Marius, CT, NOV 2018 - Many, many, THANKS for this video !!!! Sears refused to do the job. A dealer asked for $500. I AM NOT MECHANIC AT ALL !!! I am 74, retired. I fixed the problem thanks to you !!! Good health and best wishes to you and to your family, Nick !!!!
Thank you for this !!!my actuator on the driver's side ,the motor went,no clicking,bought the $30 part from Ac Delco,put it in and Winner winner chicken dinner, took about an hour,saved mucho bucks,thanks again.p.s. even a blonde like me can do it, LMAO 🤣
Just a heads up. I found it a lot easier not to press down on the plastic flap but press upwards on the plastic flap directly above the previously mentioned plastic flap. If that makes sense.
I was getting 2 different knocks on mine ... behind the radio and behind the glove box. I had the bright idea to change them all out to make sure i dont have to get back under there again. there are 2 actuators behind the glove box, the one closest to the radio is the easiest. I'm about to change out the one under the driver side ... very informative . depending on where you get the part, its called a different name, kinda weird. thanks
This is like the hardest dumbest repair ever i stole all 3 from the junkyard and replaced all 3 hardest job ever hope it never fucks up again knock on wood it's been a week or so evruthing has been all good on my 06 impala !
Is it ok if I leave the actuator unplugged to stop the clicking noise? Is it bad for the car? I don't exactly have the funds to get it fixed. Any helped would be appreciated.
I have this same problem with my 2013 chevy impala the a/c blows cold but I get no hot air in anyway. if I unplugged the actuator in the glove box to stop the noise will I still get cold a/c or will that stop it from blowing as well??
KLAUS DELGADO sometimes but it's best to just replace it if you're having any problems because that is the reason that there's a difference between a temperature actuator and a modulator actuator
I don't know about you but the word M$%#*&r F*&(ker, was used lots of times by me when I had to change mine. Could they have made it any harder to exchange?
I was already pissed from having to replace the two on the passenger side. Then I go to use the driver heat and turns out I have to replace that too.. Absolute bullshit from GM. I've literally never had this issue on a Japanese car.
P. K. it's different in all models as far as the part number but the actuator is the word that you need to ask for at the parts store and it looks exactly like the one I showed in my video part numbers are specific to car model and are also trademark so your best bet is to ask for an actuator or a thermostat actuator
P. K. for instance mine is 604 - 10 7 for the heater actuator but the heater door blend with actually helps it move from defrost to front blow 2 foot is a different part for my vehicle is 604-10 8 most parts you can Google the part number for the vehicle specifics
Nick Mi Thanks i really appreciate all the help. Has not started to make any clicking noises. So its hard to determine. Only thing is when i want heat in the morning passenger side 2 vents are hot and my driver side 2 are a/c cold. I have a 2011 impala lt with the dual climate controls.
On my second replacement of both servo motors. I'm getting good at it but I wonder why and what fucking genius came up with this stupid idea, When we used to do it with wires and cables that never failed.
What pisses me off is that this has been happening for many years in the GM vehicles and they haven't improved the actuator. Tiny, baby plastic gear inside and its teeth brake off. That's why the banging noise.

Thanks! Mine is doing it now on the driver side, it’s driving me crazy, I’m gonna replace it on my day off
Does a bad actuator cause the heat/defroster to
Work and not work ?
I have clicking sound on dash, right above middle vents. What side actuator wouls it be,or is it a different problem. Any tips would help me out alot
Thank you this side was pain in the butt i appreciate the video
Hey I just wanted to say I appreciate the video, I was able to fix my impala today because of it, first major fix I've done myself before.
Very good information. My husband is going to try to fix it...wish us luck!
Thanx dude. I just bought this car and of course 2nd day of the lot this bullshit starts tapping making me fukin crazy
Hello ! Have I to change the it or can I just take off ?? Thanks
Is it ok if I leave the actuator unplugged to stop the clicking noise? Is it bad for the car? I don't exactly have the funds to get it fixed. Any helped would be appreciated.
Duel Links it will keep clicking for about a minute or two it is already broken so u can't brake it any further but it will get annoying
Yo did this lead to any further problems? My ghetto mechanic just unplugged it as well and I’m kinda scared
The actuator just controls which vents your ac comes out of. It won’t damage your engine or anything.
So what if my car doesn’t have a center console ? Than would it be a lot easier to get to it??
I have this same problem with my 2013 chevy impala the a/c blows cold but I get no hot air in anyway. if I unplugged the actuator in the glove box to stop the noise will I still get cold a/c or will that stop it from blowing as well??

thanks bro...just replaced the passenger side actuator, wasn't to much trouble, now about to replace the driver side, not looking forward to it!
Great info .helped tremendously

I had a guy at O'Reilly's tell me I went wrong with buying an American car when I bought an actuator and I honestly couldn't agree more
i have a really good question. Does this shit happen on GMC Acadia's ?
Cesar Salinas yes most of the new cars theses days have them if they have duel climate control h
+Nick Mi Alright thanks man. Now gotta fix that shit lmao
never happend on my Suburban or my Cadillac and my daughter had a Saturn Ion and that didn't do it either while she had it
Lol dab cart at 2:27
was thinking I was the only one who saw it lol
just fucking replaced mine. fuck that damn part loud ass shit from hell.
Steve - O and a bitch 2 change but it can be done by hand
You have a part numbet?. Mine is giving me ac when i want heat on my driver side. Thanks

P. K. here's the website I searchm.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/a-c-heater-blend-door-actuator/chevrolet/impala
P. K. it sounds like to me that yours would be an actuator and not heater door blend

Thanks i really appreciate all the help. Has not started to make any clicking noises. So its hard to determine. Only thing is when i want heat in the morning passenger side 2 vents are hot and my driver side 2 are a/c cold. I have a 2011 impala lt with the dual climate controls.
it took me 6 hrs to get that damn part off and put the new one on!
The car im fixing does it by itself and no key in the ignition and think its killing the battery over night
does i5 affect your battery😭
On my second replacement of both servo motors. I'm getting good at it but I wonder why and what fucking genius came up with this stupid idea, When we used to do it with wires and cables that never failed.

I need One from Amazing!
it seems that ac actuators in New cars anit worth a fly f&_$ Chevy, Ford, Dodge......
Just replaced all 3 hope it never happens again!!!!!!!
Where are all 3 located at?
Thanks that the side mind on
2014 does it to
if you do change yours make a video
if your doing this repair just remove the glovebox and you can access the part easily.
Hey Stupid-Steve.... it's the driver side!
