Blend Door Actuator Replacement Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban 2007-2014
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มี.ค. 2016
- Today on 2CarPros we show you how to replace the blend door actuator motor on a Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban and this video guide will also work on a GMC Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL between the years of 2007-2014. To see the different locations go here www.2carpros.com/articles/rep...
The HVAC control module will relearn the actuator limits whenever power is disconnected and re-connected to the module.
Use the following steps to perform the calibration update:
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove the battery positive voltage circuit fuse of the HVAC Control Module.
IMPORTANT:
- The scan tool must be disconnected from the vehicle to properly perform the calibration procedure. If a scan tool is connected before this procedure is completed, then new calibration values will not be stored.
- Failure to wait 60 seconds will not allow the HVAC control module sufficient time to clear the old calibration values.
3. Wait 60 seconds.
4. Install the fuse.
5. Turn ON the ignition.
6. Wait 60 seconds before installing a scan tool.

Big thank you, worked perfectly for 2011 Silverado 1500. Part #604-106 at Autozone
Awesome! Thanks for watching Mario!
Dual control?
As always great work and videos thank you . Guys
Just subscribed for the driver's side ;-)
Great video. Just a suggestion to mention that the socket used to remove the trim panel is a 7mm
This is great and looks easy.....what is the part number that is needed for 2011 Silverado...driver side?
That music bro, I felt trapped in an elevator
elevator purgatory
Yes. The music made it hard to watch.
My air control door pivot broke when working on my blend door acuator. (2002 Yukon Xl) any tips on how to fix or replace it?
how do I get the new blend door actuator to go on the shaft it won't go on my -05 GMC savana 3500
Anyone know what orientation paddle in the middle should be in ? The new part came from the factory with it centered but my old part seemed to have it clocked differently?
Thanks for the great video !
Thanks for watching!
2007 Avalanche LTZ here. I thought it was my drivers side actuator (beside gas pedal) but it wasn't. Still having the problem of hot on drivers side/cold on passenger. I have the dual climate zone adjustments. I then took the working part and replaced the passengers side (have to remove kick plate, near centre panel two screws and a electrical connection tights quarters). Once the actuator is off you can move the flap it attaches to, and you'll see it controls the hot/cold on the drivers side. Figure out what position it should be in without the new part attached. If your part isn't centred correctly, you can move the part it attached onto so it aligns with the hole, if not you can plug it in without putting it on its mounts and see if that gets it in the correct position. The part that controls the opening and closing of the vents has two flat sides on a round opening and it has to align. Once done, remove the fuses for the HVAC (under hood) and let the hvac reset next time you turn on the car. It should work and you should hear it calibrating itself. Hope this helps as its a confusing job to tackle and dealers will charge an arm and a leg.
Is this replacement procedure works on 2011 Tahoe LT? And what would be the correct part number?
Thanks for the help I just replaced mine today and now it works like a dream!
Nice! Thanks for watching!
What was your symptoms
@@2carpros was this video for passenger or drivers side on the dual control?
Great video, it was a great help and identical location for my 2009 Silverado LTZ . I had the AC on high and would get hot air on the driver side and cold on the passenger side, this was the fix. You will need a 5.5 MM socket for the small bolts for the actuator. On a scale of 1 to 10 on difficulty, I'd give it a 3 for easy.
Hey @Castermmt,
Did you have to re-program once you replaced the actuator?
Nope, screwed it in and hooked up the plug and it worked perfectly. Very simple job. You will need a 5.5 MM socket which is easy to find. I had one but never knew it until I went looking for one.
Castermmt hello sir. 9 months later. is it still working good?
Hi, I have a 2010 LTZ. Is there just one Actuator that controls the driver and passenger side?
Thanks
Do you guys have one for the driver side one and the proper steps to do it I changed it out on my 2009 GMC Yukon but it will stay stuck on the front vents and after an hour it’ll move to defrost. I’ll have to turn the truck off in order for it to move back to the front vents
I have a 2009 yukon xl 1500 and my problem is the driver side will change temp but the passenger will blow cold air. I did a reset on it and now it's blowing at 74. The temperature won't change on it. Is it the passenger side actuator or something else? If so is there a video somewhere to remove it because I heard it's a pain to get to.
