You guys are life savers. I'm a girl... which normally means when I see a mechanic, they assume I know nothing. Tried to tell me $1200 to fix heat on passenger and air on drivers. I fix for 35 bucks!

[@aprileovainuchai]

Emily Hefner same! One Machanic told me the part alone was $175 plus labor. I went to Auto Zone and bought it for $23 plus tax with a 10%. I watched this video and fixed it my self. They are money savors for real. ♥️

[@Anonymous_20507]

I charge 80 - 150 plus parts depending on the trouble

[@olivaresfelipe]

Thanks. I checked my actuators; they were fine. I then checked the cabin filter and it was clogged full of dirt, etc. Replaced it and problem solved. Thanks.

[@lightningbuster]

Perfect, that's all I needed to see. The location of the passenger temp actuator.

[@hussaintahera]

Thank you for the information, I was able to successfully replace the part and its working fine now. The passenger side vents were blowing hot air when the ac was set to coldest. I removed the old part and it was jammed, the gears were not moving. Working fine now.

[@rileytate5620]

Awesome information from you guys, I changed the touchscreen in my 2015 Journey, and fixed my Passenger air actuator with help from your videos.

[@zanzangado]

Nice video, thanks. I could not find the video showing the driver side actuator. Do you have a video for it?

[@Eplattor]

Need a video that shows rear air actuator. The blower motor on my Journey is strong but no air from vents in rear

[@mikeboy7190]

Your videos are awsone saved lots of money did my struts now going to do blend motor ndebatongon doing pressure sensor

[@Zajacek1]

Thank you dear ones!!!! I fixed it myself with my friend holding a flesh light and my neighbour's tools :) ha! Thank you! God bless you and all who watches :)

always helps when your friend holds the flesh light for you ;)

[@jasonluther4077]

2012, driver side blows kinda warm while passenger side blows cold. Replaced heater core, thermostat and actuators. Any ideas?

[@lindseyleiss8626]

Can you post a video of the accuator on the drivers side of this vehicle?

[@69300rare]

How do you take the bottom of the dashboard off to get to the drivers side blend actuator

[@rduncan00]

For me. My air blows fine but passenger side doesn’t blow hot air. Only cooler air. And same with rear passenger. Is it the actuator?

[@thomasseibold4055]

This is helpful. Yours is the only video I've found on this topic that refers to the one most likely to go out as the "mode actuator," a term which makes sense. Everyone else refers to it as the blend door actuator, which refers to temperature blending, not air outlet directing. The one thing I question is your mention for the need for calibration on the mode actuator. Other installers suggest that since the connection gear itself is "keyed," you can just pop it on the "cam" and it will work properly.

[@mohamadyounis9588]

Whats the name of that part which controls air direction? Couldnt find it anywhere

[@ajchappa757]

Do these actuators control the temperature? When I put mine to A/C it blows hot air? Started on the passenger side and now the middle and passenger side only blows hot air.

[@brittanysabora7136]

For a 2016 DJourney do you have to take the dash and seat out to replace blender door.

[@RamonMalave92]

What is the name of the white part that the air flow blend door actualator is connected to. Mines is damage so my actualator pops out.

[@ChefApollo99]

Same car I get cold air on driver side and rear. Passenger blows full hot. Once and a great while it works. Is this the mode actuator or the passenger control

[@felipemedrano5264]

Hi. Im having that clicking noise but when i open the glove box its coming from the right side. Opposite side of those two motors you showed us. Which motor did you say is on the right side?

[@javijrfernandez1853]

Can you manually calibrate the mode door actuator? If so how do you do it?

[@jameschen9099]

Dear World Mechanics, Does the 2011 Dodge Journey SXT 3.6L VVT have a Heater Core valve that controls the flow of Hot coolant from the engine to heater core ? If so, what temperature does it open and allow hot coolant to the heater core. If not, does the hot coolant run through the heater core full time ? thanks for your answers and videos.

[@kensharpe9615]

Hey got a question my vents up top won’t blow but the bottom and the defroster will

[@virgoluv4601]

How do you change the one on the driver side?

[@saflot411]

Hi. Dodge journey 2012 V6 3.6L RT here Passenger side far right vent (near the door) are blowing little hot air compare to the other vent.the mechanic replace heater core and thermostat. flush the cooling system, but still blows little hot air. please help .thanks

[@macanocious3000]

I still love my Journey but I have to come back every spring to remember which and where the actuator is after long winters of blowing heat... Mine always sticks blowing heat to the passenger side. Happy for winter to be over. HAPPIER for videos like this. Thank you. Stay safe. See you next year - same bat time - same bat channel.

[@giggleherz]

Mine blows hot only to passenger side cold and hot work fine for driver. I am trying to find out which actuator is not working?

