thank you, ....much like you I tried almost everything and nothing seem to work until I came across your video. The way I fixed it was not taking apart much other than lowering down glove box and gently touching mechanism while changing between the modes. I cleaned grease or whatever was there sightly yellow and slightly harden paste and applied fresh grease. All works now, thanks again!
I think my 2010 crv has this issue. Great explanation of which part is where and which part affects the mode. I got the old one out and having one hell of a time getting the new one in. Limited space, limited vision and cable bundle in the way just make this a real fun job. I have replaced mode motors in a 98 Civic and that was easy compared to this. I am glad I spent the extra money for the honda part cause I dont wanna do this again.
this was the best vid I watched, I do need both parts the blend door for heat on the driver side and the mode door so it will switch out of defrost mode where it gets stuck. The passenger cool/heat works fine.
In 2009 CRV I had the same problem. After watching this video, I looked at the mode actuator and felt the green connector which was actually not fully in. I pulled it out and plugged it back in. That's all it took.
1. Thank you posting your experience w the previously listed incorrect parts - this helped in narrowing down to the real issue (difficult to return parts if not needed). 2. It really helps in showing how the actuator working at the end of the video so we know how it is supposed to be functioning, once installed correctly. 3. For a temporary fix (like my case, no time to order parts and install before a trip in a hot week where I needed the AC to blow out of the upper vent), all I did was drop the glovebox, pressed down on the flat black plastic piece, that’s supposed to rotate, wiggle it a bit, and it started to rotate with the button and brought air to the correct vent. I intend to leave the AC on when shutting off the car, so the vent mode stays in the desired position, until permanent fix.
It wouldn't surprise me to have spent $300 on this. Thanks so much for helping me name the part and find it. This is the only video I've found for the CRV HVAC mode actuator. NOTE, I bought what Amazon called a "heater blend door actuator compatible with civic 2006-2011 Mode Motor Assembly" It was $33 and has the white piece that rotates to move the panel doors. I thought I'd try this rather than the one that looked the same and was only the black box for $72. Installed today and works as it should. Replace part # 604-879, also marked 79140SNAA01.
Great video and I certainly impressed my husband fixing the AC on my car which had only been working coming from the floor vents. Gotta love TH-cam! I just followed your directions and wiggled the cables around once I got in there and it started working. Did not even have to replace a part’
Omg finally a video on this having same issue in my woman’s car! I did the exact same thing and replaced the blend door actuator on driver side and didn’t fix it. Lol. Thanks for this video! Got the part ordered and will take passenger side apart when it arrives
First Start the car turn on the defrost if that is the one you want to work. Unplug and plug back in the blend-door, this will reset the little computer and start working. Great Video, all these have little computer's in them, this worked on my 1998 Honda Accord.
So my sisters 1998 Honda Accord is only blowing air through the bottom vents. So if I disconnect the blend door actuator and connect it back it should work?
props man. I took my crv to a shop and they told me they can't get to the part under the driver seat. he tells me to take it to honda. I'm glad I didn't listen to him, he tells me it's the blend door. i take it home and started to google. came across your video. I see the part but decided not to deal with it at the moment. before I close everything back up I decided to wiggle the black piece a bit. holyshit my vents started to work again. I have a feeling the piece is starting to go bad so I'll keep an eye on it. thanks again!
I have 2011 and having the same issue. What was the part number or where did you get yours at? I saw it on Rockauto just wondering if you got it locally at Autozone for example.
@@claytonwoodruff920 I actually haven’t fixed it yet but now that I’ve seen your reply I’m going to order it this weekend. I typically order OEM Honda parts from online because it’s cheaper than going to the dealership.
I didn't remove my glove box crv 2009 , on 2009 isn't black like the video shown on 2010 crv but its same identical just colored blue. I spun it towards up twice and cleaned the grease a little bit, left little greace to stay lubricated. Thanks for the video I got misled like you before I found you on tube. Thanks
Thanks a lot bro I temporary spun it till started blowing in the air then started working properly after couple hand spins started turning on its own. U save me lot lot lots of $ and trouble. Thanks
The Civic has the simpler actuator - I just replaced it and manually jammed it into front-vent mode. No defrost. I drive in Texas and fed up almost having heat strokes at the red light
Thaks for posting this video Sir. It was a pain on the ass to get my fingers in there but it worked. I am also just a human who identifies he/him. Thanks again!
