Honda Accord Driver side blend door motor change 2003 to 2007 AC or Heat Dont work

[@tenionitiri8063]

what is the size the screw used to hold the actuator? I misplaced one and would need to get a new one

[@RBTheMechanic]

I don’t have that information on side u might have to take out another one and match it

[@tenionitiri8063]

What if I just zip tied the top one and used the 2 screws to hold the bottom? I see you previously zip tied some thing in there

[@nsxt290]

Nice video here. I have this same issue, where its hot= passenger, warm to cool on driver side& defrost. I looked at the actuator & its turning the blend door arms. Is there something else i should look for or does the actuator need to " fully extend" those door arms?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Try tuning it manually see if it makes diffrence

[@nsxt290]

@@RBTheMechanic i will try that

2012 exl Accord. Recently I found out that even if I set the temp to Hi , it is only coming warm air, not hot, it takes 30 minutes to warm up the whole car. Also in summer time, if I set the temp to Low, it takes a very long time to cool the car. What do you think could be the problem? ( i have seen that side vents are blowing no matter where I set the direction of the flow)

[@RBTheMechanic]

Start with checking coolant level top it off

[@OniVideo24]

@RBTheMechanic I have it in the max line, car doesn't overheat but it takes +15minutes for the temp to go to the C. After seeing your video, I checked the driver side blend door motor, and I saw it move only when I started the car, but it didn't move when I pressed any buttons

[@garagesociety9907]

Great video. I have a problem with this air mixer motor. It was loud like the sound of boiling hot water.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah they make that type of noise as they start to go out

[@greenwil]

Great video! By chance would you happen to know what the black plastic lever is called that has the zip tie going through it, mine just broke loose on an 03 Accord. 🥲

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not sure what it’s called

[@phantomphoenix007]

Thank you for the video, I check both sides of the blend door actuators for my 03 Accord v6 ex, and they both work, situation like one side hot and one side cool just happened in those pretty hot days, normally they work ok on both side, is it any ideal comes up in your mind?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Check ac pressure with guages if it’s under 30 with ac running u need to re charge it los refrigeration can also cause partly ac to cool

[@YoungShizzie]

I had a plug I didn’t plug in when I changed my radio could it be it don’t work because of that or no it’s just the motor ? That why my heat doesn’t change or ac

[@RBTheMechanic]

I would plug it back and see what happnes possability circuit is through head unit

[@hennessygang1270]

So my front work but the bottom leg don’t work. They don’t blow nothing and sometimes it be harder to force my back windows. What should I do in this situation?

[@RBTheMechanic]

The mode door motor controls air direct check that and window is separate issue try lubercating window rails

[@markootasevic3957]

I have one question, on cold weather when I put on heating is blowing hot air only on driver side and cold air on passenger side and if I put to blow cold air is coming on both sides. Do you have any idea what can couse that? Thank you

[@RBTheMechanic]

Is ur car dual climat control?

@@RBTheMechanic yes it is

@@markootasevic3957 then u need to check both if they r turning both side and check core out side fire wall pipes they should be equally hot

I have a question someone is telling my heater box is messed up but can’t find it anywhere only in eBay and that’s the whole system itself how do I go about this problem

[@RBTheMechanic]

Heater box or core?

[@brooklyn7941]

I checked mines right now same issue but the blend door motor is working I made sure the black peice is moving up and down but still same issue so does that mean I’m just low on Freon?

[@RBTheMechanic]

It could be low Freon very high chances so u can either do reservice or first check pressure with a machine

[@spigli11]

I took off the blend door actuator like you show in the video and I can only manually move my blend door by hand about half of the way. So I guess that explains why I’ve got no heat. Any thoughts? Do I need to take out everything to see the actual blend door and if something is blocking it?

[@RBTheMechanic]

No u should be able to flip flop very easiesy

[@spigli11]

Yeah I can see yours in the video is able to open and close freely and easily. Mine isn’t like that. Something is not allowing it to open and close easily. I can move it by hand about half way and then I can’t push it any more….or I don’t want to push it too hard and potentially break something

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@spigli11 don’t force it u can brake it could be somthing stuck inside

[@spigli11]

Yeah I definitely don’t want to break anything. Sadly it seems like I may have to pull everything out to see if something is stuck in it

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@spigli11 if u can get scope camera u can look inside form too vent and see what’s in there first

[@bhadz100]

Hey man, if the ac only gets cold when rpm is up what does that mean?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Seems like low Freon do ac service

@@RBTheMechanic I brought it to Valvoline and that’s what they did extract and put it back. Though I was not really impressed with the knowledge of the staff

[@Baljeet66]

Paji, I also have same problem in my accord euro 2007 driver side, just warm air and passenger side cold. I opened blend door actuator of driver side to check from inside and did cleaning just like you told in other video and put it back nothing happened. Before it was making sound of click click but after cleaning no sound so still have to replace blend door actuator? Even it looks ok. Much appreciated bro if you give suggestions. Thanks

[@RBTheMechanic]

Did u try to turn the door manually and u can open that acuator open clean the grease and push the pins so they can make better contact and use new grease

[@Baljeet66]

@@RBTheMechanic I tried to move manually also, but it was not moving from little force and I don’t want to break it down by putting more force. And yes I put new grease and checked the connection also. Connection is good. Don’t know what is wrong here…?

@@Baljeet66 u mean u took apart the acuator and cleaning greased internal

@@RBTheMechanic no paji, I checked if any crack or something stoping that circle to rotate but everything was fine. I didn’t clean grease. And connection is also good, which was you talking in video.

My accord blows nothing but hot air on both sides and when I push the button to lower the temperature it stays stuck on hi anyone else have this problem

[@RBTheMechanic]

Is it digital control? Try resetting pull fuse or disconnect battery but make sure u have radio codes

[@sheikhali4144]

My front defroster and floor vent don't work what do you suggest?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Check to see if the mode door motor is working that is what switches the air direction

Yes my mode door isn't working. Thank you RB

How to fix if no power to blend door actuator ?

Never had that case might need to deep dignose start with hvac fuses

@@RBTheMechanic Hi, I have a 2006 Honda Accord and there is a problem with no heat on driver's side. Passenger's side is ok. I checked the heater control valve and it seems to work properly. What I noticed is that one of the hoses connected to the heater core is warmer that the other. I can also hear a water flowing sound behind the dashboard. I flushed my heater core last year and after that I got a little bit warmer air on passenger's side but no change on driver's side. Greetings from Poland, the winter is coming and I've had enough of catching a cold after every longer drive. Please help me :)

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@maciejpod3654 did u check to see if u got dual temp control both blend door motors r working

[@maciejpod3654]

@@RBTheMechanic Thank you for the quick response. I didn't know that there are two motors on passenger's side. Both are working but I noticed that one of the pins is out of guide (I don't know if "pin and guide" are correct words for these but hope you know what I mean, sorry I'm not a native speaker) so i pushed it into the guide. Before that the air was constantly blowing out of vents straight in my face and fingers, I also didn't have air blowing through vents on legs. But now that problem is solved and the air blows exactly where the mode I choose shows. (For two years I have been wondering who was so stupid to design it this way that you can't block air blowing in your face, haha). But still cold air on driver's side. After that I'm pretty sure it's not a matter of clogged heater core. The second motor (it works) is much deeper and i can't see the whole mechanism but I guess it might be a problem. Maybe one of the pins is also out of guide. Is the deeper one responsible for hot/cold air flow?