[@macanocious3000]

@@giggleherz open glove box - pinch hinges in and open further to allow glove box to drop down out of the way. Left side and back down in is white plastic actuator arm. As temp setting is turned up and down the arm should move up and down. Tap on it as changing the temp and it should free up. Mine did it again this year.... Hope this helps

[@giggleherz]

@@macanocious3000 OK I will give it a try ty for your help.

[@macanocious3000]

@@giggleherz YW let me know what you find please

[@giggleherz]

@@macanocious3000 I think I found the arm but no noticeable movement. We paid a fortune for this car because it was the first time we could afford to buy. We love it but now its over ten years old so all the plastic parts are bound to start breaking. It is a dealer car with all the features including man/auto drive, and rear heating and cooling. I have already replaced one actuator so I know the dealers are making a fortune. Question is when do you stop spending and buy a new one?

[@guillermof.gomez799]

Is there also an actuator on the driver side and if so how to access that one? In the video you said you would show how to but never did.

[@joshstone9756]

So I have issues with my headlights. They will turn off on there own while driving or anytime really. Have read that the vehicle computer will randomly start shutting things off when there is an issue. Now my passenger side will not blow heat. Could this be the main cause for the computer problems?

[@zanzangado]

There is a fuse for the actuator?

[@alvecampbell5344]

Hello World Mechanics.... can you please send me the link to remove the ac actuator for the driver side, 2010 Dodge Journey/Freemont.

Can’t find the accuator location for the rear heat/Ac any ideas?

[@jordanmikitka6104]

Heres my issuse: no heat on drivers side. 2010 Journey, dual climate control I have a small amount of heat on passengers side once it heats up. I have checked all actuators and they're all working. heat core has heat, very hot to touch, still no heat on drivers side. I have noticed the volume of air greatly reduce when I switch air temp from low to hi. Do you think I have heat core issue that needs a flush? why would volume of air reduce from low temp to hi temp? does air pass through the heater core or does it blow by it? could the heat core itself have a blockage that wont allow air to pass through it? thanks

[@joshuatabor8755]

Both motor/actuators the same model?

[@iangouldbourne4021]

I have a 2011 Dodge Journey SXT, the heating system is not working properly, the driver side is fine but the passenger side blows cool air. What could be the problem? Help please.

[@RevMraj]

You guys are getting a subscribe from me before I took it to the mechanic I looked in my glove box to see that my actuator motor wasn't broken but it just disconnected itself from the damn mounts that it was so I was wondering why I was only coming out my rear blowers I just reconnected the motor with some screws and now all my issues are resolved I'm game cool cool air through my front vents bro and it feels nice in New Jersey where it was 98 degrees today thanks

[@nicolemcintosh4882]

does anyone have an answer for this. I took my dodge journey into the dealer I've only had it since Jan 6th 2021. and I've taken it in 3 times now. and its still not working. at first I told them it could be the actuator because I was not getting any hot air on the passenger side. 1) they "cleaned" out the heater core. still didn't work the next day. took it in again 2) they "cleaned" the heater tubes? even though I mentioned again the actuator, and also said to them that the vent on the dash does not work when I change it to vent/floor the floor works but the dash nothing blows out. took it in again 3) they replaced the heater core compleatly. I did not leave the parking lot I checked the heat on both sides where good. but the vent still is not blowing air out. I brought two tech guys over they are like aaaahhh we have to call Dodge I have a friend who works there and I think this is "normal" i'm like what? its normal for no air to blow out when you change it to vent.. come on.. I'm sure its the actuator doors and if they need to be calibrated they are LAZY and don't want to do the work.. I'm almost out of my 3 month warranty and they've had my car for at least 3 weeks.

[@mickhunter3867]

There is a hose on the firewall that doesn't connect to anything. It's to drain the condensation out of a pan under the AC coils. It is probably plugged up. I had a vehicle that did that to. Found out Dirt Dobbers had built a nest in it.

[@justincease1124]

After tracing down low air flow at the vents it turned out to be a clogged cabin air filter just above the fan.... This is the first vehicle I've owned thats had one..... removed the clogged filter and it'll blow your hair back.....

Unfortunately, there's not a screwdriver on Earth that will access the furthest forward screw (even if you could see it)...assuming that the first two haven't already sucked the will to live from your body as it is.

[@hassangames2440]

Not easy to remove i tried every possible way i couldnt remove it

[@abbey4178]

I have 2011 journey, there are 3 phillips screws to take out. Not 2. The 3rd screw there is very little room for removal as you cannot get a small socket with a Phillips bit to remove it. A very poor design and so much wrong info on videos.

[@johng8967]

I just break the tap off by moving it back and forth. You're replacing that part anyway. I never put the 3rd screw back on the new one. Seems to be holding just fine.
