I’m not a small fella, I’m 6’2 300 lbs so it didn’t leave me much room 😂 but I got it done. Took me about 4 hrs taking my time and not rushing anything. Thanks for the instruction video!!!!!

[@minnieamor6799]

First, thank you so much for taking the time out to show us how to replace the blend door. I live in the midwest and my heat stopped working about 2 yrs ago. I was very nervous about doing this myself especially with the heatee core being so close to the blend door but I was able to fix it with no issues. For any woman reading this, if I can do it so can you. Just watch his video from beginning to end first, get every tool that he suggested, remove the car seat and get a pillow for your back then go to work. It might look challenging but it's not. Might is back working now. Again, thank you so much!

[@737mechanic]

I had an engineer drive from a neighboring state to have me do this job that he started and got part way through and decided it was too much to finish so you should be proud. I have done 15 of these now and most have been for men who didn't have the confidence to follow the video and do it themselves. Good job and glad it helped you.

Someone give this guy a medal!! I could cry, I have AC and heat again for the first time in months thanks to this video (and my husband for doing the work). I almost croaked when the repair shop told me the total cost could get up into the thousands. My husband did use the weakest setting on his dremel and a bit with low profile teeth to speed up the plastic cutting, and managed to execute it perfectly.

OMG!!! This video is the best!!! Thank you!!! I am a female, I am a nurse, not a mechanic…. And I was able to follow step by step and fix my AC!!! I was able to get the last part back in without removing any parts, just took a little muscle… thanks again !!

I finally replaced my blend door last night. I started at 9:45p and by 11:30p the new part was in and secured. I think I could have knocked this out even quicker but a few things held me up. 1. The plastic piece that you cut off to access the blend door, TRIM it like this video suggests. I tried to put it back in without trimming it and I couldn't align it right. I fought it for a while before giving up and then trimmed it. It went in right away after. 2. The AC vent tube that is removed at the beginning needs to be put in first when you are reassembling it and the BCM pieces/wires. I tried installing the BCM first and then the vent tube and failed miserably. Once I took out the BCM (and the bracket it is in) the vent tube reattached easily. 3. Get a GOOD light. I can't stress this one enough as there is very little room down there to work in and you can't see anything without a good light you can reposition over and over to get good views of everything. If you need something good to cut the access door with, I hight recommend this ($40) plastic welder. I bought it several years ago for other projects and it worked great for this project too! There is a rounded tip that comes with it that was perfect for the job. It took me about 5 minutes to cut out the plastic piece., seriously 5 minutes if that!! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002N7S1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@joerzep]

We just finished our 2014 Camaro. Could not have done it w/o this video. Thank you very much! FWIW - a couple tips that may help others as well... Before you seal it up, don't forget to pull out the broken piece of the blend air door. We thought we might not have pulled it out. In fact when we tested it, we heard some rattling inside the dash when the fan was on max circulation, confirming it was still in there. In the end we wound up getting a vacuum cleaner with flexible nozzle and put it into the cut-out hole. While holding the vacuum in the hole, we covered over the opening with our hands and turned on the fan to max circulation. By doing this, we were able to seal it off enough so the suction from the vacuum, plus the fan, sucked the broken part into the vacuum! We also found that putting the vent on first before connecting the wiring was the way to go. Just be sure to keep the wires tucked back on top of the vent. Good luck!

Best detailed mechanic video I’ve ever seen on KZbin

[@joemarks3719]

Got the door cut and out today, wasn't too bad, took a few hours, but I didn't get in any hurry. Only thing I would add is the horizontal screw for the air duct was a Hex 20 on my car and not a 7mm. Mine is a 2012 2SS. When you get these two screws out pull down towards you and rotate clockwise, the duct comes right out. The only issue I have now is trying to fish out the broke end, and the white connector piece, but I'll tackle that tomorrow. I used the borescope and unfortunately, they both are about 1/2 way down to the passenger side, approx. 6"-7" away from the hole I cut. I tried a vacuum with an end on it that would hold them at the end without pulling them into it, but it didn't reach far enough. I guess I'll try a long screwdriver tomorrow. Thanks for the video, made it much easier to do.

