2011 Dodge Charger - How to fix clicking sound from AC

This is a tutorial to help in replacing A/C Heater Blend Door Actuator in a Dodge Charger. The A/C Door Actuator is located in three places within your dash board (1 in driver side, and two in the passenger side). This tutorial will show you where to locate the devices in your dash board. I been quoted over 1000 to fix this clicking sound. However, I was able to fix this issue with only 30 dollars. This tutorial will work for 2011, 2012, and 2013 Dodge Charger vehicles.
Here is the part from autozone:

Good Vid. Fixed mine in 1 hour max, from removal of glove box to reinstall. Quick tip, the bad actuator will click so you can simply touch the actuator and feel the thumping without having to disconnect and determine which is to be replaced. My fix was on a 2011 Chrysler 300, same set up.

[@IamKing2013]

You’re a life saver bro. Mines just started yesterday and was driving me crazy not knowing the reason lol.

[@Shiith]

Man you’re a life saver , this sound is driving me crazy

[@kevinmuniz4911]

Thanks man I’ve been going crazy finding this man people like u there should be more

[@Jessekerby]

Thank you for the video bro, my 2011 charger just started doing the same and I was so worried, now I have a better understanding of them

[@zombykreature]

You saved me a grip of cash. Many thanks Sir!

[@marinapolovinkina2216]

Thank you so much!!! You saved me a lot of money!!! 😁👍👍👍👍

[@imeldarios9630]

Thank you so much you saved me a $1,000 bucks !!!!

[@omeromagana3942]

a million thanks for the video brother, you saved me 900 which I was quoted for the job in the end I fixed it myself for only what the part cost 37bucks, great video

[@watercoconut]

glad to hear.

[@watercoconut]

glad to hear.

[@ChronicSwampAss]

That's insane! If I were you I wouldn't have anything to do with those businesses anymore. Like I said the local Dodge dealership here replaced mine for $150 parts and labor.

[@mm-2018]

Shows how dealerships rip you off every time just had a tire pressure monitor replace one went out said I had to replace all four ....warranty paid for it....... but for real?.. now my actuator is clicking even when I'm not in the damn car.

[@vickiesilva245]

Thank you for video and information, YOU ROCK!!!!

[@Delilah123]

Thank you so much this video is really helpful

[@roxannaghita6093]

Yes this is same issue I have with my 2012 van!! Your awesome!

[@davee8162]

He pointed out three but theres actually 4 total. 2 on drivers side and 2 on passenger side. You have to pull the drivers panel under dash to see the other 2 better. Thanks for the video I happend to have the worst one to change on the drivers side way up in there to the right of steering column. A micro ratchet bit driver helps a ton with these.

This video made me look like a genius with my wife! Greatly appreciated

[@melissanative1799]

AND MY HUSBAND LOL! DEALER WANTED 900 TO FIX.

[@deezee147]

You are a savior!! My 14 is doing that

[@diplomatsking]

Great tutorial

[@davev5031]

Thanks for the video. I changed one in my 2010 Challenger which was on the drivers side one of 2 there. Strictly a feel and work job, no way you can see what you are doing. Much harder than the one shown in this video. This job took me about 5-6 hours and I have all kinds of tools. Like he says if you have to change that one god bless you. One stupid broken tooth on the cheap plastic cluster gear in that actuator is what causes the problem.

[@risteelongtran3506]

A four minute video. Dealership quoted up to $2000 dollars for me saying they needed to take out the radiator in the engine compartment. My clicking noise comes on when I turn on the heat or AC. But even when the engine is off and it's parked, it still clicks randomly. But sure if that's killing my battery but gonna give this a go. Thank you

[@frankhunniidss8593]

did it end up working?

[@frankhunniidss8593]

i have the same problem

[@airman7619]

Thank you God bless you ! Car got fixed with this video.

[@brandyclark8790]

Thanks for the info! Driving my sister's charger & of course something would start messing up while I'm borrowing it. Pray for me because I'm going to try to do the work myself! ❤️ Doesn't seem too hard to replace

[@mythcalphonics5635]

I thank you so much my good man.

[@felixr2d2]

Legend. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@azrealchannel9696]

Ur amazing bro

[@richmoney9977]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@ButterUrBizkit28]

Dude mine is making the noise on the driver side so it's gonna be a hassle just by looking at your video😭 but thanks anyways I appreciate the video

[@cartiercarter2521]

Bro mine just started on the driver side. How did you make out need some inspiration 😅

[@joekohl2247]

Great video! How about when the actuator stops clicking and blows intermittently very low? I have a good idea which one it is as the clicking noise was on the left console? Please advise? Thank you!

