Thank you!!! This kind of videos will give fears to mechanics for not ripping off customers! Long live TH-cam auto content providers! I have saved quite a lot of money for doing DIYs via TH-cam videos like yours!
2000 Accord EX. Slightly different control panel. Your directions were right on. Fixed driver’s side and my vent control works again! Thank you. My additions: 1. In order to disconnect the green plug, you must slide out the little black retainer that sits against the green part. 2. If you break ALL the tiny case clips, don’t worry; you don’t need any of them. Thanks again for this great vid.
John you saved me lots of money! Thanks a million! I used eyeglass screwdrivers to tweek up the flimsy clips that hold the miserable actuator together....broke one anyway careful as I was being. Tilted the motor contacts and raised the piano of contacts slightly as you advised. BOOM! My wife was so happy. She saw me pouring over your concise video like a madman. None of the auto stores had one in stock....I checked them all as I dreaded squirming under that dash to be honest. Thanks tons again sir.
This is a wonderful, I've been dealing with this problem for months. Thank you . I wish more people would follow your format when making videos. It was accurate, informative and complete . Again, thank you
I had the same issue. Hot air coming out of front vents. Took motor/servo off opened it up cleaned and re-tensioned the contacts and plugged in and it works great. Thanks for your help. You saved me a lot of money.
So glad I found this video because I was about to take it in and let someone else fix it. It took less than 10 minutes to take off, clean, and reinstall. I ended up breaking 2 of the 4 clips but no biggie as it was still able to close the box. I had been hating when the weather went from sunny to rain cause it meant I had to manually turn the gears to the correct air flow direction.Thanks for posting and saving me some $$$.
Again thank you sir for your instructions on cleaning and reinstalling. Mine needed a motor change so I got a cheap actuator on Amazon for $22 and took the motor out since the rest of the unit didn’t match mine. Had to solder in motor leads. No biggie, but at first the alignment didn’t work but I studied your alignment on the video and copied it and now it goes from cold to hot without making clicking sounds. Thank you for saving me over $100. Hope this post helps out the next guy.
Worked fine on 2000 Honda Accord, both the left "Mode Controller" and the right "Air Mix Controller". Both had a build-up of grease on the contacts. Simply opened the controller cases carefully, marked the component positions, then lifted and cleaned the grease and put light coating back on the "wheel" that rotates on the contacts. It's a tight fit on the passenger's side, but the driver's side was very accessible (that side controls the flats that direct the air flow). Thanks for the very helpful video!
Thank you. I used this guide and did not even have to buy a new($250+) oem /used ($60). I simply took off my drivers side actuator as you said controls the mode/direction and took it apart cleaned the pieces and followed each part. The hardest part was getting the part off as I am big and the small space allowed around the pedals doesn’t allow for much space. Thanks man! I can now control my direction of air flow as the winters with weak defroster direction was getting dangerous.
I had to replace my mode control motor today and this video was very helpful. Repair shop said 'special order part' - $466. eBay used part - $47 shipped. Relatively easy to access/install, especially with the detail you provided here. Many thanks.
Wow John, awesome video by way of instruction my man!!! Simple to the point and for someone like myself who is mechanically inclined but having no experience in auto repair whatsoever, you just opened a whole new door for me!!! You the man!!! Thanks!!!
Nice video. I've done this many times on GM vehicles but a friend has a 2000 Accord with blend door problems and since I'm old and had 9 back surgeries I wanted to find locations before I laid on my back. I didnt expect to find someone like myself that takes the time to repair instead of buying.
