Dude, take your keys out of the ignition

Great job on the Video. Saved us all a lot of headaches. Mine broke also and was being tossed around in the squirrel cage. Thanks again.

take your keys out next time you do a how to vid in the cab of your truck

Towards the back or towards the front ?

Which way is the door when ac is on

I have the same issue but my door still works.

stop that beeping!

That seems to be a common problem with Dodges,

Before you rig it do your research. Replacement doors are like 20 bucks on eBay. Just did mine.

Same thing happened with my 06 ram 40 bucks for the part a 2 days of work.

There is a fix for the entire thing is called heatertreater look up on the web

Amigo tengo una DodgeRam 2500 3era generación. Año 2006 la cuál el control del mando del aire acondicionado empezó a parpadear la luz de encendido y se apagaba la luz del botón del aire y se apagaba el compresor y dejaba de echar aire frio. Que hacía yo apagaba el carro y encendía nuevamente y así el aire prendía bien por unos minutos, hasta que se pagaba nuevamente. Eso duro así como 3 días,.. hasta que la luz más nunca prendió y el aire el compresor no comprimía, es decir no prendía. Medimos la presión del sistema con el manómetro y nos marcaban 110 psi completamente cargado. Y aún así el cluth del aire no arranca. El mando funciona todo bien menos el lado de encender el compresor del aire ,sabes el botoncito que uno oprime luego de prender la Manilla pero no acciona. Colocamos un puente con cable desde el compresor ala batería y el compresor funciona bien y enfría. Pero claro el mando de control está muerto. Podrías tener una posible solución. Ami problema. Me ayudas. ?? También tiene un problema en que la consola del techo que marca temperatura y uso de combustible disponible dejo de funcionar. Lo que si no logré ubicar los relex de este carro,. Solo tiene un acaba de fusibles y son puros fusibles pequeños. Es un módulo TPIM Otro problemita es que dejó de funcionar las luces delanteras, cuando prendían las altas no prendían las bajas o viceversa, entonces hicieron un puente de un bombillo a otro para que solo funcionarán las luces altas, las bajas no me funcionan.

👏🏼👍🏼

Saved me another 300 bucks brother!!!! First time I had the same prob, airconditioning wasnt blowing worth nothin and I took it to a shop and he said my blend door was broken and I told him to just go ahead and fix it. 2 years later, im hearing a loud rumble when I turn the fan all the way up and Im thinking its the blower motor so I youtube it and ran across your video. I had ordered the blower motor already but I got down there and took it off, looked up and BAAAAMMM!!! Just like yours was!!! So since this was the second time it broke and I think he tried a glue fix because it didnt look like a brand new door and the little piece that you took off to put the screws in for a stopper was like STUCK in there so I had to break the little holder piece and it came right out. I ordered an aluminum door from: www.blenddoorusa.com/ Like the guy said, you have to do a little yoga to get in there with both hands and manuever but after I figured out that I had to wedge the glove compartment a liiiiiiiiiittle bit more to get it off I was golden lol. Thanks again brother!!

Nice little fix.

Great video dude, but what about the polen filter? Does this model has it? Can't find mine.

Thanks for the great video..Very ingenious way to fix the problem. I am going to do this fix this weekend... Mandatory for any Dodge repair job, cold Bud Light! 1 can= easy fix...2 cans=moderate difficulty... 3 cans=more difficulty... 5 cans or more= you really effed it up and now you need to call in a professional mechanic to finish the job! LOL!

remove blower motor ,remove glove box , reach up through blower cavity push recir damper back up (with left hand )in closed position , hold closed with pencil through glove box opening with (right hand ), using 2" aluminum tape ,seal sides and top to hold in place with your left hand , 10 minutes done deal,,,, no screws, breaking or cutting and can still be all replaced with new parts later if other ac/ heater issues arise with no damage to your truck

such a shitty design...designed to fail.

Thanks for a great video...very informative and helpful. Definitely provides good info for when I tackle mine, which broke last night. I have to say though, at one point when you were working on the little white piece I literally yelled at the screen "Just hold the damn thing further from the camera!" But I'm nit-picking...thanks for taking the time to make and post the vid!