2008 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab 4.8L is located on the driver's side, above accelerator. Three T20 screws and the plug. Learned the hard way.
Is it because its a base model, my truck is a LT with the Texas edition package and has duel controls so it has multiple and idk which one is my issue, sometimes more expensive doesn't mean better smh :(
I’d like to go a couple rounds with the engineer who designed that. Mines way up in there And I have big hands
I removed this actuator on 08 Yukon . Testing it with the wire connected . This controls the driver side blend door, not the passenger side. '08 Yukon have issue with the passenger side blowing warm air while drive side is cold.
I broke the plug that hold the actuators is that a problem ?
would this apply to a 2010 Sierra 1500? with my temps set at 16 celsius I get cold air on drivers side hot on passenger.
Hello, does anyone know where the actuator is located for the driver side on a 2008 Escalade?
My ac will be blowing thru vent then sounds like blowing inside dash with hardly anything in vent,,Would this be 1 of the blend door behind glove box?At times also like a fog coming out.2012 silverado 1500
Thanks 👍
Welcome 👍
I just replaced mine. It doesn’t go to defrost mode. Do I have to relearn it? How? Thanks
Which blend door actuator is this? Main lower, main upper, etc... I'm wanting to purchase one but the parts store is showing multiple names and locations.
Under the dash but above the floor board
Did you grind down a 5.5mm universal joint socket to fit in the cramped spots for the actuator?
No, mine was short enough. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2007.5 GMC 3500 HD Sierra. About every other year I have to have the blend door motor replaced which sometimes fixes the warm air problem and sometimes it does not. Since I'm in South Florida I only care about cooling. The three days a years that I might need heat I can run the heated seats. Can I remove the blend door motor and put a drywall screw through the blend door to make it permanently blow cold? Just had the motor replaced last week and the coolest it would blow was about 80 degrees yesterday. It was 93 here outside yesterday.
Yes that will work I just can't advise it due to it not being the stock way to fix it. Thanks for watching Joseph!
My 2007 tahoe climate control wont come on at all i have checked all fuses, any ideas ?
Excuse the rookie question but that's why I'm here. I have a 2007 Chevy Suburban and the vents apparently are now locked in an off position where "no air will blow" through the front air ducts however the AC is on and pushing air through my furthest side and roof ducts. It's as if their are doors preventing the air from blowing through like they should (not an issue of hot or cold blending). I hear there are three actuators that could be the problem. How do I know if it's the blend door actuator as shown here or one of the others other than to replace each one, one at a time???
I have the same problem, did you get it fixed ?
@@susannaleonard3845 I did Susanna and if it helps, here's what I experienced. In my 2007 LTZ Suburban I have four (4) sensors I replaced each one of them and it wasn't as easy as it seems "however" the parts themselves were very inexpensive (around $12 each on Amazon) so that was a plus however it "did not" fix the problem. I did try to recalibrate and reset my computer settings and no luck! I even have an OBD reset tool and couldn't do it that way neither so I took the truck into a local mechanic. After he had the truck for three days with no luck, I started not feeling like such a failure! He too couldn't get anything to actuate properly and although he had reset the computer on other models, he couldn't on mine so he himself took it down to the devil... an actual Chevy dealer mechanic where they are all to well known to rape you in price for repairs. They did take it, wouldn't let me into the bay to record what was done and although I did all the work of replacing all actuators charged me $300 to reset it and the most I was told is they have a special computer that connects to the system to reset everything and it's not really a series of things anyone can really do (so they say) without it. Well, $100 to Amazon for the actuators, two days of my own time to install which was not easy, my local mechanic didn't charge me because he couldn't do it and the Chevy dealers $300 charge, I got it done for a total of $400. Hope you have better luck than I did but then again, properly working A/C is worth $400 in my book, especially in triple digits..lol Good luck
@@PatriotCoinRings Interesting. So my company has a 2013 GMC Yukon XL and I replaced the dash on it because it was cracked. When I hooked the battery back up the air mode is stuck on defrost and won't switch so I think I have a bad actuator now. I've tried everything to get the actuators to recalibrate properly with no luck. Wondering if we need to bring it to a Chevy dealer.
