Thank you so much for posting this video as you got me in the right spot and my problem was much different the actuator was not broken but Honda had Twisted the wires up and I think one of the wires was intermittently shorting out and that's why it wouldn't work.... I'll repost in a few weeks but that was certainly the problem cuz it wouldn't work at all and now it works every time
Excellent, had this exact problem and did essentially the same diagnostic, but in my case, the actuator didn't move when plugged, and the arms moved (with some effort). In my case, some previous owner had installed a Sirius XM radio adapter and the rats-nest of cords obscured the actuator, taking up my time. Gonna take out the actuator and see if it's stuck now, thanks for the guide.
Great vid! Lotta people get the blend actuator mixed up with the mode actuator. I have a similar issue on a 2000 Prelude. Air is only blowing on the windshield. I was misguided into removing the blend actuator.
Maybe for the 1998 accord the mode door actuator is on the driver side, but I have a 2004, and it is the blend door actuator that's on the driver's side. The mode door actuator is on the right side.
Luckily mine wasn’t the issue it was the arms on the heater box. I googled the part number and saw some on eBay. Google “denso 063700-4833” I hope this helps!
Hard to diagnose without seeing it. It could be a possibility if the door is shut closing the heater core off. There is a shut off valve under the hood in the heater line that is know for coming unhooked. I would check there first. Good luck my friend!

Thanks as it was helpful to check my actuator and removal of the bottom dash was easy. Great video.
Glad it helped

I am glad it helped and you were able to fix it.
concise, no BS, and straight to the point! thanks
I have a 95 Accord, so I will keep this in mind. Thank you Chester!

i have a problem where mine just will randomly turn on even the on off side

Are you talking about the recirculating actuator on the passenger side? On the prelude there is a mode actuator and recirc actuator.

Hell yes thank you brother this video works perfectly I found exactly what my issue was
Glad this video helped you!
Where did you buy the part? I can’t find it anywhere!

Isn’t that the mode one? The actuator determines the temp right
Yes, as it was pointed out in the comments below that is actually the mower door not the blend door.
Mode
Would this make it not blow hot air? It blows good cold but doesn't blow hot.

That's a mode door. Not a blend door. Blend door blends hot and cold
Thank you for taking time out of your day to correct me. To all of my viewers it’s a mode door not a blend door.
