Followed your steps and cleaned up the actuator - just about an hour like you said. Good father-son project since he's taking the van to college... Thanks for the help!
I know you said they are not normally serviced, but I'd rather have the stock unit than a cheap replacement so if it's possible to save then it is worth it. Thanks for the video!
If you have dual-zone climate control up front, then your setup is different than the one depicted. I believe that you would have a separate blend door for the driver's side if dual zone.
@@TruckerReviewed yes. I took it to a shop. Did a complete recovery and flush with a professional ac machine. And resolve the issue. Blows cold everywhere now.
if you stopped your temp at mid temp would the arm stop in the middle? I installed a new one and it only has 2 positions, high and low. If I put the temp at say 75 the arm still goes to the low position.
Short answer is "yes, it will only move part way with middle temp settings." HOWEVER, it sounds like yours has a newer temperature setting that is digital readout, which means the motor will go full open/closed until the set-point is reached, then it will move to the middle position to be a steady state temperature. I don't know that for sure, but that is the only thing that makes sense.
Also, It looks like the 2005 doe s not have that tube. That started in 2006. I think the blower is directly connected to the evaporator core. The blend actuator should be accessible without having to remove much besides the glove box, according to this pic (LINK) f01.justanswer.com/H0ho0va7/ToyotaSienna.jpg
@@josephl6788 You have to loosen the bottom first, then move to the top and wiggly it toward the blower motor, then work back and forth from the bottom then to the top until you can get the bottom moved to the left and the top moved to the right. You should be able to drop it from there

That's the best! Working with your son to show him that not everything needs to be disposable! Glad it worked out well for you.

Agreed. I used to say "stock sucks" when I was modifying cars. Now I take them back to stock ASAP.
Hope this solve my problem mine blow cold air driver side and passenger hot air
I hope this is a quick solution for you!
I have the same problem, did replacing the actuator relieve the issue?
Mine moves but still only blows hot air on the driver's side, do you recommend replacing it ?

@ScottyWrenches I dont have dual zone climate controls
@@mr.selfdestruct1677I have the same issue. Were you ever able to resolve it?

Good video bud
Hope it helped!
I can't wiggle the black tube you took out. Mine is an 05.
You MUST remove the black push peg that is at the bottom near the blower motor before the tube is moveable. Check out video at the 5:00 mark.

@@ScottyWrenches Yes it has the black air tube and yes, I can wiggle is because the black peg has been removed. However, can't take it out.