[@Spirit-Survival365]

thanks good video

[@Fibradecarbon318M]

Apreciado GRACIAS 🙏 bro

[@codygonzalez2525]

Awesome thank you so much for this one... I ain't trying to pay 600-1500 to get it fixed

[@zombiekill0756]

Thank you so much 😫😫😫

[@mr.hammer7080]

Good video l like

[@itzjulie]

Hey i have a question, i had the same problem with my charger a while back, took it to a mechanic and he said he replaced that same part, the noise stoped for a few months and a now its back, will i have to keep replacing that same part after a few months?

[@stephaniechandlet9721]

omg thank you!!! :) 😇👍💕

[@ariclewis2697]

You Da Man!!😂😂💪🏾

[@MH-zr7zb]

Great vid... Do you know how to stop the horn from randomly beeping

[@MrRivii]

are these Blend Door Actuator all same? or do they differ from each other somehow?

[@ArmyBroCC]

Thank you

[@Itskevinsantos]

I fixed my problem with the clicking, but I still get like a tightening noise almost like a rubbing plastic noise. I think it’s also and actuator near the center console. Would it fix that? Also I noticed it does it the video as well

[@georgegautier372]

One day i got the battery discharged and when I replace and start, the 3 actuators begun to clicking at the same time. Could be something with computer and door programs? The 3 actuators are the same model? Is a Charger 2012. Thanks for the video.

[@josatanvoxcovrs]

Would this be helpful for a challenger?

[@TheBrownMAFIA]

Question did you ac stop working because of that issue?

[@djlennondbm]

shot in the dark here. would this fix the problem on a 2006 dodge charger?

[@lesleymolina4028]

Do you know what would happen if i kept turning on my heater with that noise.. just until i can take it to a dealership in like a week or two

[@AK_Chopping]

You had the car on run when checking for the bad one?

[@Funguyzz]

What dose this part do ? It usally click when I turn on the heat or a/c but everything still works . I wanna know if I can just take the price out with replacing it ? ?

[@PORSCHER911]

Thanks for the quick tutorial. I'm having a problem with the same one as you have in the video. I managed to pull evevrthing out except the actuator itself. I lost the star T15/T20 screw while screwing one of the nuts out and couldn't remove the ramaining two of the three bolts. Now I have to take it to the mechanic. :/

[@kristoferalex08]

Mine just start doing today !!!!! But in my case is the one on the driver side . 😞. I’ll check for another videos to find the better way to change it .

[@reklessgaming5373]

saved me alot bought a 2011 charger and its almost a lemmon but im gonna save it and thats one of the issues

[@StayBlaziin]

Me too!! Bought with the issues changed motor, got misc interior pieces that were missing, and now this problem which I’m glad is super cheap!

[@lahentaga]

Thanks for the video I hope I don’t need to change the one on the driver side!

[@azrealchannel9696]

Theirs 2 ?

[@azrealchannel9696]

Fuck i though it was one with a few options it can b located

[@Alexis-ui7xl]

Can these affect how cold the air comes out?

[@shannonbowley4455]

What is the part called. I drive a 2011dodge caliber that is clicking

[@charliepenaloza2551]

Would it really messed up if you don’t change it ?

[@2k6brandon]

Sounds like I wil be replacing an AC actuator as a weekend project.

[@djcarter7802]

Would this work for a 2015

[@chinocc1128]

The part I bought mentions having to plug in and reset them is that needed for 2012 dodge charger

[@JJ-rr5xk]

What do these parts affect???

[@joker2012pm]

what is the bolt pattern?

[@frankfranco3253]

Agustin ? For you do you know if all 3 Actuators are the same? Same part # model fits all??

[@Cjay0417]

V n

[@dannylozoya6084]

I'm in the same boat do I have to take out the glove box

[@jerry8667]

Just replaced both actuators on the passenger side. One was bad but I figure the other would not be far behind. I recommend removing the one nearest the center of the car first and before replacing it remove the other one and replace it. This will give you a little more room to work. In this tight space every cm helps.

[@THEMAKDON]

Please help sir! I'm getting cold AC on my passenger side and hot air on driver side and also it worked today when I took it to the dealer and suddenly it stopped working and hot again 🤔 please help me

[@Gage888]

Mak Don use google

[@_____0689______]

I have the same problem on my 2012 chrysler 300

[@bindyp1739]

What will happen if i don't get it fixed i can't get it fixed right now. Any replies welcome. Thanks

[@Josh-991]

What’s it called ?

