Thanks for this how-to. I succeeded in replacing both passenger side blend door actuators today - but you do need a LOT of patience! One fixing screw for each actuator is out of sight at the back of the actuator and I needed a mirror and a lot of fiddling to get to them
Okay I have a 2014 Dodge Charger & when I turn the heat on it only warms up on the passenger side & blows cold on the driver side. ( WHICH Actuator would I replace? ) driver or passenger?
CAn you get to the Evap or evaporate drain hose from here? I need to spray some Evap foam cleaner to get rid of the a/c smell and I’m having trouble finding the tube for the drain
How exactly do you know which side actuator has failed? I adjusted the temperature to the highest heat setting in my vehicle. He was blowing out of the driver side, but cold air was blowing from the passenger side. So basically the wrong temperature was blowing out of the passenger side. Should I replace the passenger side actuator?
Process of elimination. If the passenger side is not operating correctly then I would start at that side. Once you have that side open for inspection, I would then try and mess with your ac settings and see if things change.
its not necessary to do all you did or to take off the glovebox just remove plastic under the glovebox it takes you 10 seconds and you will be able to see all the components
Can somebody please help me? I think my actuator needs to be replaced because it makes a clicking noise for 30 seconds everytime I start my car up and then it goes away until the next time I turn it on. But it sounds like it’s coming from underneath the dashboard on the driver side
I’ve replaced this passenger one 2 times and it keeps breaking after a week or so? I make sure it’s lined up and I make sure it set right before mounting back in ? Any idea why it stays breaking ? I’ve checked fuses and wires all are good ? It’s like it’s keeps turning to the point it breaks the little plastic gears in side ? Any help would be appreciated .
No idea why it would keep breaking unless it is being installed improperly or it's just a bad quality part. Before you replace it with another one, I'd make sure there isn't a deeper issue within the vehicle.
This recently happened to mine are they on both sides or just passenger side? Another question my driver side ac blows hot air out sometimes when I put the cold ac on
andrew carrillo I think it's all on the passenger side. Not 100% sure on that. I had kind of the same issue with the hot air on one side (really weird) but it turned out to be a very slow leak in the AC system. If you can see the actuators move all the way in both directions, then I'd start looking somewhere else
@@scottarant5741 my best guess would be that it is one of the blend doors. Either that, or somehow the Uconnect software wasn't allowing the other side of the car to do what you're telling it to.
@@jaredstaggs what does the difference in air speed mean? my driver's side blows cold when heat is maxed and my passenger side blows hot. the drivers side, regardless of ac/no ac and any temp, seems like the vents are closed and barely any air comes out but the vents are definitely open.
Tina Ross the actuator should be on the left side of the blower fan. You can see it at 3:06 of the video. If you can't locate it, you can always turn the car to "on" and on your screen, mess around with the temp settings for both sides and then you can just look at which parts are moving to find the right one.
Tina Ross you might try recharging it with refrigerant (R-134A) since that would be the cheapest way. If that doesn't work, then you know it's going to be a more involved fix. If you're not too mechanically inclined, you could always take it to either a dealership or shop that you trust. Dealerships usually charge a flat rate to just diagnose the problem.
MrMerk1991 yes. Those actuators shown here are for the blend doors. If yours moves fine then I would look at the actual ac system. Might be a leak somewhere within the lines or even low on refrigerant.
I installed a new one and the a/c is not working normal. Do you think a bad one can make weird things happen with your a/c? Or does it need to be reset/re-calibrated?
Nolverto Estrada Barriga I can't say 100% yes, but seeing as the 2015-current models have basically the same interior as this one, I wouldn't be surprised if it did work.

Glad I could be of service!
Thank you. This helped for my 2015 Chrysler 300
Thank you! This helped me with my 2016 charger
Have you done the drive side ?
Excellent video! Great lighting and description! We’ll done. Thank you.
Nice how to. Doing one of mine on my 2011 this weekend, thankfully it's one of the passenger side ones.
Dave B Thanks and good luck!
I have no heat coming out of the front vent or sides. Do u know which actuator changes the door
Which one under there is the actual blend door actuator
Thank you so much. This was very helpful.:)
ch ra glad I could help!
Okay I have a 2014 Dodge Charger & when I turn the heat on it only warms up on the passenger side & blows cold on the driver side. ( WHICH Actuator would I replace? ) driver or passenger?
I would guess the driver side. Passenger side is doing what it's told to do.
Those bolts are 6mm hex head or philips btw. 1/4 inch is too small

Had to Replace mine, keep making a Clickin noise, Nice Video.
Thanks! I was having trouble with my passenger side not getting cold. Turned out to just be a leak in the condenser.
Oscar Cortez is that blend door on the passenger side for both sides, of just passenger?
Thank you thank you thank you
Great video 🍻🍻

Cap
Do you know what the actuator on the Fan motor is it the recirculation actuator?
Can somebody please help me?

Where is the blower motor resistor located?
Can you get to the hvac drain hose?

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger. changed the thermostat and my heat still blows cold. I don’t hear a clicking noise but could it still be my blend door?
If you can visually see your blend doors move when you try to change from hot to cold, then no.
When I use the heat it works great on the driver side, but to the middle and passenger side it blows cold air, would that be a blend door?
Do you notice a difference in air speed on the vents?
@@jaredstaggs Not much difference.
@@scottarant5741 my best guess would be that it is one of the blend doors. Either that, or somehow the Uconnect software wasn't allowing the other side of the car to do what you're telling it to.
@@jaredstaggs what does the difference in air speed mean? my driver's side blows cold when heat is maxed and my passenger side blows hot. the drivers side, regardless of ac/no ac and any temp, seems like the vents are closed and barely any air comes out but the vents are definitely open.
Is this whats causing that ticking noise mines does it but it stops eventually on my 2013 charger
It's very possible
@@jaredstaggs its seems simple to replace but the guy at my mechanic shop says it'll take a couple of days i cant be without a car that long lol
@@brandonabel6939 I did all of that very quickly. They must think that there is more wrong to take that long
@@jaredstaggs it seems simple to fix
we have a 2014 dodge charger blowing ac only cold on drivers side hot on passengers side how do i know where the door is after i take all that off

i'm not very smart lol i'm told replacing the door could be the fix or that it needs more freon any suggestions

How much would you charge for the procedure
Do you k ow what the screw size is by chance
Holding the glove box
My ac on the driver side blows hot. Passenger works fine. Is that the blend door? Is that in the same location your showing?
MrMerk1991 yes. Those actuators shown here are for the blend doors. If yours moves fine then I would look at the actual ac system. Might be a leak somewhere within the lines or even low on refrigerant.
jared staggs thanks for the quick reply bud
MrMerk1991 did you fix your issue? My 2015 charger blows cold air on both sides but only hot air on the passenger side, drivers side remains cold.
@@robertgonzalez6946 yes it was the blend doors getting stuck easy fix.
@@MrMerk1991 thanks!! I heard there's 4 of them 2 on each side. Hopefully I will find the right one
I installed a new one and the a/c is not working normal. Do you think a bad one can make weird things happen with your a/c? Or does it need to be reset/re-calibrated?
Will this work on a 2015 charger

Is this for the driver side or no
This was done on the passenger side
Would this work on a 2013 300?
I would guess so since these 2 cars are based off the same platform. They would use a lot of the same parts but some designs would differ.
2015???
I wonder if its the same for a 2014 chrysler 300 srt8
There's a good chance that it will somewhat be like this
Did u get yours fix victor