@@ncd7184 If it helps, I've long ago fixed this problem and it turned out there are actually four (4) actuators under the steering column and dash. I replaced the 2 on the far left on far right being the easiest to get to which turns out that those control the furthest left and right airducts so I took the truck down to a local mechanic to do the other two that were much harder to get to "for me" and yep, that was the ticket. This problem was 3 years ago and they've worked great ever since. If you can do it yourself, you can save a few bucks because the parts I bought right off Amazon for around $20 each. It just took me an entire day to do the two actuators which for me, I make a lot more money doing what I do being a jeweler and was totally worth the $300 I was charged to put the other two actuators in plus yes, he did say he had to calibrate them as well so for me, that was money well spent because it would have taken me far longer.
Hope yours is as easy to fix as well.
I just followed these directions for the 2008 Silverado and the actuator is not at that location, but I did find it after removing the top glove box and it was bolted on the top of the housing.
M24A6 i was just about to ask that question. it seems that the LTZ models have them in different locations from the standard silverado
So how did you get at it?
@@benjaminworm3195have to remove the top glove box, it's next to passenger side top air bag
2010 LS doesn't have dual zones. Why do I not see this part when I remove the kick panel? Appears to be just right of center?
Tom Penny it'll be underneath the airbag cover instead
But which side this actuator is for
I have a 2009 LTZ Tahoe. Sometimes it blinks 3 times but it blows mainly hot air. So would it be the main actuator?? Battle very low cold air even when using the duel sides.
no you either have no refrigerant or your compressor/compressor clutch has failed
I have a 2006 z71, there's an annoying clicking sound under the dash
only when I have the AC set to blow out the vents in the dash straight
at us, not when I switch to floor combo or defrost vent, I feel
something like a plastic rocker arm moving under there, is that an
actuator?
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
Will this fix the rear vents? My yukon is blowing hot air in the back of the truck while cold air is being blown in the front of the truck.
Sounds like one of the blend door actuators is out. Thanks for watching Fernando!
do you have a video on a 2003 tahoe? my drivers side is blowing hot
+blaine roberts not yet, please subscribe so we can make more in the future
How many actuators do they have my truck blows hot on the driver side is it the same one ? Or there’s another one that need to be replace
Depends on how many zones your climate control has. The more zones it has the more blendoors it has. Thanks for watching!
My air conditioner works normally, blowing hot or cold whenever I want it to. My issue is that when it's turned off, hot air comes through the vents at freeway speeds. It's that a door blend actuator issue? Can it be recalibrated rather than replaced? Thanks
Yes
Will this work on a 2008 avalanche blend door actuator?
Yes it should. Thank you so much for watching!
Is this one is the one that control the temperature?
Any videos on 3500 series? This is not my actuator locations.
Is this the one that switches where the air is directed ?
Where is the actuator for a 2007 Silverado 4.8L? I have removed the kick panel but the actuator is not in the location shown on this video.
it's on the top, a nightmare getting the dry rotted dash out, figure another 200 for new dash if yours is all dried out. It was cracked everywhere before I started, now it's wasted, 2009 Silverado
Hey joe did you happen to change yours? I have a 4.8 LS thinking mine is under the dash but can't find it
My passenger side defrost isn`t working. I have dual climate and I cant get the defrost to work. Is this video relevant to the repair I need to make?
Yep. That is one of the blend door actuators going out. Thanks for watching!
Would it be in the same location on a 2009 silverado 3500hd duramax diesel? Drivers side blowing hot all the time. Sometimes I can run the temp all the way up to 90 then back down to 60 and it fixes itself..sometimes not.
Yeah it should be! Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros thanks for the reply!
I have a Tahoe 2015 would be in the same play?
Very very similar. Thanks for watching!