Thank you for this video! I started having issues with my AC a few months back, but never worried with it. It wouldn't change the zones for the air, but I took it out today and cleaned it like your video and it worked like a champ! Your were super helpful and informative.
I know this is an older video, but I’ve had several accords, and videos like yours make my repairs so much easier, thank you so much, hope time has treated you well🤞
Thank you sir. My hot to cold fader has been broken at about 3 years. Could not trace down the problem. $47 on eBay, followed your video and all is well now. Thank you Sir. AWSOME!!!
Thank you, had same problem with the actuator motor for directing the air, your video was spot on. Cleaned the grease off and put it together. Now working.
Did you reapply grease or no? Wasn't sure if the grease was meant to be there in the first place or why it's there, but he didn't mention reapplying grease after cleaning it off.
Thanks for posting this video. My climate controls were completely dead on Thanksgiving night except the fan. Even the LEDs. The next morning everything worked fine. The next day it took 3 to 5 Seconds to work but it worked for the rest of the day. It has worked since then I took it to a shop that has a good reputation they can't seem to recreate the problem. It seemed cold was another factor. It was below 30 degrees. I'm not sure I can do this myself anymore because the physical health conditions. I don't know who to take it to. But at least I have an understanding now thank you.
Thanks so much, John. I just had to get some grease. Only took about 10 minutes and my air isn't stuck on the footwell vents anymore. My mechanic is usually fantastic about never upselling and knows this model car well, but even he was saying it'd take parts replacement. Nope! I'm going to tell him about this next oil change.
I used the 9/32 socket. This was one of the hardest things to get to. I did everything in the video but i think mine is just no good. But, my air is now coming out the front vents instead of being stuck on defrost. I didnt reconnect the arms to the motor which is allowing my air to flow through the front vents. Thanks a bunch for this video. I thought i had to change the whole climate control face.
Great Video. What threw me was I took out and opened the box and all the contacts looked bright and new. I tested the motor and no go! Then I cleaned the clean looking contacts and it WORKED! Re-installed it and it works fine. $aved $$$!
Thanks so much! I still have a bulletproof 98 Accord and this cold AM the heater was not working. This is great to learn about the flap actuators, looks like my pass side is not working.
Great video. I was about to order the actuator and then found your video - and it worked! (2002 Honda Accord SE). Not too easy for an old fat guy but I got it. Thanks!
Thank you very much for helping to understand why only heat comes out. I believe I overcharged my AC because I didn’t search out the issue first. Wasted 40 bucks on refrigerant when this most like is the issue at hand. Now I have to have refrigerant weighed for right amount and hopefully didn’t damage my compressor. The line gets cold so I think I’m good. I will take your suggestion and remove the motor assembly and clean it up and tighten internal connections. Again thank you for helping me and many others.
I wish we lived near you, my daughter's car has this problem, it is a 2000 Honda Accord and we have 2 mechanics that are not answering our calls....hmmm. Thank you for this video, very informative!!
Cheryl Diaz yeah just pull those Motors out on each side under the dash, and replace them with eBay or salvage yard units. That will fix your problem, almost guarantee it
5:40 Would you please point me to your other video you mentioned? My problem is with the LEDs. They are off, and the AC doesn't turn on because of that.
+1 for this request. Mine is having two issues; 1) all LED's go out sometimes. Almost always after starting it up, and then also randomly. 2) as of today, the switching of the modes (i.e. defrost, feet, dash etc) doesn't work. The lights will change when I press the buttons, but the mode doesn't actually change. Happens randomly
