New blend door actuator doesnt operate. i get ac by removing actuator and sliding door to cold side, but can't use climate control. i just want to use the actuator I paid $50 for! Any ideas? I have 5 volts on one pin on actuator.

    Yes, it is the automatic climate control and is the correct actuator. the actuator doesnt move at all when i operate the ac. only way to get ac is to manually open blend door which sucks but doesnt cost a dime!. would like to put dash back together some day though!

    auto climate control. neither new or old actuator moves at all. i have the ac rigged for now but looks like crap with cover off dash!

    thanks a million for all the info. I have one problem however. I dont see and flr button on the control. Do u mean the button that puts the airflow to the floor? Also, the diagram is missing. I truly appreciate any help you can give me with this thing. It's driving me up one wall and down another! Thanks again.

    I will try to find that diadram online. Thanks again for the help. I'm going to try it out right now.

    Ok, I got it to work. It ended up being the off and bi-level buttons. The codes 024 and 025 flashed. Is there a way for me to find out what the codes mean? Thanks again for the info.

Had this problem before... recheck part#....is it for EATC or MANUAL...??? eatc on a manual will only go to half way...sounds like they gave you the wrong part....its a pain to replace wasn't it.....hope this helped you...GL

    thanks for more info..sound like more of a control problem than actuator.. test the "RCC" (control unit)...with the ign ON,push - OFF/FLR buttons at the same time.....then AUTO .....wait for diag to begin....it will show numbers (flash-out codes) you need to note down....If it's ok the display will ALL light-up..to exit this turn the IGN. off, and it will go back to normal .... attached is the wire diagram for this system...be sure to test the LOOM and CONNECTORS (wire & contact) while your got it apart.... there is a publication for erratic operation (TSB 02-23-4) but the actuator does work in this case....



  • Anonymous Jul 08, 2009

    yes due to some model design changes its always been OFF/FLR, or OFF/DEF, then AUTO/ON....I will try to paste the diagram again...

2004 Chevy Tahoe: I changed A/C blend door actuator on passenger side and it's still blowing heat on my driver side?

Does the vehicle have dual zone climate control, where the driver side and passenger side have different control? Sounds like a blend door issue on the driver side. Why did you replace the passenger side, was it blowing hot too when AC was on?

AC Problems Left side aC goes to hot after about 1hour. Will fix itself be turning off the ignition for bout 10 inutes

each side on a dual climate control has a separate blend door actuator independent of the driver and passenger side the actuator control the blend door. It seems in this case the actuator is intermittently moving from cool to heat but tries to correct itself then allows the blend door to return back to the wrong selected position I would check the actuator

Heater blows hot on drivers side cold on passenger side

it depends on what model and what options your Journey is equipped with. if it has a dual zone control climate control, it sounds like the blending actuators are not aligning properly or the blend doors are not adjusting to cooperate with the main climate control system. the temp. of the vehicle is controlled by Blend doors in the h/vac system that is thereby controlled by the body control module of the vehicle. the module is a computer that controls all functions within the body of the vehicle. the module should have problem codes that should isolate the area that needs attention.
the body module controls the blend doors in the h/vac system, the doors that open and close in the vents by the heater core that controls the temperature that is ultimately expelled the correct temperature that comes out of the vents. if the settings on both the drivers and passengers control knobs for example are on cold, and one side is hot and one side is cold, then there is a problem at the module level or most likely the blend door is the problem. most likely the actuator ( the motor that runs the blend door and controlled by the module) is not operating properly. your dealer will hook the module up to a diagnostic computer and retrieve the codes ( if any) and isolate which blend door is not working correctly.

usually its just a blend door actuator that needs replacing. to rule out heater core issues, if there is no excessive condensation on the windows and coolant on the carpet, then most like it's a module or blend door issue. if it's a single mode climate control, the same is true but puzzling b/c in that case, both passenger and driver h/vac system is designed to push out a consistent temp for both side without the option of variation on either side. again most likely a blend door issue.

hope this helps

Heat comes thru driver's side vents, but blows cold air thru passenger side vents

You likely have a faulty blend door. It could be electrically, mechanically related, or even a broken door. It may be the blend door motor, or possibly the temp sensor.

My ac line gets cold but on the inside of the car hot air blows out. what's wrong with my ac.

It is a actuator motor on the inside of the dash ,mounted on the blower box,the dash will have to be removed to replace it.The actuator motor controls the temp door,and it is not moving the temp door.If this was helpful,at all,please rate,and thank you.

96 buick regal, w/dual climate control, w/ac on blows hot air on driver side and cold air on the passenger side

It can be low on freon,or,the actuator motor foor that side blend door is bad,if so,the dash has to be removed to replace the actuator motor.

98 expediton heater puts out warm air only ,heater hoses are hot . vane door seems to be working . Is there some type of thermostat in the dash. It has standard heat & ac

Look ,behind the glove box,on top of the hac box,toward the center of the truck,it is a flat box,with a multiple wire plug in it,it is the temp door actuator motor,that turns as you select the cold,to hot selection,it may not be turning all the way for hot.You can remove this motor,and turn it,yourself to see,it is hard to do,because it is ressesed in the box.

04 Chevy Silverado. Dual climate control is blowing cold on driver's side and hot on passenger.

with truck off, move passenger to full hot and driver's to full cold. turn key on and run air for 15 seconds.

turn key off

move climate controls to opposite positions and turn key on again with air on. Run for 15 seconds. turn key off.

center temp controls and turn key on again. this should fix you.

Climate control blows cold on one side and hot on the other should I buy a new climate control?

this is caused most often by out of phase climate zone blend door actuators, it is a very hard problem to repair, some luck in fixing it comes from removing the negative battery cable for 5 minutes to try and re-phase/sync the door actuators,if the one door will not change temp then it is more than a door sync issue and can require replacement of the blend door actuator, are the outputs of the 2 sides just reversed? that is to say will they change from hot to ac even though one is hot and one cold and visa versa?

How can I fix

This is either an out of phase issue or a temperature control blend door or blend door motor actuator problem, it can also be the climate control module in the dash, 1st try disconnecting the battery for 5 min's to re-sync the climate control module, if this fails u will need to find out what blend door is the problem or if they are ok replace the automatic climate control module in the dash
