Well done. Yes the problem usually is poor contact between those pins and the rotating pad on the main gear. By bending the pins up slightly like you did improves the connection. The computer uses those pins to figure out how far the blend door is open. So usually when you start your car the heat is fine but then when you drive and hit bumps those pins lose contact and the computer goes to a default failsafe position - no heat.

Yup u nailed it!! Good tips

[@babyjoker360]

My drivers side two vents are blowing warm air but both passenger side vents are blowing cold. Could it be low Freon?

[@RBTheMechanic]

That is the first thing to check or reservice ac systym also check to see if u got dual climate control then bled door could be bad on one side

[@billburkart8527]

I also want to thank you, my 2004 MDX is now working again. Makes me feel good to be able to fix it myself. By the way my dealer wanted $500 for the new part. 👍👍

[@RBTheMechanic]

Crazy

[@hapetaa]

Boss, mine 2005 Accord does not blow hot air at front windshied grill. what is fix? same or other side under steering ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Maybe ur mode door motor is not working check that

[@Gucciix]

I have a Acura tsx 2006 I noticed when I use the cold air the driver sides vents which are two vents are not blowing as cold as the passenger sides vents do you know what could it be ? It blows semi cold air on driver side but it feels hot on some days and the passenger side it’s always cool

[@RBTheMechanic]

Check ur refrigeration pressure it maybe low do ac service with ac machine

[@kroanosm617]

Can you show what it looks like installed and in the cold position? Mine moves but I can't tell if it is stopping too soon.

[@RBTheMechanic]

I have few videos installing it and taking it out

[@goldwatereli]

RB ...not just The Mechanic, you my friend are a Rock Star! Someone in another video commented about this video being available. A little looking around and found this along with the video on how to install the blend door actuator. I would have never thought to take it apart, clean, and bend the contacts, but as of right now, my car is fixed. I have heat and a/c. Saved me money and a lot of time. Blessings to you!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice glad u found my video!! Good job doing it urself

[@jameskendricks4508]

I performed this repair using your video as a guide. I gently bent the pins to improve the contact and I also used dielectric grease. I now have heat on the passenger side of my Accord. Thank you!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice good job!!! Excellent

[@dinbee4611]

OK but what if its the motor or something else that's preventing the actuator to work?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Usully this is the issue the motor on these never fail

[@NaturallyDesi]

Hi! Question I have an 05 Acura mdx and my front ac is stuck on heat but my middle blows cold air. Do you have any idea what that is and how to fix?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Middle meaning the back of car? Possibility could be blend door actuator stuck on heat side or low Freon. Good this is ac system is running!

[@NaturallyDesi]

@@RBTheMechanic so like the front and rear ac can be separately controlled so I thought it was low Freon but the rear ac blows SUPER cold yet the front vents are blowing hot air

[@NaturallyDesi]

@@RBTheMechanic is an actuator something I could fix myself at home?

Greetings from Mexico. Nice video. Helped me save some money and time

About same place I believe

[@850CANE]

My mode door actuator is sticking. Would it be basically the same method as this blend door repair?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Same same!!! I have same issue with mode door motor looking to fix it same way

[@850CANE]

@@RBTheMechanic thank you! About to jump on it

[@850CANE]

@@RBTheMechanic what year accord? I have an 02 Acura TL. I think I just broke the plastic piece that connects to the actuator. That moves. Now my airs only coming out the floor vents lol. Looks like I'll be heading to the junkyard tomorrow

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@850CANE this one is off 2003 to 2012 they all same. Ur has to be Some what similar

[@850CANE]

@@RBTheMechanic I just got mine apart. Two gears have a broke tooth. Probably when I pushed it by hand to get off defrost. Going to have to find one. None on eBay that I saw when I briefly looked earlier. I wish I could send you a pic of the main gear that moves the lever. I can't see how to get it off to get to the brushes. It's different than the one in your video

[@raulduberney4419]

Have a 2019 honda civic driver side vents blow hot air and passenger side blow cold any ideas thanks

[@RBTheMechanic]

You have a recall on ac!! For 10 year warranty extended. So this issue seems like low on Freon which is leaking and caulking on half the systym to cool I would check with ur dealer

[@raulduberney4419]

Ok will do thank you

[@gfriedman99]

Does your car have separate temp controls for driver and passenger side? If so, they have a blend door actuator on each side. Try watching the actuator as you change the temp it should move. Repair or replace if it doesnt move
