You failed to mention on the onset WHY you had to change the controls (always mention this), what symptoms led you to think that control panel needed replacement, what sounds, visuals, etc. led you to that diagnosis and need to replace. That's quite important to youtube viewers about an issue.

Get your nose out of the air and mind your business. I don't give a fuck about KZbin and the normal people who wanted to know why I changed it just asked me...... And I answered.

So Hot-diggity-dog-diggity Ooh what you done to me? I was not as bitter as you are an old man with a mentality issue. If you failed to mention WHY you had to change the controls, it could have helped others and doing a youtube video doesn't make you a mechanic or a celebrity. Asking why you needed a replacement is common and I'll try my best not be bea jerk about the matter as you've been. Others will see the hate in your as well. If how you acted normal, I don't want to visit a sanitarium to visit you. Thanks for the complements and I appreciate it, even though you never answered the questions others wanted to know. And, I didn't have to curse once to show my illiteracy. I suggest that you do the video over and this time what needed to be done. Oh, and I appreciated your video. I just wanted to comment on what you left out which is important to ALL. Good day... 8-)

You failed to mention HOW the screwdriver removes the panel trim. Did you slide in the screwdriver above the directional fins as not to crack them? Did you push the screwdriver parallel to the ground and upward? It's important when dealing with plastic not to create a second or third issue.

Appreciate the video, I had issues the the door actuators but lost power to the driver's side. I noticed the blinking defrost light in the bottom right after the new install in your video. Did this fix your problem or did you still have issues with the hot/cold change? That's how my 2012 grand caravan started with the problem. The actuator was missing teeth in one of the gears and the flashing light began with the "clicking noise".

What were the symptoms for you to do this repair? My heater blows warm for a little while, then blows cold on both the driver's and passenger's side. Looking at the temp gauges, I do not believe it to be a thermostat problem. I though maybe the valve that controls the water flow through the heater core, but I can not find that valve on the van or online looking for parts. Thanks for your help and the video.

Maverick, yes. When I put the new blending actuator in, there's no more clicking and resolved the issue. I don't know if it's related, but thereafter, I cleared the ECM codes, and since I replaced the actuator in May, I am unable to see DTC Codes (electronic module which expresses if there's an issue in the EVAP system and my meter reads yellow light and EVAP. I have been unable to get all the system to ok everything for an inspection sticker which failed in May. I ran the car since then, for hundreds of miles for the car's computer system to register all codes during driving. I was told to drive the car for about 100-200 miles for that to happen, but thus far it hasn't because I'm retired and don't travel anywhere or work so limited use of my car. A couple of mechanics told me that it would be the solution to get the car's system to pick up all the checked codes (all sensors) and return to normal. It hasn't happened yet. I'm a bit frustrated. Perhaps a ECM FUSE?

Is the reason this was replaced because the air location buttons were not working ...ie (windshield, floor, directly at you, mix of directly at you and floor ) or was it because the heater knobs werent working? I ask because my 2012 the heat and ac work fine on every setting but the floor...so i was thinking i needed to change 1 of the 3 blend door actuators , but now i am wondering if this is what i need to change? My fan speed also works perfectly when i dial it up higher or lower , the only thing that doesn't work is when i set the hot or cold towards the floor, otherwise it all works perfect.

What was the problem you were experiencing? Ive already had the front AC evaporator replaced after my ac stopped working. After that it worked a couple times, the n the driver side went out, a day later the passenger side went out. After paying $1200 to change the evaporator, i don’t want to pay to replace the compressor if it could be the door actuators or possibly just this control panel. The buttons work on the control panel, so im leaning more on the door actuators with my fingers crossed.

@hotdognonesky37663 жыл бұрын
There may be air in your system that is keeping the heater core from getting hot. It's also possible that someone put the wrong coolant in the vehicle. Make sure your coolant is pink and clean. If not you need to flush the system asap before it does damage to the engine. Again your coolant is not supposed to be green, it takes a special pink coolant that comes from Chrysler.
