Chrysler 200 tapping noise in dash fix

Replacing a clicking blend door actuator on a 2012 Chrysler 200

[@KB-vk7fj]

Thank you so much for this! I’m just getting ready to do some maintenance to my 13’ Chrysler 200 and these videos really help! I was just about to get the AC professionally fixed, so you’re saving me a lot of money. The headlight video helped as well, thanks again!

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

Glad to help

[@Beardology]

Thanks! Just bought a 2010 Sebring today and noticed a clicking sound coming from the area around the glovebox. This looks like an easy fix.

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

Glad I could help

[@MikeJones-rs3un]

I’ve left it clicking for 6 months now 😂 I just start pointing my finger like I’m shooting a gun when it clicks lol

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

That is a new way of fixing it I never tried yet, :-)

[@adri4u]

Thanks this video helped so much and my husband and I fixed it today, no more noise 👏

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

Glad it helped

Hey i have a hyundai sonata 2018 My wife car just start this clicking sound but even when the car is turn off the noise still keep going? Can you help me with any information

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

I am not very familiar with Hyundai vehicles, yet I wish you the best on your repair

You videos are awesome. I do have a question is my Chrysler 200 2013 will start to over heat when I am idle after driving for more than 30 minutes. Would you know what it could be?

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

you may wish to look at your coolant level, you should only add coolant when the engine is cold to avoid server burns. if you can see a leak, it should be fixed quickly. I have another video on sealing an internal leaking head gasket you may wish to view. it was done on a Chrysler 200: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mITCYYyIl9iEntU

Fixed mine today. Works perfectly. Thanks!

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

Great to hear!

[@alicemaii]

So I ordered my Dorman part and it came with a paper saying that a reset process was required after installation or it wouldn't work properly. Said it required the use of a scan tool through the OBD-2 port. It looks like everyone here was able to fix without a reset? Any advice is appreciated 👍

[@jeffwhitehead6243]

@@alicemaii I didn't use a scan tool at all. It was pretty much "plug n play." I hope that's your experience.

[@alicemaii]

@@jeffwhitehead6243 okay cool thanks for the quick reply!

[@raedrumsandbass]

I changed the 2 on the passenger side . How do I access the actuator on the driver side ? Is there a short cut

[@way123h4]

Could you fix it?

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

if new out of the box, the actuator should be calibrated and ready to install. I wish you the best

Hi, Thank you for an informative video. Any idea to replace the same part at driver side door actuator for the same model?

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

No, sorry

[@kassquinn8782]

Mine is not making a clicking sound but some other weird noises. I cant find exactly where the sound is coming from but my heat does not work so im figuring it has something to do with that.

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

you may wish to look closer at the actual blend door for it maybe stuck. I wish you the best on your repair

[@aaliyah4346]

Do u have to unplug the car battery? In one video it says unplug the battery to avoid electrical shock

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

most all repairs say to disconnect the battery for liability reasons. The voltage of the battery is not enough to give you a shock. I did this work without disconnecting the battery, yet you can if you feel more comfortable doing so but you will loose all the radio settings. I wish you the best on your repair

Great diagnosis and a great video!

Would this have something to do if my ac if just blowing hot air

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

unlikely, since this part controls which vets the air comes out

[@tony-hn8nc]

@@bbbjim1fixedit would you happens to know what would cause the ac not to blow. Cold air 3 mechanicals I’ve taken it too haven’t found a problem with it

Very clear instructions and video!

[@raedrumsandbass]

How can I get the the actuator on the driver side ?!

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

I believe you need to remove a panel above the gas pedal to get to it. I wish you the best on your repair

[@rwamchubb7977]

WHAT ABOUT THE ONE that's behind the steering wheel?

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

I am sorry to say that I do not have a video on replacing that one, yet I wish you the best on your repair

[@dorianalvarez5103]

Can you make a video showing where all 3 are please?

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

I believe the 3rd one is above the accelerator pedal; this wasn't my car so I cant make a video of it, yet I wish you the best on your repair

[@kylevon]

How much for new actuator

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

They are around $35 US Dollars at many Auto chain stores, you can get them on Amazon or eBay around $20. I wish you the best on your repair

[@jacobhutchins3539]

I’ve been trying to find a video on the third actuator location closest to the driver side (sounds like it’s left hand side of the stereo area) anyway I have no idea where to find that. Lmk anyone if you happen to!

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

I'm sorry this wasn't my car and I am unfamiliar with the location on the 200, hopefully someone can leave a comment to get you in the right direction. I wish you the best on your repair

[@javiervaldez3398]

Que función hace esa pieza

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

Esa parte mueve la puerta de mezcla para controlar la temperatura y el lugar donde sale el aire. Le deseo lo mejor en su reparación

[@DunnyHutch1]

Yeah it also clicks when the cars not even on.

[@bbbjim1fixedit]

They sometimes have a mind of their own. To get it to act up to ensure you are replacing the correct one, try turning the ac recirculation button on and off. I wish you the best on your repair
