Excellent! It is refreshing when a car designer avoids nightmare repair procedures. Thank you for the video.

[@Referee583]

One of the best "How To" mechanic videos on TH-cam! Thank You

[@carattop]

I'm always amazed at how easy many things are to repair on my LeSabre... love it! Great video, thx!

[@DarkSplash99]

I think this the blend door actuator which controls the air temperature;?the vent mode actuator is a different piece.

[@joncuti7465]

My 04 lesabre custom blows colder on passenger side and also on defrost dash vent and passages vents at the same time ,what could be the problem?TY IN ADVANCE

[@ianowens6463]

You guys are the very best at making "how to" videos. Thank you!

[@davidlotto5346]

great video!! In my case the A/C only comes out of the feet and rear grille. Almost nothing comes out of the front grilles. Which component could be broken?

[@jrtiger22]

Great tutorial. I just replaced mine for my 05 LeSabre.

[@34tab]

Mine was doing the same- cold air on passenger side- warm on drivers. I thought that there were right and left actuators - not so. 2005 Buick lesabre . It was low on freon- added a can and blowing cold on both sides now. The actuator that he is showing us switches from ac to heat.

[@user-gu7nk9xd5h]

This actuator controls temperature for the passenger. There is another one directly opposite that controls the driver's temperature however this is not the mode door actuator. The mode door actuator is next to the pedals on the driver's side wedging a pretty tight location.

Test while glove box is out feel if motor is working

[@policeofficer94]

There are 3. All of my part numbers are stickers that have faded beyond recognition. Do you have part numbers for the manual base model with slide controls ??

[@datwonguy7126]

Will this help with the ac blower hot air

[@Ghostsamuel]

Ok under my glove box in a 2000 buick park avenue is different and I can't take out the old actuator and not sure what to do

[@imserious2187]

Where would this be on a 99 Bonneville?

[@cali8221]

Is a vent mode actuator the same as a ac actuator??

[@sauldean6430]

So it does not need recalibration?

[@dalebechtel8904]

Is this the actuator that controls the vents? My car it doesn’t seem to blow air out the vents that I select

[@cali8221]

My 06 buick lucerne cxl was blowing warm on the driver side ..i added freon and now its blowing cooler on passenger side and now warm on my side im so confused..Any help??

[@peezy134]

Do one on a Lucerne

[@guitarman4u44]

I can just take it off and open the blend door. Get the heat working snd leave it off.

[@cali8221]

I cnt find out how do change the blend door actuator on my 06 buick lucerne cxl

[@TRQ]

+Cali 82! We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@Strongishspore]

Would this be the part to replace if your ac is not coming out from the middle vents?

[@stonemanbytes]

No, they named this incorrectly. This one is a blend door actuator, what you need is a mode door actuator.

[@jimmycoleman5853]

Stonemanbytes what is mode door repair like? Similar to this?

[@Strongishspore]

Rip

[@user-gu7nk9xd5h]

This is not a mode actuator. This is a hot and cold actuator.

[@peezy134]

Not that easy on a Lucerne

[@gerardogandarilla5991]

Hiciste todo el trabajo pero no demostraste a si funcionó ?