[@alexochoa23]

Anyone know if this would be the same part for the new model? 2015 charger. I have the same noise and but is faster clicking not as slow as the ‘11

[@thearkansashiker]

Should be, but keep in mind there are several of these actuators. The most common to fail is the HVAC Blend Door Actuator, part number is 604-024.

[@melissanative1799]

THE OFFICIAL DIRECTIONS SAY TO DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FIRST. IS THAT NECESSARY?

[@gstylezproductionz]

Yes the system goes through a recalibration once the actuators are replaced

[@basskicker7488]

Do one showing the drivers side please. Or anyone help

[@pantae2946]

I thought there is four actuators? mine sounds like its comming from top of drivers side

[@Donoprez]

thanks so much for sharing your video, I have a question I hope you can help me. You mentioned that you have like 3 different door... that name. all 3 are the same tipe part or each is different and one last question, what happens if I just disconnect that piece??? thanks in advance!!!!

[@watercoconut]

The same part type replaces any of the three air door actuator. The hard part is trying to determine which one it is.

[@Donoprez]

Agustin Preciado thanks so much for taking the time to answering my questions!!!!

[@agustinpreciadogarcia3438]

Hello

[@randyclark7078]

I change it and it still maken that noise

[@theartillerochavez8759]

What is the name of the part to replace?

[@thearkansashiker]

HVAC Blend Door Actuator was the name of the part I changed. The part number is 604-024. There are others, but most common to fail is the HVAC Blend

[@abspsz1950]

the ac stops working tho right

[@mm-2018]

Everyone that owns this car longer than the warranty has to replace this part that should be a recall... I guess this is not life and death so they will never do it

[@ivanortega2994]

Hello im having the same problem with my car can u tell me wat it is

[@Vancev99x]

First time I heard it in my charger I thought... . That sounds like a a door trying to be closed but its stuck. Turned of my ac sound came to a crawl then stopped. I'll fix it eventually just needed to know what I was getting into.... I hope it's under the glove.......

[@Chunkofbrass]

It's called a blend door actuator

[@joekohl2247]

How about when it stops clicking to diagnose? I have a 2011 and mine clicked in the center, then it stopped? The two are close together. Should i just change them both? All comments welcome! Thank you all!

[@Sg-bg7xp]

I would just because it's a bitch to get to. But you could buy 1 and replace. Do a check, if it didnt work, take the one you just pulled off and replace the other. All same part number.

[@joekohl2247]

Thank you!!

[@joekohl2247]

@@Sg-bg7xp Are they interchangeable???

[@melissanative1799]

COULDN'T YOU ALSO TOUCH THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE IS MAKING THE NOISE?

[@HiRy420]

YES YOU CAN

[@salvadorperez9980]

If mines happens to be the driver side I will live with the clicking

[@tylerthomas5181]

I replacee mine and now the A/C wont turn on at all. Any advice?

[@melissanative1799]

DID YOU EVER FIGURE OUT WHY THAT HAPPENED?

[@azrealchannel9696]

Any luck?

[@thebeerdedone7568]

BROOOOOOOO, my wife calls my car a P.O.S. because of that sound. Thank you so much for this video. Time to get the old lady off my baby.

[@ChronicSwampAss]

Just had mine replaced for $150. That's parts and labor at a Dodge dealership.

[@Andrew-yg1sr]

This is funny I never experienced any problems with my AC or heater mine has been tapping for months finally stopped ..if you pay 1000. Or more than 30 $$$ for this fix you need to report them for useless parts

[@ordaos2253]

Door air actuator? I'm not trying to be a smart-ass my bro, I actually have the same issue with my Dodge charger but not knowledgeable when it comes to maintenance work. so question is genuine LOL

[@MattTheKing24]

My shit sounds like a chopper gunner lmfao

[@SmoothBrain23]

Actuator (ak-choo-ate-er) lol

[@JohnSmith-zw6tr]

THANL YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! Fucking mechanics told me it was a part stick in the blower, and lodged in the dash. He quoted me 900.00! Unbelievable!!

[@Andrew-yg1sr]

Just listen to where it's coming from mine was in the middle I never changed it so what does this tell you it's a waste of money it does nothing who cares if it sings

[@martysmith4789]

yes its so annoying WTF

[@21godson]

I’ll never buy another dodge product again. Too many issues.