[@Nightyj123]

For anyone that doesn’t have a scan tool. It’s not 100% necessary. All I did was disconnect battery and after finishing and connecting everything back. The only problems I encountered was tpms was all dashes and the compass was saying “CAL”. But literally after driving it for 5 seconds everything went back to normal. With the patience and tools you’ll get it done.

Amazing video. Stopped at harbor freight yesterday after watching your video to get the tools I needed and then replaced my blend door. Also I used a box cutter type tool and no heat to cut and it worked fine. That heater core is strong enough it just had some scratches on it

[@acecrixus3218]

GM lets put the heater core 1 inch from the plastic blend door so it can melt warp and snap. Great engineering!

[@danieljones8587]

I have a 2010 Camaro with the same issue. The A/C mechanic I took it to installed a valve on the heater hose, you close it for A/C and open it for heat. He said he did not know how to fix the blend door and this way was the most practical fix he knew of. Today I found this video and ordered a new blend door off Amazon. Also, when on the order page an electric hot knife popped up. So Amazon must know about this fix. It will be nice to switch from heat to A/C without having to stop and turn the valve and burn the shit out of your fingers. 😮

You need to do a calibration to make sure the doors are fully opening and closing. A scan tool is easiest and the best way to do this but if you disconnect the battery for a few min and reconnect it when you turn the key on the car should do a self calibrate.

Really good video, you went through each step. I would use whatever you are using to reseal the plastic, in the little holes on the door where it breaks to reinforce it from breaking again.

[@AmritpalSingh-jr8ib]

Thank u so much for this video. I just fixed it on my 2015 Camaro as well. Thank you for your detailed instructions.

Blend Door is the same as recirculation ? What is the part number ? 15-74128 ?

[@737mechanic]

No different door. P/N is 92215212

[@robertsarabia2828]

Thank you. I have no money but have a camaro hahaha 😅 so I used the torch lighter to melt the blend door pieces Back together even stronger than before and ill tell you what it looks ugly but it works great 👍 atleast there's access now

[@OdinsFerrari2178]

Gave a like and subscribe bc you probably just saved me $400 bucks

I replaced the blend door today but im having just one issue. Before the car would ONLY release hot air but now after replacing the blend door, the car blows hot air only when i start driving, and sometimes when im parked. Any advice for what I should do? My model is a 2013

[@joemarks3719]

OMG, trying to get that far end of the door into the boss has been a complete PITA!

[@Isaacromero810]

Thank you very much for the knowledge Sir. Great video great tips and made it very easy to do it myself. 👍🏼 God Bless You always

Do yourself a favor and absolutely take the seat out! I’m 6”4 245 and omg my side hurt so bad from the seat and the headache from being upside down and the hot knife burns sucked. Video is 100% 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@woodrowpimp]

lol 6’2” and 200…. Seat wouldn’t come out …. I did it tho…. Side and shoulders tore up a little…. Very tight spot

[@bobk46]

Lol. I just did mine yesterday and even though I took the seat out my neck, back shoulders, are hurting real bad. Yup, have a headache too but at least didn't burn myself with the hot knife. I agree 5 stars for the video.

[@a.tanks9754]

Can this be done on 2011 5.7 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

[@737mechanic]

It probably can but you would have to figure out where the door is and how to cut it. There was a year range of RAM 1500's that this was also done regularly.

[@a.tanks9754]

Thank you​@@737mechanic

Any tips on unclogging ac drain? Have water spitting out vents.

[@737mechanic]

If it is clogged drain you can stick a flexible wire up into the drain tube. You will need to jack the car up so you can access the drain.

QUESTION: am in the process of doing this repair and have hit a snag. The shaft on the actuator motor won’t align with any position that I can adjust the newly installed blend door. It's just slightly off but enough where I can’t even re-bolt the piece on. I’m thinking I can reset with a 9V battery, but can’t find the pin assignment to test. (GM Part # 92215208/ACDelco Part # 15-74128) Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your videos!

