody was saying they were all the same so I didn’t pay attention.
@@Jorge.Rangel I adjusted the old one to cold and left it unplugged for now.
Your so wrong on this one bro. That blend door for a/c and heater. The actuator on driver side controls the vents. From defrosts to vent to floor.
Google it. They call this one driver side, yes I know about the one above the has peddal that controls where it comes out of because I just swapped it aswell. Same gear was broken. The passenger side blend door is behind the glove box behind the dash. I'm not expert but wbery Google search I did came out with the same names.
Whatever is called I gave you part numbers so you can buy it off that and call it what you want. The video is good and shows what's needs to be done.
You labeled this driver side but your on the passenger side
According to Google and all I read, this is how is called. Passenger side is behind glove box behind a bunch of stuff
This would be passenger not driver
Not sure, everyone calls this side driver
@@Jorge.Rangel There's another one on the driver's side up above the gas pedal behind the dash. It selects which vent the air blows out of. It's the same part number.
It's the driver side actuator because this one controls the driver side temperature. There is another that controls the passenger side which is way up in the dash almost behind the passenger airbag.
