I just wanna thank you sir for your video I have had many mechanics try to take advantage of me because i’m a female I have a 2003 Honda odyssey that was doing the same exact thing and I swapped that actuator and my AC was fine. I can’t believe the actual dealer told me they’d have to charge me $120 to diagnose it $400 to swap it out. I told him the lies you tell. Then the Honda dealer tells me well if you get another part from somewhere else we don’t cover it if it doesn’t work. I said well if it don’t work I’m out 25 bucks if I get it from you it’s $200. I’ll take 25 bucks for 200 Alex lol.

Thank you, sir! After removing the screws, I found that it was easiest to pop the white plastic piece that attaches to the metal rod off from the original assembly first using a flat head screwdriver. Then use needle-nose pliers to release the metal rod from the white plastic piece. Finally, you need to remove the metal rod from the new assembly from Amazon before installing it.

You sir, are a freaking GENIUS! Never would have occurred to me to gut it to make it manually controlled. Not only did this confirm the problem and the solution, it allows me to have heat and/or air until the new actuator arrives. Cannot thank you enough! (2005 Honda Pilot, exactly the same setup)

I couldn’t get the metal bar to come out with the pliers so I examined under the dash and the other end is just held in with a black clip. I pushed the black clip off the metal bar with my thumb and the metal bar/whole unit came off. To reinstall new unit I just put the metal bar in the hole and clipped the black clip back onto the metal bar. Thank you for the video. Fixed my issue.

If it is like my Honda element, which had the same problem, open the hood, go to the back firewall, and find the two hoses going from the control arm you are trying to fix, this is called the heater control valve, just move to open or move to close, you will get hot or cold air. Try this first, before tearing your car apart
