- This video shows how to diagnose and how to replace the blend door actuators on a 2003 Buick Century. This car has the duel manual temperature control which allows you to adjust temperatures on the driver and passenger side separately. There are two levers. If you have one or two bad blend-door actuators, the problem you will have is when you may want to have AC, one side may blow hot air and the other cold; or, when you want warm air, one side may blow cold air and the other warm. Or, both sides may be stuck only on warm or only on cold. This video will show you how to locate and replace BOTH actuators.

Chuck if every video was a thorough as this one the world would be a better place.
You make changing that very easy to understand. Great video.
@@jennycrawford386 Thanks, glad it helped!
Great video. I had this problem where my 2003 Buick Century’s passenger-side A/C would just randomly switch over to heat from A/C for no reason and I could have only assumed it was due to the actuator. With the help of your video, I was able to take out my old actuator…only to find out the new one I got from Rock Auto was defective and didn’t move once I had it installed. I ended up just putting the old one back in. 😅 Thank you for the helpful video, though!
You sure got lucky! I followed your video... plugging in the actuator before mounting it. I had to purchase a new actuator because I ruined the calibration beyond recovery (even with a scan tool) on the first replacement actuator. The second one, I mounted before plugging in, then ran a calibration using scan tool... Good to go. Glad I got good deals on the actuators. BTW, AutoZone will price match a product if it is the same and has same warranty. Got an actuator for $19.45 that they wanted $139.98 for.
where did you find the $19.45 actuator at? thanks
Michael Fogle amazon more than likely
You definitely have to know which way the door opens and closes, where the old one is positioned, and put the new one in that same position. It's definitely tricky, but glad you eventually got it. Hopefully it saved you some money instead of paying someone a bunch of cash to say they need to rip your whole dash out and then they don't, but charge you a $1000 anyway. Thanks for the comment and clarification.
Very well done , quite discriptive , thank you for being such a great explainer .
Really help ful bro I got a 2000 Buick century
Thanks, glad it helped!
Thank you for the video. Got it changed out and the ac is blowing cold again.
Your video was more explained than the others,thank you so much for making it much easier and less costly!!! 👌👌👌
Yes, you're right, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't an electrical problem before putting it back together. You definitely have to make sure the knob on the blend door fits into the actuator. Thanks
great video. I wish I knew you can test the actuator not installed. I found out that a new actuator I had installed actually did not work.
Thank you for this video and if you have any other common issues with the 2003 Buick Century please share them with me. I am trying to keep mine alive for as long as possible. Thank you again. Michael Fogle
Is it still alive?
Thank you for this video!! Great explanation!!
Thankyou for this video
Great video. Very helpful.
Great video Sir! Thank you!
You're welcome, I hope it helps!
My 2002 Buick Regal just started having this issue my Blend Door Actuator is making a weird sound
Glad it helped!
Thanks, hope it helps you!
Very helpful! Thanks, Do you have the pick 6 numbers for this week?
@@AlbertPelletier-z5h Ha! Glad it helped!
Thank you bro!!!
Did you take the drivers seat out to get to the drivers side?
Thank you!!!!!!!!
Thank u big help
My issue with my 2003 is that the AC comes out freezing and then the drivers side begins to get warm...there was a freon leak that was fixed but same problem when I drive for about 20 min. This is AZ so not an option not to have. Do you think it is the actuator
Actuators both working. Fixed break in vacuum line but still warm on driver side cold on passenger
Not sure what to tell you, when I messed with mine, I was able to turn the knobs with pliers to open/close the doors, and when that worked, I could get warm or cold air on either side. After that
I put actuators in. If those doors are definitely open and closing a 100%, then it's probably some other problem (maybe left side not open/close all the way and blocked by something, sorry, can't help you more. If for some reason the driver side vent became disconnected, maybe that could be a problem.
I F thats the case, then driver side may not get real hot because it would be leaking air somewhere. Maybe compare left and right and see if both get equally hot-since hot works on both sides. Good luck
@@chuckles2993 After taking the the controller out and part of the dash, i took the car to a garage and the did a pressure test and said i was low on Freon. i added Freon, but I guess not enough.. they drained the system and refilled. 60 degrees now and I'm cold. lol. $180 but its worth it to not have to sweat in this 90 degree 85% humidity. Thanks Chuck
Your blend door is bad just replace it
My blend door knob doesn't turn by hand. Driver's side. 99 Buick Century Limited with automatic controls.
I want to brake it free.
Does the car have to be turned to power before it will turn?
Any ideas will be helpful.
Thanks
I had a peice paper get sucks up into the air return thing by passenger feet and now it's stopping that from going into hot or cold
Hi, I have a 2003 Buick Century just replaced blower motor but nothing coming in car all fuses and power in new blower fine, Turn on climate control hear it on BUT NOTHING !! NEED HELP PLEASE??
What would cause both to quit all at once
If I would guess, maybe one was stuck open and the other one was stuck closed. If you think about it, what gives you heat or cool air is if the door is open or closed. This would have a direct impact on whether you wanted to heat the car or cool it. That is sometimes why one side seems to work in the other wouldn't. Again, it's just a guess. Good luck
my issue is on the regal, speed and fan goes from low medium and high and can hear the blower but what is comiing out of the vents is barely anything i feel it on the floor . Putting it to MID barely anything comes out when blower is on high (can hear the blower is on high as well and selectors in climate control)
check you blower motor and cabin filter for contamination
@@brysonstamper2648 i did the cabin filter and the sensor that is down there. I also checked the "doors" and they were fine. I think that i didnt seal the bottom of the blower motor well and it might be leaking out ... thank you for the reply...
2000 Buick LeSabre. 3 modulators. Only have defrost and floor. Manually removed the 2 actuators, drivers side and passenger side. 3rd is located behind fan box. What a bitch to get to. Can’t access it. Can’t fix it. So… suggestions!?
Air conditioning line's how to change them
What actuator is under the dash that if it goes bad it makes your car tick
Is there ticking when you adjust the heat/cool setting? If so, the vent door may be stuck, and the plastic gear is stripped or stripping when trying to open or close. IF this is the case, you should be able to take off the actuator, then turn the knob manually, carefully by hand or pliers and unstick it, don't use too much force though. Hope that helps!
I see my still moving but no cold air coming out when i turn the ac on but it is cold on passenger side.
If I understand you, you see the actuator gear turning on the driver side. I'm assuming the actuator is still in. If so, maybe the door is stuck and the plastic gears are stripped. IF this is your situation, take out actuator, turn metal knob that actuator gears go on to, and turn with fingers, if won't move in either direction, use pliers, and gently go in either direction to see if moves from open to closed or vise versa. From what I learned, the door gets stuck, then the plastic gears strip in the actuator. Hope this helps, good luck!
I need help
Helpful! Would’ve been better if you didn’t repeatedly explain how to use a car climate control system, though lol.
Your not supposed to turn it on before you put it in
No one makes a video for the Century's sister the Regal and it makes me angry
Literally most of the videos are for the century and the regal and century are literally the same car so who cares
@@michaelbeck2986 they aren't the same car at all. They have the same body style. That's it
