You're fast ! Thanks for the video, it might help me replacing the black plastic, I replaced the motor with out popping out the vent , and I can't get it back in place to align with the screw Holes,
I have a 2010 Impala LT. Heat thru vent and floor, but front defrost will not work when selected. I removed the Mode selector and the drive shaft on the selector turns when the car is on and I select different air flow vents i.e., change from defrost to vent then to floor, the shaft on the part moves. I can hear the selector motor working when it's connected in its home as well, but I still do not get any defrost. As a side note, the last time the defrost worked I heard a thunk in the dash as it switched to defrost. Any ideas? Thanks
So i was not sure if you could do it without the programmer. Fortunately where I work they have a fleet of Impalas. So I replaced an actuator without the scan tool. I did pull the Hvac fuse though, until I had the new actuator installed. After the fuse was reinstalled, the new actuator worked fine and was no different than if I had used the scan tool. Can I guarantee that is the case everytime? No! But right now I would say yes you can replace it without a scan tool.
worked for me without the calibration tool, followed this instruction exactly. figured id try and if it didnt work id take it somewhere just for calibration but looks like I wont need to
No matter what setting I try it only works through the front vents it doesn’t work if I switch it to come out the bottom either in my dashboard defrost doesn’t work either could that be the same problem you just fixed? I have a 2012 Chevy impala LTZ any help would be greatly appreciate ‼️
@Robby Sabados I had a mode motor circuit code, can't remember the number forsure b0233? But mode motor tested good when removed from vehicle. But plugged in it wouldn't work. I ended up replacing it and everything started working. I was just trying to figure out why the motor was bad when I could actuate the motor when not attached to the hvac box. But when attached it wouldn't calibrate or work. But it is all good now
@@brenthorton5003 yes I had to program it to work. It was a bad motor but when out the vehicle it would work. Replaced it, programmed it and everything is working
hey guys not saying it will work for you but i just did mine without calibrating tool, i dont have one, and it worked for me. good luck

Thank u so much I follow your exact directions and now mind is working great
Only had vent/floor heat - NO defrost in Minnesota not good. Great vid and the actuator change out fixed my issue in the Impala!!! Thanks again!!
Thanks for the video.
Do you have to have a scan tool to calibrate the new door? I don't have one. I was wondering if there are any other methods?
That’s what I’m wondering
Thank you. This was a great help.
Take 2 pins out of the bottm of the golve box and remove the glove box, all of it is now out of the way.

Will it work still if you do not have a programmer?

Do you need to re-program it ?
Did you replace this on yours ?
Do you think the 03 impala has this in the back of its dash too???
What if you can't program cause I have 13 that is doing the same thing
Hey brother, did you have a hvac code before you started the repair?