Excellent video, thank you so much! My actuator for the modes (floor vent, dash vent, etc.) has been slowly failing over the past years (works fine most of the year, stops working in colder winter months). I'm going to attempt this repair just as you've outlined. Thank you again!
excellent diagnosis and explanation. Mostly the led lights lose power. the solder trick helps usually. Ive replaced the circuit board control several times as well over 25 years
I want to say thank you very much for helping me out I haven't had heat in my car for 5 years I can't believe it was such an easy fix thanks a lot brother
Thanks for this video. My A/C problem was stuck either hot or cold. Blowing cold air while turning heat up max, or blowing hot air while a/c is on. Found the passenger side air mix motor not response to climate control knob. Remove the air mix motor, retouched all the connector. Tested ok before put back in. Now I have hot or cool air as turning climate control knob.
Excellent! John thanks so much you were spot on! It worked just like you said it would. The only thing is I didn't hold the cam in the same position when I took it out so I had to take it out and do it again no problem now we have a run the defroster and I am a hero! That makes you a hero thanks again exclamation
Success thanks to your video. To remove the actuator's metal arms from the plastic rotating part you have to unclip it. There is a small plastic part that is part of the rotator which clips on the metal bar. Flip it up to unclip it. 5/30/18
Thank you for this information!!!! Winter is coming and I cannot drive my car to school as of now here in Colorado cause the window are covered in ice so when I get home tomorrow I will try this and follow up with how it came out!!!!
@TimedPiecesTN it was very awesome fixing it I’m sorry for the long reply but after I got it fixed I was so excited! Sadly as of late a hail storm totaled out my 6th Gen I kept driving it then I spun a bearing and it began knocking, sadly I had to sell it but I wanna get another 6th Gen soon!
Hey, great video, thanks! I've changed a cuple actuators some years back on a truck and a jeep. My son now has a 01 Accord and theirs no air blowing thru any of the vents. When I put my hand on the passenger side actuator I feel a single thump. a lightly audible tic tic is heard just before the thump. This happens when he is pushing the button to change vent flow. Again there is zero air blowing thru the vents other than he has noticed a bit of forced air flow when driving highway speeds. Trying to diagnose this without the car as he has gone to his house now. Thanks for any suggestions! Your vid is superb!
After removing the grease on the internal contacts to permit cleaning them with sandpaper, did you replace the grease? What type is it? Does it need to be conductive? thank you for any insight available.
Dude that was a very informative video exactly what's going on with my 2001 accord ...ac has stopped as is all push button panel switches like you showed. ... must say looks like a tough job if you don't know electronics like you....wish it was just a fuse! Aaaargh
today I looked at the Heater control valve, going to the heater core. A simple valve, controlled by that wire. Is this wire what the blend door moves? I slipped the wire off, and moved the valve, trying to get at least some heat, 'cos it's cold out. Well I got some heat, but not much. What causes that wire to move? Switching on the A/C? 'Cos it didnt move when I hit the A/C button. Also my RECIRC works, it has always worked. So would this mean the Blend door actuator is good? HELP! The coolant looks good, nice color. Could it be heater core?
Did you figure out the issue? I have the same thing happening. The mode actuator definitely works, and on my dash I have a display showing the temperature setting and it changes as I turn to hotter or colder but i have no heat. I don’t think the cable moves but i also switched the heat control in the engine bay by the firewall but it still only blows cold. I’m taking the module apart tomorrow to see if i can do the same thing that we saw on the video. I hope it will do the trick. Awesome video! Thank you for taking the time helping so many of us. Cheers 🍻