Replaced the actuator in my Civic this weekend. Tight place to work. Place masking tape temporarily to keep the actuator in place while Replacing the screws. If accessible it would be a 5 minutes job. The way it sits, can take a good 45 minutes. Just be patient
If this particular thing stopped working sometimes but not on the other day and if you can pull it out of course, most of the time the problem is just from the motor inside. Spray the motor with generous amount of electronic contact cleaner and your problem solved.
Sadly, I ordered that same part number from rock auto. 1712483 it would not spin when I installed it… so I went back to the site and found out 1712483 is actually an actuator for an accord not a CR-V and they won’t refund it because it’s already installed. 🤦🏻♀️ Part 1712747 is the correct part for a CR-V. They look identical but I have not had success with the accord part. Just wanted to fwd that info.
I ordered the 1712747, watched the video again and thought I ordered the wrong part. Looked up the part number on the video, and yes, its to a Accord. I dodged a bullet there. Sorry about your guys luck.
My wifes CRV will not change to defrost. Heat and air work fine, but will only flow through the front vents when I hit defrost. Do you happen to know which one controls defrost?
yeah my Nephew sounds like he experiencing the same issue.....Hey Nephew.....lol...don't go by his part# because you have a 2012 CRV....his part # is for a different model...but same fix...
Great video! Thanks! The modes on my 2010 CRV weren’t changing, so I replaced this part but only two modes are working - the first mode (front) actually blows the windshield defrost, and the last mode (windshield defrost) blows down to the feet. When I press the three modes in between, nothing happens. The only modes that change are the first and last. What did I do wrong?
I was feebly fumbling it into place to get the screws threaded and finally got all 3 partially threaded. I tried the mode buttons to see if it would work and something snapped into place. Works fine now. Maybe you have one of the two "panel door arms" slotted into the white plastic rotator piece in the wrong position?
The part number 1712483 crosses to 2008-2011 Accord, will it work for the 2010 CRV? I understand that manufacturers will use parts across many models, I'm only asking because I have to order it and want to be sure its the part I need.
So the mode door selector actuator is part number Gpd part # 1712483 Is that the part I need to make to air switch from floor to defrost to straight at me ?
What happens when you have replaced even this part and nothing happens?! I have changed all the parts you mentioned. If anyone can provide another solution I will be eternally grateful!
Jose read my comment on top if you have a 2010 Honda CR-V Mexico built I tell you how to test the mode selector and blend motor if you doesn’t work might be the ac control unit on dash
@@hookednrolling2009 I have a 2011 CRV and none of the MODEs change. Air stays at vents only. Also only have cold air on driver's side and no hot. Could it be the Mode Actuator and a Blend Door Actuator? Seems odd that both stopped working. I don't see any comments from you on how to run a test? Thanks!
The part number he has in the video is for a Accord. Not a CRV or Civic. Enter the exact information of your car on the site. Not just the part number in the video. Very informative video though. Thanks!
Hi there so this is my Problem when I turn on the heater system no matter if is could or hot on the driver side nothing change but on the Passenger side it does work how it suppose to so replacing this part would fix my problem ? or we talking about a different part, the MODE function seems to be working fine is just the Heat and could on the driver site. 2010 CRV EX 4WD.
Does it work sometimes like intermittent might need some grease on linkage and arms if not need mode selector motor or ac control unit on dash go up to top and read my comment I tell how to test the ac system by using the computer JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐟🐠🎣🛥🌴⛱🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Not throw stones at your video but you gave out the wrong part number, Mode Door Actuator is Part Number 1712747 from Rock Auto, not part number 1712483. Guess I should have done my research but I figured since it was the same make model and year you got the right number but no such luck. Need to return what I just got today and order the correct part.
thank you, ....much like you I tried almost everything and nothing seem to work until I came across your video.

This is probably the best video I’ve seen. Part numbers locations and what needs to be taken apart to gain access. Thank you so much sir.
Almost changed blend door on Pilot, canceled order and bought mode actuator after this video and did job ONCE. Thank you.
Your video helped me out tremendously! Just replaced the mode actuator in the wife’s CRV today. Took some time, but saved us money!

When you say "Mode" button, do you mean Def or AC button or both?
I found that my actuator was stuck and can be restored by applying grease on the gears inside, as the motor is still working.
I'm a new car owner and idk much about cars. What grease did you use and where/how did you apply the grease?
@@trucemane8629 I used Coastal All Purpose grease and applied to the moving part.
