Thank you! It was a pain in the butt, but I was able to replace the actuator in my 2016 Dodge Charger thanks to your video. You saved me a ton of money!

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

Happy to hear thanks 😊

[@DennysCountryLife]

Nicely done! You will save a lot of people a lot of money with this DIY video! Good job bro

[@MarkHudson2]

In my 2014 Charger, the actuator shown in this video is the recirc/outside flap, not the blend door. Thanks for the video as it was an encouragement.

[@joepop12000]

Thank you so much for the direction. It took a while to ratchet (reach)😁 the back screw out of the glove box right side actuator. But it is fixed! Thanks again...

[@shark70007000]

The one making noise for me, and stopped working completely, is behind the driver's side. So I have to remove the whole dash, from what I've read before. You got the easy one here. Since there is 4, I was thinking of getting all 4 to change at once. But this video shows that if I need to change that one, I don't have to pull the whole dash apart. So I guess I will just change 2 on the driver's side for now. May only be one clicking, but I'll do 2, just to be sure. Thanks for the video. 👍

As it's quite common to have them fail in the same way over and over again, I took it apart to see what's wrong with them. In reality the problem is with plastic pin that holds gears in place. It's quite weak and breaks off, so the gear is loose. Because of that the force of loaded gears pushes it out a bit and it skips. Quick and permanent fix would be drilling case where the pin was and replacing it with proper diameter nail. It won't break off again. If you have basic handcrafting skills you can do it yourself. It will be cheaper and hopefully permanent fix. As far as I understand, it works based on load. It will work rotating gear until it gets enough resistance, then it turns off. Because of skipping gears it can't get enough force to trigger stopping that and it clicks for awhile until kind of timeout shuts it off. It's safety thing. That's why it works and is only annoying. It rotates properly but when it gets final position, it still rotates making clicking noise instead of stopping in place. It won't break anything (other than actuator itself) and does the job so no worries about driving with broken one.

Heriberto Hernandez thank you

[@bernie472]

Great video! Mine is making a weird noise, but not really a "clicking" noise, more of a soft whining noise.. that starts and stops continually. But if the culprit is the one you just removed, than that is not too difficult at all. (I had my middle one replaced by the dealer a couple of years ago)

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

You should be able to pinpoint what one it is of the four by where the noise is coming from. Good luck

Now that I replaced the blend doors, it was working normal for a while. One day I rrplaced the tires and now the heat comes on and off for a while after starting it. So irritating when it's hot outside. Sometimes I get clicking on the right side. That is only once in a while. But the driver's side heat gets hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold, then it works normal.

[@birdwing98]

4:50 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee uses same part and original was make in Korea. Hope the Chinese built you a good one. As of March 2020, MOPAR has a newer part number: 68079488AB I've read Dorman made units do not last. Genuine OEM part here: www.moparamerica.com/oem-parts/mopar-actuator-68079488ab 6:58 It appears you have removed the FRESH/RECIRCULATE Actuator. If you press the RECIRC button on dash repeatedly, I would expect that motor shaft to change directions. For people having symptom of no adjustment of HOT/COLD on passenger side, that actuator would have been to the left of the one removed in this video. The actuator mounted highest and in center, controls where the air comes out: FOOT/FACE/WINDSHIELD 9:38 Test for proper operations BEFORE you re-install the dash.

[@jiayrahwright2859]

What about the four seasons brand? Have you heard anything on that

[@shameite74]

is that the actuator for the blend door for outside air coming into the cab?

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

Om not sure where it goes im sorry. It was clicking so I replaced it. Not sure how the system works

[@jillstone8154]

Can you tell me the part number i need to get for the driver and passenger actuator?

[@samgra67]

So just a question but does this apply the passenger side blend door actuator in a 2015 Dodge Charger? I turn my ac on and the driver side blows cold and the passenger side blows hot, had it diagnosed by dodge but they wanted $600 for the replacement if this is the problem then idk about the dealer services lol

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

Sam G yes

[@rodrickbrown1026]

Is it the same set up

[@rickyhedge]

@Anthony Lopez I have the same car and same problem as well. Replaced the bad blend door actuators and they still won't work properly

[@Someguy8822]

What about an 07 SRT charger with Actuator on driver side out. I just paid $375 to get it fixed by the dealership...

[@rickyhedge]

So this is my personal experience that I just went through. I have a 2015 dodge charger, I replaced the blend door actuators myself twice, had the HVAC recalibrated and none of that worked. I had to have the distribution housing replaced in my car. Total cost was priced at $1,900. 8 hours of labor and the part costed around $250.

[@samok3823]

Hey man mine has that problem it’s a 14 charger rt but it doesn’t make that tap noise instead it makes a buzzing noise what do you think it could be? Also it take long for it to change which vents blow the air if I have it on windshield air

Could still be the motor depending on what is broke on it. Mine was the plastic gear

[@samok3823]

No i dont think so there are 4 of these in the dash. They blend air for temp. You need the mode door actuator under dash by steering wheel I believe it controls where air is going Its explained here www.chargerforumz.com/threads/air-only-coming-out-of-defrost-vent.194700/