[@thomasayala1956]

Hey man your video is awesome! Best one out there, question though so I was able to replace that flap. And now car is blowing cold air.. but when the car is driven.. it will blow cold then hot then back to cold and keep doing that.. any idea why?

[@krazor8]

do i need to disconnect the battery before taking the seat out?

[@737mechanic]

It is best but I never do.

[@kevinmcgrath1838]

I know this is an older video but the best I've seen on this project. I'm currently in the process and was wondering if it might be a good idea to reinforce the area on the blend door with some epoxy?

[@737mechanic]

You could if you wanted but I think the 2 screws and RTV is plenty good.

[@kevinmcgrath1838]

​@@737mechanic I'm talking about the door itself. Reinforcing the new door around the breaking point.

[@737mechanic]

@@kevinmcgrath1838 In the first video I did on replacing these doors I talk about that, I am not sure if it would help or not but I figured if I can get another 130,000 miles out of the new door I would be fine with that. Even if I have to change it again, the hard part is done.

I can’t get my Front Driver Side Floor Air Outlet Duct back in and you skipped it in the video. Any advice?

[@737mechanic]

You just have to keep twisting and pushing. It will eventually go.

[@cameronwilson752]

I’m having a problem getting the heat duct out on 2015 Lt camero any suggestions

[@johnnydrakos6407]

im having trouble getting this piece off, i got the bottom to dislodge but its still not budging for me

[@737mechanic]

Make sure you have cut deep enough in the two top corners and pry the bottom out and kinda bend it back and forth and it will slowly work loose.

[@johnnydrakos6407]

nvm i got it, that top piece was a bear, for some reason. you made it look easy

[@13BloodyAprons]

What type of drill did you use to remove the seat?

[@737mechanic]

I use my 3/8 impact.

[@juanaranda6396]

Does the actuator fits in any position the door is? Does it matter? Or you need to keep the door closed so the actuator engages in? Do you need to recalibrate with the scanner after you finish installing it? Thanks

[@737mechanic]

Anyway, you can get it back on and then disconnect the battery and reconnect and when you start the car it will do a self calibrate.

[@juanaranda6396]

@@737mechanic thanks! I appreciate your help!👍👍👍

[@scarlightduelist8222]

Just recently did this repair and while my air is still a bit cool compared to what it was, is it possible if you didn’t seal that plastic back up that the air that’s escaping could be coming in contact with the heater core resulting in it blowing warmer than it should? That’s literally the only thing I didn’t do and it started off fairly cool but today it felt warm again. The door seems to work cause I can tell the difference in temp otherwise.

[@737mechanic]

Two things, first make sure it is fully charged, second, have someone do a door calibration to make sure it opens and closes all the way.

[@jacksoncoughlin3578]

Hey I just wanna say thank you so much man ! I watched this video for a week straight before doing this job and I’m not a car guy never really put anything together or fix much but take it places to get fixed I tried this out and I did a better job than I was expecting the only real issue I had was putting back the foot air duct because it’s the worst angle to get passed that control module I never removed the module I just knifed around it and got lucky. The only issue I ran into it I got the blend door in place and started my car and it was blowing ice cold ac I turned it from cold to hot and and took it for a drive and it was blowing warm air on the cold setting so you think this has anything to do we me needing to do the havac reset with the codes or do you think my actuator motor is bad ?

[@737mechanic]

Disconnect the battery and reconnect it and the car should do a self-learn on all the actuators. Also, make sure the aluminum line under the hood next to the master cylinder is cold. If it isn't very cold then you may need to charge it.

[@jacksoncoughlin3578]

I did the disconnect and started up again was cold for 15 seconds I let my car idle and it’s warm again pipe is cold in the engine too ??

[@jacksoncoughlin3578]

Gets warmer when I drive and pick up speed

[@jacksoncoughlin3578]

Ice cold on the startup which is weird never felt my ac like that but won’t stay it comes and goes

[@737mechanic]

@@jacksoncoughlin3578 It sounds like it is either under or overcharged.