Can you do one on the main under steering wheel
Was it for driver n passenger side 🤔
If you don't mind maybe say what size sockets you're using
I do in the videos from like 2016 to present. Thanks for watching!
If this is from a dead/disconnected battery related issue, and you have an SLT/LTZ/Denali with memory seats, please try this; Turn key in the “run” position, make sure A/C is off, press the “driver 1” memory button, start vehicle and turn on A/C. If it doesn’t work the first time, try it a few more times.
I have a 2011 suburban z71 and it will not calibrate after removing power from the battery and reconnecting. Does the method you describe work? I have memory seats so it’s just like the LTZ model
Thank you, it worked!
What about the sle package?
Do you have a video for the replacement of the Main Actuator? These vehicles have 3 of them.
Were you able to remove the main actuator? I'm looking for help!
@@mtsanchez27 Also looking for main actuator.
@@adamdavenport3561 I think that if we can dissambly the one on the passanger side we can find that one on the center of the console but I dont know if we have to dissambly the radio as well. But the real important question here is which one is the one to change and why?
@@mtsanchez27 Agreed. I have a 2012 LTZ Tahoe. I get slightly cool air out the driver side and cold out the passenger side. I believe I need to switch the passenger side actuator to fix this but don't want to waste my time or money if it's the main actuator that needs replaced. Oil change shop quoted over $700 but did not specify which actuator they thought it was and did not provide a part number when I declined the service. $300 for labor was a little steep for me.
@@adamdavenport3561 I think that we need to buy all of them, handle the actuator very careful, starting with the one on passenger side and gon on that way, and returning the ones that we dont need. What do you think?
So doin this and heater will work
Do you have to adjust anything?
Nope just make sure it is on correctly. Thanks for watching!
2005 Tahoe. Is this located on the drivers side or passengers side?
Yes it is. Thanks for watching!
Hi 2CARPROS. I have a 2010 Chevy Avalanche LTZ. Does it have just one actuator that controls both the driver and passenger side. I get heat on the driver’s side when the AC is on, and the tech said it was the driver side actuator. He wanted over $500 to fix it so I passed. He didn’t mention if it had one or two actuators.
I just read your additional info, and it sounds like I might have two because I have dual climate control.
Thanks
Yes if you have dual climate control there will be 2. $500 does sound steep for that job. Is that a dealer price?
2CarPros Hi they also said I need a Dash Control Unit part number 25936129. I found a actuator above the gas pedal that worked the door to direct the air up to the defroster or to the dash vent, but it worked fine. Is there another actuator that would control hot or cold air for the drivers side or could my problem just be the dash control unit? No matter how I adjust the temp up or down for the driver side it just blows hot. So if there’s not another actuator it might be the control unit. Would you agree?
I found the actuator for the drivers side blend door on the bottom of the dash behind the passenger kick panel. I replaced it, and everything is fine now. Thanks for the video.
I have an 07 avalanche and will be ordering the actuator tonight. How long did it take ya to do it?
Jonathan Biloy if you’re doing the one one the bottom side of the dash on the passenger side maybe 90 minutes. That’s the driver side blend door actuator. If it’s the one on top on the passenger side for the passenger blend door that will take longer because you’ll need to remove the air bag. Time really depends on how long it takes to get the screws out. The one for the passenger kick panel above the hump took the longest time. I used double sided carpet tape for that one instead of trying to get it back in there when I was done. Good luck
Ever thought about telling people what size screws those are holding the kick panels on? 7mm by the way
7MM is the head size, not the shank size.
Thanks I was like who does this
where is the Blend Door Actuator at on a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 series
Leroy Savoie it's inside the truck
Excuse me but don’t they have to be recalibrated somehow. I mean ECM wise?
No. It is plug and play. Thanks for watching!
Is this the same location for 08 avalanche?
It is! Thanks for watching!
So it not the driver side? That control the vents
My 2009 blend actuator is not located at this postion now where is it
On top, dash has to come out.
What is the proper recalibration procedure for this series of vehicles?
+Winston Smith It is plug in and play. No re calibration is needed.
I've replaced mine, and I cannot get the proper modes working right. It changes modes now, but defrost is almost always on, does not go to the lower foot vents.
