Honda Odyssey Rear AC Blower, Resistor, & Blend Motor Actuator Replacement DIY

[@MrRangerZr1]

*Parts and tools* Blend motor actuator: amzn.to/2vCbY9J (change this if your rear AC is not blowing air out of the top or bottom vents) Blower motor: amzn.to/2KLFhLM Transistor (aka AC resistor): amzn.to/2nsOYW9 OEM: amzn.to/2U2fgfU Orange trim tool: amzn.to/2vCbMHx Screwdriver set: amzn.to/2KKnJQ0 #ad

What are your thoughts if in the 3 zone system only the front passenger gets heat while the driver and rear do not?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Joshua Miller just saw your comment. I would check the blend motors.

[@theodoreregino6390]

Does this fix still apply with Odyssey 2007 when only hot air comes out in front but all the rear still blows cold & hot air? Problem started with clicking sounds on the rear passenger side (trunk). Thank you for your smart, well thought ways of showing us.

This solved the problem with our 2006 van. The back just suddenly stopped blowing air (hot or cold). We followed your steps to get the back panel off and replaced the back blower resister. It was super easy. $60 lifetime warranty part and less than 30 mins (we had a nine year old helping and I was vacuuming as we went, so it would have been quicker). THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

[@MrRangerZr1]

Awesome! Glad I helped!

[@littlemidge00]

Ok question now. The fan in the back worked from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon. Blew both hot and cold. Friday it suddenly stopped again. We replaced the resistor and it immediately worked.....now what should we try next?

[@littlemidge00]

Just to clarify, we replaced the resistor on Sunday and it immediately worked - remained working for 5 days. Looking for direction on what to work on next.

[@theodoreregino6390]

Yours is the best video pointing to what could be causing the clicking sound @ the rear, passenger side, of my Odyssey 2007. You made me aware of what was in there! But then my AC begun to blow only hot air, in front, both driver & passenger sides. When controlled from the rear (2nd row, left side ceiling), AC can still blow cold & hot air, vents are working. Does this video still show the very same part to replace? Sorry, but I’m getting confused with L & R Main, Mode, & Main blender actuators. Does my Odyssey 2007 use the same part number? @MrRangerZr1, Thank you for your way of showing us!!

[@MrRangerZr1]

Very first thing I would do is check the freon level. For that, you have to take it to a shop and they hook up this $5k machine to the van. Don't ever use those recharge cans sold at autostores, they don't tell you the whole story.

i agree with all the comments, really great video. In my 2015 Odyssey, the rear ac unit makes cranking type of noise whenever I start the car and then it goes away after few minutes and everything runs fine. Any idea which part of the motor might be problematic ?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Best to remove the interior panels (in your van it's on the driver side) and have someone start it up and check where the noise comes from.

[@charmmin15]

I have the same problem, the dealer just told me that they have to change the rear motor $500 usd. I will try to changed by myself.

Before you spend 200 bucks on the actuator, try to fix it. The unit comes with electric grease, in my case this was shorting it causing the motor not to move. I cleaned it and and now is working again. Here is a guy explaining : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZK8mqeEbdGLlcU

Hi do you ahave video if the ac blowing hot air in the front driver side and leaking freon overtime

[@MrRangerZr1]

You have a leak somewhere. Put some dye into the system and check where it's leaking from.

[@Phyoomz]

When would something like this be required? I have the same van, front a/c works perfectly, but whenever I add the rear, after about 10 min, the whole car starts to blow warm air. Went to 2 mechanics, they couldn't figure it out. The front a/c actually blows cold enough by itself to cool the whole van, but I can only imagine the vehicle would cool faster if the rear worked properly.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Check the freon level by a shop and check fan operation. Could be your expansion valves, videos are on the channel.

Is there something overheating or is that normal?

The coolant lines are right underneath the cup holders but the heat shouldn't radiate to the plastic, there is insulation. Check my rear expansion valve video, you'll see the a/c and coolant lines.

Hi, how do I reset the fan blow mode settings (computer reset or battery or fuse disconnect type reset) after installing the Blend motor actuator? Blend motor works on temperature settings for mixing air but responds too little or (sometimes) no response to the manual fan blowing modes after installation. Hence, even after blower is working on all speeds, airflow only comes from floor vents. Thanks!

[@MrRangerZr1]

Did you use a OEM actuator?

[@tfinavia01]

@@MrRangerZr1 no and I repaired it. However, I found that front vents (all 4) are controlled by the actuator arm located behind glove box. That's also faulty and I was able to unstuck it to face venting position and driving since! Problem was that both actuators went bad the same time or nearly so. I plan to repair that one also, very easy too. Thanks!

Hello! Im experiencing an issue where my 2013 Honda Accord EX-L is blowing cool AC air on the driver and passenger vents, but the center two cents and the rear center vents are blowing warmer air. Not really an issue when the temp setting is at the lowest, but you can tell the difference still. I read through forums and all about the AC actuator might be the problem. But when I look at the actuator while the car is on and i switch air vent settings...it seems to be working fine. The freon level is normal and not an issue. Someone told me a “flap” needs to be changed? Im kind of at a loss here. An tips would be great!

There are multiple actuators. Check all of them. Look through the glove box area and under steering wheel.

[@jmc224]

MrRangerZr1 thank you! Do you know which actuator on the 2013 model accord controls the center vents?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Looked at the shop manual, I think there are two motors behind the glove box and one on the driver's side, underneath the near column area. I would remove the glove box so you can see the motors, then switch the ac with the controls and watch the motor's arm to see if it stops, sticks, or doesn't do anything at all. It should move when commanded by the ac controls.
