Nice video. My heat blows even where the AC is on. I changed the thermostat and housing etc. Didn't fix it. I thought from feeling this excessive heat my transmission was getting hot, I went to get the tranny checked. It was fine, he said that would almost be impossible to happen unless your transmission was basically blown. Anyhow I searched the tube and found your video. I will try the same replacement as you. My circulating button flashes like yours did. And actually sometimes when I turn off the car, there is a clicking from the dash. I hope this works... Thanks for the information!!
The bottom line is you got it working and that works for me too bro, a couple of suggestions to make it easier putting the screws back, try a magnetic driver or a poor man screw holder using a piece of tape, (punch the screw thought the tape and tape it to the shaft of the driver)
Yeah my biggest problem was I couldn’t see where I was putting the screws, I definitely needed another magnetic screw driver though, I had one, with the extendable head and it was jammed inside, rough times
My 2012 charger, same actuator went out. Nightmare getting it out. I’m big so it was difficult. I took the wires off last. Big mistake. Take them off first like you did. The charger uses t20 screws. Your probably uses the same. I tried for an hour to put the new one in then we got a forest fire down the road. So had to slap the dodge back together. I’ll try to put it in again later. At least I have air conditioning again at the beginning of summer. How did you get your unit back in? Next time I just may pay a shop to do this one.
I ended up laying on the floorboard on my back and putting it in upside down. I had to use a magnetic extension screwdriver head to reach it, it was a pain but it worked out in the end.
That’s what I was hoping at first too, got the coolant flushed, didn’t work then thermostat changed, didn’t work so trial and error brought me here lol
Im having a problem with my 21 scat. My heat only works on hi. From 70-84 it just blows. No heat at all. Took to the dealer but they cant find the problem
I don’t know for certain but I think it’s the same, I actually tried this one for both, the one that was easier to reach from this angle of course wasn’t the fix so I tried it on the harder to reach one and it worked
@@beezy9beezy did you need to recalibrate them with a scan tool? I received mine yesterday and it had a little note saying it needs to be recalibrated with a scan tool or it won't work.
@@beezy9beezy yea,no calibration needed,I bought the dorman brand, installed it and tested it before putting everything back together,and it's working,got rid of the clicking and creaking I was having.
Hi Do the little lines on the actuators have be lined up some specially way. You pointed out the grooves on the gear, as well do they have to be a certain direction? Thanks
Honestly, it was a bit of guess and check, they need to be lined up but it’s very hard to see if it’s line up or not so i put it in, started it and tried it out
@@swissarmywife2039 after market, I just went into autozone or advanced, one of those chain parts stores and told them I need a blend door actuator, funny story, when I told him, he immediately asked me if my heater stopped working, said he had the same problem like a month before

Good luck! I went out on a limb myself, not the easiest process but it worked!
It's probably what it is. Mine wasn't opening so I had no heat. Now its a smooth operation. ✅
Did you replace it
What’s the name of the part again?
Brother, Thank you for making the video. The clear shot of the PN: and instruction was on target.
glad to be of assistance!

Bro....... everything that happened to you happened to me. I was rubbing my face like Curley on the 3 Stooges dealing with those screws
So aggy!

Great video. My heater isn’t working either. It actually starts blowing heat then switches to cold 🥶 hopefully it’s just needs coolant
That’s what I was hoping at first too, got the coolant flushed, didn’t work then thermostat changed, didn’t work so trial and error brought me here lol
Me to
Yeah on my way to auto zone now🥶🏃🏽♀️
Nice good luck!

I can't figure out how to get the one new part in
It was pretty aggravating, I had to basically lay upside down to get to it
On the driver side, there's 2 actuators,do you know if those 2, are the same actuators/part number?
I don’t know for certain but I think it’s the same, I actually tried this one for both, the one that was easier to reach from this angle of course wasn’t the fix so I tried it on the harder to reach one and it worked

@@angelcedeno26 nope, bout it in store and just put it in, worked for me but I’m no mechanic, could have just gotten lucky, could not need it at all

@@angelcedeno26 NICE!!
What is that part called
Blend door actuator
I’m doing mine right now and I have no idea how to get this damn thing out the space is so small
It’s very small, trial and error mostly but I’m a large guy, I laid on my back and did it upside down

@@adsbadsb9488 no problem, good luck!
How long did it take you to get everything done?
2-3 hours total but I stopped and restarted a few times
@@beezy9beezy could you list out the tools you used please?
@@ferponch16 pliers, star (torx) bit, screw driver with magnetic extension
Did you have to do any calibration?
Nope none at all
@@beezy9beezy did you use OEM or a aftermarket like a dorman ?

Was your car overheating?
No it wasn’t, I changed the thermostat first though just off of trial and error
It's doi.g that because you have it on auto and do not have the vents on an Ac Setting
Nope. This fixed it.