Why dont you take the stupid key out of the ign so we dont have to listen to the idiotic bell?? I quit watching because of it.

I got the 'Heater Blend Door' from Rockauto.com replacement part that's better made than the OEM part for $33.78 sent USPS Priority Mail. Fixing daughter's truck and it's not worth a 2 1/2 drive plus tearing it down twice if this patch work fails? Thanks for the video and I recommend you try something besides that (horse piss) Light Beer!

This video saved me lots of time and money! I removed the motor and the door was right there broken off. Thanks!

Well done it!!!! That Easy to pull the door out for a cost of watching your video and 15 mins!!!!! I'm just going to leave mine without a door.

The recirculation door breaks like in video and blocks vent. I talked to my mechanic at dodge and he told me what was wrong and the amount to repair which was comparable to Sudsyo. They make a kit that replaces the current flawed system. I think everyone of these has broken. I have n '03 and '05 and both are broken. You can remove fan motor and each in and remove door but you will constantly be taking outside air. Here is what i did. I removed fan motor because it was roaring on high which it only worked on high, another problem altogether, just happened at same time. Go figure. The cause of the roaring was an imbalance caused by the broken piece you saw in picture stuck in fan blade. So i took my door and secured it in the recirculation postion. To do this i removed glove compartment and stuck a screw driver through vent and wedged it in so door was secure in recirculation position.Then i took a sheet metal screw, one that was for securing to wood, ,sharp point and screwed the door shut on top left corner. Look closely and there is little tab on top left behind door where u can make a screw grab. Make sure the door is in position because u will miss the plastic behind door. Screw through door into tab. You do this by reaching though glove compartment vent. you will see corner of door with dogleg. I had along extension plus another to reach through attached to cordless drill.You are screwing in plastic so easy on trigger or u strip plastic out. Makesyre your hinge on top right is in hole. Now go through bottom where fan motor was with another screw and a washer just big enough for screw. What u do now is catch below door in plastic right below door and make sure u are close enough for washer to catch bottom of door and pull it closed with washer. u cant screw door shut because u cant get at correct angle. You will see where to put screw on bottom not necessary to be exact just make sure you are close enough to door so washer will grab door. Now your truck is permanently in recircullation. Your air blows and $600 is still in your pocket.

Good Job, but Amazon sells the part

Hey thanks for the video! Did you have a loud knocking noise too? Mine only knocks when I turn on the AC and sounds like its right behind my glove box? Does this sound like the same issue you had?

1 beer 2 beers 3 beers more 4 beers 5 beers fix recerc door!!!!

Thanks for your advise. I did as instructed and was able to determine the cause of my "not enough cold air" syndrome. KUDOS to you. P.M.C.

OMG take the key out of the ignition!

Get that same door on amazon, Dorman brand, for $35 and is an improvement from the factory door for those who wish to replace the door, and the white piece is eliminated with the new door. That's the main source of the malfunctions of all the blend doors it appears....... Dorman is making a good replacement for all doors and much cheaper than Heater Treater doors.......

nice job....was thinking that the fix would be a little weak but looks good

Very helpful, i have the same truck and it is doing the exact same thing!

MUCHAS GRACIAS MI AMIGO. ESTA SOLUCION FUE PERFECTA.

I have had my 06 ram in the dealership twice for broken door and it just happened a third time! This time, I may try using your techniques. Thanks.

Parts Geek has the door for about 30 or 40 bucks

All I did was drop the blower motor and remove my recirculation door. To tell the truth, I haven't missed it!

just did mine today but i didn't use the old door. got a new door from napa. www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Heater-Blend-Door/_/R-NDP6005615_0437033141

how did you get to the screws on the actuator with the amp in the way?

heater treater has these doors in metal, and each door is like $120, $45 for each extra door

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this video. You have no idea how much this helped me. GREAT idea with the allen wrench.

you r an idiot!!! have u watched your own video, try to focus next time asshnole!!!!!!!

I had the same issue.. Removed the door without replacing it.. Have awesome air now and heat.. i did not replace the door..

Yup, but now the other flaps inside the dash are acting up.

Thanks for making the video. It was the problem on mine .Cheers

Thanks so much bro!!! You just saved me $600... have another cold bud on me

Took mine out and left it out today. Thanks
