Blend Door Actuator Replacement

**appinboy** · 06-20-2016

also which way should your temp switch be in in hot or cold when installing the actuator motor ; i know that actuator only goes on one way on that post of the door but manually you can put the door in hot or cold with the actuator not installed to see if this is your problem ;thank you

So the vents on the drivers side blow hot while the passenger side blow cold. Common sense tells me that the drivers side needs replacing but common sense isn't always the way things work with these cars. Also is it the same part for both driver and passenger side or are they different. I'm only seeing one part listed on Rockauto. Figure I might as well replace both of them while I'm at it.

For those of you with dual climate blowing hot on the drivers side/cool on the passenger side: did you replace both sides? I replaced the driver's side, and the air is cooler now but not as cool as the passenger side. Do I need to do passenger as well?

if its not as cold on the driver side you might need a re charge.

you can take the actuator back off turn the knob by hand to see if its blows full cold as well. thats a free test at least.

It's free to try, but man I don't want to take that thing back off. I was all twisted up laying on my back with my head down by the pedals. Bloodied up both hands trying to get to it.

Thanks Scotty

Where is the blend door temp actuator for single zone manual control for the 1997 GTP ?

i took all that off, all it did was let me see the actuator while peeking through the crack, lets you find the little bolts easier, thats for sure.

thanks, does it matter if the tilt wheel is up or down ?
Does this mean the actuator is close to the steering column ?

I thought it was by the center console above the gas pedal ?

Anyone have a picture or video ?