Sounds like you got a DOA unit. I would remove it and do some trouble shooting.
Weird, still changes modes, still will go through it's total range of movement, just not putting them in the right modes. Maybe the control unit is my problem?
Are both blend doors the same for each side
The process is the same but no I don't think they are identical. Thanks for watching!
I have ah 2010 Chevy Tahoe. And sometimes my ac gets stuck on defrost when I turn the defrost off. Not blowing thru the vents. Could it be the passenger actuator??
Yeah totally. Thanks for watching!
I own a 2011 Sierra with single zone climate control and found the Actuator that is responsible for the defrost/vent/heat function is called the "mode actuator". Dual zone vehicles use 2 actuators, one each for DS & PS, plus the mode actuator. A defective mode actuator will produce the symptoms you describe, while a defective PS/DS actuator will cause warm air on DS & cool air on the PS,or vice versa.
In my case the mode actuator is under the PS dash next to the PS airbag on the LH side.
My 2010 blend door is located their
How many actuators are there?
2011 GMC Sierra A/C is working fine, but I know there is an issue regarding the smell coming from the outside and it makes my cabin all smelly. Isn’t there a indoor cycle option? That prevents smell from the outside to come in your cabin? If so mine is not working. Does anyone have this same issue?
So there is a blend door for that as well but it sounds like the source of the stink is inside your vents. Maybe a critter got in there and expired or something like that. I'd take it apart and try to track it down. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros I have a 2011 Suburban LTZ with driver, passanger and rear air and I just spent 406.65 at a local shop to get my AC working and it is still not as it should be. ("check A/C, Evacuate & charge system(Qty 30 freon), perform blend door calibration procedure(evap door not going to full close causing front evap freezup")) Here in Virginia it is always very humid and if you change the recirculation from fresh air to recirculate inside air, there would be a noticable difference within minutes in the humidity level inside. It does not seem to do that anymore, the air inside seems to just stay humid as if it was set on fresh air. What actuator controls this?
DO YOU GUYS HAVE A VIDEO FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE?
I know that one is a pain in ass
Is that blend door control the passenger side?
manbearlion9111 yes it is
@@theclaytonshow838 As if the passengers side wasn't. Dang it sucks if you don't have the right tools, that one back screw that goes through both the kick panel and actuator both was a serious pain in my ass!
This is the Driver side door actuator. I tested it after removing mine.
I have a 2011 silverado with dual control, my problem is that my heat will not work until I go from 86-90 degrees, which is way to hot at 86. what do you think the problem is? Both hoses in and out of heater core are same temp.
One of the blend door actuators must not be working right. If you have dual climate control you will have 4. Thank you for watching!
Did you fix it yet?
once you plug it in is there anything else you have to do? mine still not working
+LILStunnaMain no its plug and play have you checked the fuse?
This is for the Passenger Side, it's EASY, try the Drivers side it is not easy!!
only additon to vidio would add size of nuts and screws. otherwise better than most u tube
I have 2011 GMC 5.3 Z71 crew , where is the blend door actuator on this model ? Dealer quote $1200-1500 to replace . Insane Purchased 604-126 Dorman , actuator
$1500?! Ouch! It will be in a very similar to this truck honestly. Just keep looking in the passenger footwell and start removing things. Thanks for watching!
Wy. U don’t used a light on your video?
I'm having an issue to where it blows cold on drivers side but only blows hot on passengers side already installed the actuator but when I turn on the vehicle it blows cold on passenger for a second or 2 then back to hot air btw it's an 08' silverado.
Same issue on 08 Yukon. This blend door controls the driver side blend door. I need to find the passenger side one.
@@zmanphx did you find which one controls the passenger side?
@@charleshopkins77 pretty sure its the one in the upper dash behind the glove compartment and airbag
Mine does not look like this. I can’t figure it out
no i plugged it in and i can see it turning but still no cold air just hot and i already charged it
+LILStunnaMain did you try moving the bland door by hand when the actuator is off, the door itself could be broken.
@@2carpros how to fix the door if it's broken?