John you saved me lots of money! Thanks a million! I used eyeglass screwdrivers to tweek up the flimsy clips that hold the miserable actuator together....broke one anyway careful as I was being. Tilted the motor contacts and raised the piano of contacts slightly as you advised. BOOM! My wife was so happy. She saw me pouring over your concise video like a madman. None of the auto stores had one in stock....I checked them all as I dreaded squirming under that dash to be honest. Thanks tons again sir.
Best video ever made ... I wish everyone would take their time and explain just like you do man... awesome video
Thank you
100% best video on the 98-02 Honda accord climate control explanation and fixes.
On some real shit!!
I was gonna say the same thing! Thank you sm for this!!
You did excellent in explaining all of this to someone who has absolutely no knowledge of this area and needs to fix her own car. Thank you
@Kimberly avalos Yay for single girls with no help for taking the plunge and doing it on their own! Way to go girl!
@@Zugeily1981 thank you

Thank you so much, I have a 1999 Honda Accord. All I did was push the green fuse in and my heat turned back on thank you!

Turned on A/C today, no center air flow. Watched you're video. Tuned up the assembly like you showed, works great now ! Thx Warren!!
Thankyou for your technical support and help keeping these classic Hondas on the road 😀. Mine will roll 300,000 miles this year!

I can now control my direction of air flow as the winters with weak defroster direction was getting dangerous.
IS it 2000 accord?
Hello, did you just clean it or also reapply some type of grease, I can’t control the directions of my airflow 99’ accord.
I had to replace my mode control motor today and this video was very helpful. Repair shop said 'special order part' - $466. eBay used part - $47 shipped. Relatively easy to access/install, especially with the detail you provided here. Many thanks.
Derek Rogers I had a very hard time getting this piece off. How did you get it off so easily?
Derek what year was the accord of yours
Honestly some mechanics are a bunch of rip offs. Very few honest ones out there
Wow John, awesome video by way of instruction my man!!! Simple to the point and for someone like myself who is mechanically inclined but having no experience in auto repair whatsoever, you just opened a whole new door for me!!! You the man!!! Thanks!!!
Wow wish you were here to help more often .. so nice you go through and explain step by step .. so nice
Excellent video & description of both issues. Mine was fixed with mode vent actuator under driver's dash. Big thanks again.
Nice video. I've done this many times on GM vehicles but a friend has a 2000 Accord with blend door problems and since I'm old and had 9 back surgeries I wanted to find locations before I laid on my back.
I didnt expect to find someone like myself that takes the time to repair instead of buying.
Great explanation. Nice job identifying which control is which. And showing the inside of the motor assembly.

You sir. Have saved another honda owner a lot of time and money. With this video i can fix both problems my self. Thank you for the video.
I know this is an older video, but I’ve had several accords, and videos like yours make my repairs so much easier, thank you so much, hope time has treated you well🤞
Thank you so much for the very descriptive video you should make more because you explain everything in detail!!
Thank you sir. My hot to cold fader has been broken at about 3 years. Could not trace down the problem. $47 on eBay, followed your video and all is well now.

Thank you for making this video! Just fixed my Daughters heater because of you
I had the same problem with my 98 Accord, thanks to this video I was able to fix it.
Thanks a lot dude, great video
I watched your video after i did mine the same way. You did a excellent job...please continue...one of the best ive seen. Thank you.

Absolutely pure Genius. Best Video on the subject. Thank you.
Save my life and money sir ,I want to
Give you a big thank you for sharing this info ,now ac is working like is supposed to
As some of the other commentators have requested, I too would request a video on the climate control circuit. Thank you
Thanks for the video, my defroster is now working again. The hardest parts was getting my body under the drivers side of my accord.
You made this so easy to understand and showcased it all well, thank you very much.
I used the 9/32 socket. This was one of the hardest things to get to. I did everything in the video but i think mine is just no good. But, my air is now coming out the front vents instead of being stuck on defrost. I didnt reconnect the arms to the motor which is allowing my air to flow through the front vents.

Thank u so much u have no idea how happy I am u did this for all of us
Thank you. I will try this on my 98. I have to watch the vid on the lights.
One other thing, I like your artwork of the dash! I am an art teacher.
Yo you deserve all the stars in the world for providing those drawings. It helped out so much
Glad it helped
Wow!! Thank you! I really hope this is what's wrong with my front vents. Going to give this a try tomorrow, thank you!!!
Great Video. What threw me was I took out and opened the box and all the contacts looked bright and new. I tested the motor and no go! Then I cleaned the clean looking contacts and it WORKED! Re-installed it and it works fine. $aved $$$!
Thank you for that!! I wouldn’t have known where to even start. I’ll be taking care of this soon.
Thanks so much! I still have a bulletproof 98 Accord and this cold AM the heater was not working. This is great to learn about the flap actuators, looks like my pass side is not working.

Wow thank you.. for taking the time to share, so nicely detailed!
Wow you just fixed my 98 accord. Thank you!❤️
Your video helped us we got it fixed with our air flow controller thank you
I wish we lived near you, my daughter's car has this problem, it is a 2000 Honda Accord and we have 2 mechanics that are not answering our calls....hmmm. Thank you for this video, very informative!!