How many are there?
So I replaced the one in top of the dash, wasn't aware of the one below.
That's driver side how do you replace it on passenger side it's way tucked in
Not located there an all models, mine is on top, whole dash has to come out
That's why I put the models it is for in the title. Thanks for watching!
Ok Question, I have a 2011 Silverado think the blend door is the problem but getting heat from passenger side and cold from driver's side, and defroster is also cold, anybody have the same problem ?
Yep that's one of the blend door actuators. If you have dual climate control you will have 2. I'd replace both if you have them, might as well while you are there.
@@2carpros Maybe I'm wrong but I thought there were 3 actuators?
Is this the driver or passenger actuator?
Nick Brown one actuator controls both sides? i believe sir you are wrong
@Nick Brown wrong
@Nick Brown so far I have found 2 with the dash out, not finished, might be more.
Mines blowing hot on driver side and cold on passenger side when I turn car off and turn it back on driver side gets cold and then go back hot where is the actuator for the driver side
How about you tell me how to do it with the center console and actually say what size bolts they are
How about you just take out your sockets and see which one fits, duh.
I have a 2015 t
This video must be for a single unit system since the one I just did has duel climate control and both blend door actuators are no were near this location. Actually this looks like the Recirculation door actuator.
My air keep coming from my defrost. I too have dual climate. Wheres the location for it
i am trying to find where the recirculation door actuator is located? Mine must be stuck in the position where it only lets outside air in. any advice? Is the one being replaced in this video for hot and cold without dual temp?
@@mattbress9304 did you find the fix for yours? My truck is doing the same thing
@@deadlyliquidpcp I think it always let’s a bit of outside air in. My door is working. There is foam around the outside which is why outside air can always get in.
Explain symptom's as to why it was replaced.
Noisy when changing air direction. Thanks for watching!
By the hour??
By the hour for?
@@2carpros hand tools are a devils favorite
These vehicles have 4 actuators
Where are the other 3? I just replaced this one and it didn't fix my problem.
So a 2011 Silverado LTZ has 2 actuators . I have dual zone . The one in this video is for the pass right ? Where is the drivers? Also when done don’t you need to recalibrate?
Thanks
This is for the passenger side yes. No you don't need to recalibrate. Thanks for watching!
2CarPros Thanks for getting back to me . Is there a recalibration procedure for this years and model?
Removing the kick panel bolts is a pain
Oh yeah big pain in the neck. Thanks for watching!
change mine and the problem continues 2011 Chevy avalanche LTZ
MrMiguel3087 did u get yours fixed
Yo man thanks for the video but that music holy s*** dude that was like a "Great Value" Walmart porn soundtrack.
It was the only free use music at the time. Thanks for watching!
This video only shows the actuator that controls the drivers side vents. Where the hell is the one that controls the passenger side? I pulled the radio out but don't see it back there either. There must be some other actuators for recirculating air and devertting the air between your feet, face and defrost. Any idea where those are? Funny how everyone says american cars are easy to work on. Evey japanese car I've ever owned had easy to find service manuals and nowhere near as much miss information in the internet. Plus you just don't have stupid crap like this break on jap cars.
I found it. No need to pull the radio. It's on the top side of the air box basically directly above the drivers side actuator (the one show in the video). You have to pull the center vents and trim that goes across the dash. It back in there and looks like it will be nearly impossible to get to but it was surprisingly easy. i.imgur.com/kz2ObfE.jpg i.imgur.com/KqIPRfT.jpg
how did you do this video and not explaining the "important section"? What fuse? What scan tool? I mean you call it important and don't address it anywhere.
You don't need to replace a fuse if its fine. Didn't need a scanner either. Thanks for watching!
Would be nice if this was actually where the actuators are. Need to fix this video to correct model and year. This is not a 2007.5 silverado.
Under the dash, passengers footwell. This was on a 2006 Tahoe which is the same truck. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros i have a 2007 3500 HD, its location is above driver gas pedal. Maybe 1500 is same, even if so, not all silverados. Thanks for the response.
2013 1500 Silverado is nothing like this.