@John Caleb Warren. John, nice job adding the drawing. Not many people would have went to the trouble of doing it. Thanks for uploading the video....
Alright but how did you remove the piece ?
Thank u fix my daughter's car today heat blowing !
Thank you very much for making this video. I will try this in the morning. Keep the videos coming3.
Best video,in regards to this specific issue. Thanks much! Have a great weekend! 😃 👍
didnt explain how to release the little rods from the actuator, but thanks for video..it saved me some $$$
Worked like a charm! Appreciate the post!
Thanks allot for the blueprint. Was looking everywhere for the vent,floor,defrost actuator
OMFG that soldering a wire recommendation worked wonders thank you soooooo much ❤❤❤❤
@djayyy420, what symptoms/problems did you have?
Thanks so much. It was the actuator motor near the gas pedal that had closed the center vents.
Hi John - this video was very helpful :). Thank you so much!!
Thanks for leading me in the right direction I was confused
Yu jus saved me about a million dollars thanks for the video
Dude this was the best video ... that really fixed the same issue I had .. Thank you so very much.
How did you unclip the metal rod stuck onto the white part???
Thank you for this information!!!! Winter is coming and I cannot drive my car to school as of now here in Colorado cause the window are covered in ice so when I get home tomorrow I will try this and follow up with how it came out!!!!
@TimedPiecesTN yes it did!
@TimedPiecesTN it was very awesome fixing it I’m sorry for the long reply but after I got it fixed I was so excited! Sadly as of late a hail storm totaled out my 6th Gen I kept driving it then I spun a bearing and it began knocking, sadly I had to sell it but I wanna get another 6th Gen soon!
Hey, great video, thanks! I've changed a cuple actuators some years back on a truck and a jeep. My son now has a 01 Accord and theirs no air blowing thru any of the vents. When I put my hand on the passenger side actuator I feel a single thump. a lightly audible tic tic is heard just before the thump. This happens when he is pushing the button to change vent flow. Again there is zero air blowing thru the vents other than he has noticed a bit of forced air flow when driving highway speeds.
Trying to diagnose this without the car as he has gone to his house now. Thanks for any suggestions! Your vid is superb!
Thanks ...certainly took the broo-ha-ha out of dealing with the climate controls on my honda.
Really informative saved me a lot of money thank you!
Great video man. I subscribed. Keep up the great work.
interesting bridge at 0:42. saved my board. thank you!
you've done a very good job at describing the process. A+
Extremely helpful video sr
You saved me a bunch of money as I was going to replace the unit with a used one but the wire fixed it.
Love everything about this video!
After removing the grease on the internal contacts to permit cleaning them with sandpaper, did you replace the grease? What type is it? Does it need to be conductive? thank you for any insight available.
Very informative! Thanks for this video! Gonna fix my Accord's climate control tomorrow
Dude that was a very informative video exactly what's going on with my 2001 accord ...ac has stopped as is all push button panel switches like you showed. ... must say looks like a tough job if you don't know electronics like you....wish it was just a fuse! Aaaargh
Did all of this. Mine had funny grease too. Still not working right and I get no movement from actuator. What fuse/relay would work this?
Thank you for the video. This issue is fixed.
Tuviste ke soldar el alambre o solo limpiaste el motorcito
Did you put dialectic grease back on the contacts? Which grit sandpaper? THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Grat video. Worked perfectly. Thanks!

Awesome video! Thank you for taking the time helping so many of us. Cheers 🍻
thank you going to a u pick to get the same broken part you gave me a fix and step by step
Thanks for making this video. I’m going to try this tomorrow
A year later.... was it successful?
Awesome video , you should have way and I mean way more views and likes .
THANK YOU, It worked as reported Most Excellent. . .
Thanks for the details. Do you have one for the whole unit (except for the fan) stopping and starting intermittently?
