i own a nissan rogue 2014 is only blowing air to the defrost vents is not blowing any air to the front dash vents, do i need to replace that same one you replaced on that video or the yellow one next to it ???
@ismaelrodriguez4739 the one I repaired only adjusts the hot and cold. It may be the one above or there is another one on the passenger side. If you take off the stepper motor, try to turn the white hex hub with your finger with the fan on low. If it adjusts the vent then that’s the one. Then check to see if the motor stob moves when you turn the vent dial on the AC control. If it works, it may be the hex hub is cracked. Try some of the repairs featured in the comments. There are a few good ones.
Your video saved us from paying the Nissan dealership 2700. My wife is on the road and super cozy and warm, I couldn't be more relieved. Thank you so much.
Jeffrey that’s so awesome! You are very welcome. Thank you so much for watching, fixing her car, and letting me know. Your relief and her comfort only took you a few minutes of your day. I’m sure she is grateful and very proud of you for taking such good care of her.
Thanks for your video . Cost me $45 for that part and 2hours for fixing it . 1hour45” just for back and forward looking for the tools to unscrew only 1 farther in air vent screw😅. Fixed finally.
Thanks for the detailed A to Z video . I fixed my problem with your help. All the other videos I looked at just assumed that I knew how to take off the panels to get to the Blend door motor.
That’s awesome Warren. I’m glad to have helped you fix your issue. That’s why I make the videos this style. Even for folks that may not have ever picked up a tool, hopefully give them the confidence to take a chance and do it. Good job man.
Thank you so much! This is literally the video i needed. Going to try this fix soon. The problem sounds exactly like mine. Turn it to heat but no heat, i didnt know you could feel the heater core from down there to see if its the problem either
Awesome Josh. Find the second video of it. The blend door mechanism was damaged and I made a repair to it when it kept failing with a new stepper motor.
Thank you for the video. I think that this is exactly what is the problem with my 2019 Rouge. It will not blow hot air to the floor, it blows both hot & cold air everywhere else. Just not the floor, so I will check this out 👍
That’s awesome Cliff. There are 3 stepper motors in these systems. One for the temp, one for the diverter( floor, windshield, main vents), and the fresh recirculating air. If you have individual temp control, there may be a fourth for the passenger side temp. Check out the linked video in the description in case it is not the motor. Could be a cracked blend door drive bore. Good luck. Let me know if you solve it.
@@HammerWrench 2016 Rogue all temps / control work Blow fan works in all speeds .No airflow through the system . Blend door control ? Are there 3 stepper ( blend doors) in this system ? Any idea ? Thanks
@@billbinder4953 have you verified that the fan is working? It is accessed from the passenger side. If you are getting zero air flow and can not hear the fan blowing, start there. If the fan is blowing, then pull off the other stepper motor that controls the zone direction. If it is dual zone, there will be two of them I believe.
1-You need to plug in the stepper motor unmounted. 2-Start car and turn temp dial to hot. Look at the stepper motor to see the stob move. 3-Turn white blend door (circle) hub with your finger until heat comes out the vent. 4- Mount the stepper motor back onto the blend door hub and screw it down.
Thanks for the video. Would the same be true if the a/c does not blow cold air and the compressor is good and freon is full? There are times when the air "appears" cooler (but still warm as if a/c isn't turned on) when recirc is pressed. Mechanic said compressor was bad so it was replaced and no improvement. Then he replace solar sensor, no improvement. Haven't tried the heat since it's been hot outside.
I would bet it’s the stepper motor slipping in the blend door bore. Try and take it apart and verify. There is a second video if the bore is cracked or stripped.
Thank you! I believe there may be. Especially if it is a dual temp zone. There is one other in the drivers side higher up than the blend door. It’s worth a shot to repair to save money from going to the dealer.
I noticed there is another actuator beside the one you replaced with an orange sticker. Do you know if the other motor operates the mode? (Defrost, front vents, floor vents)
I’m gonna say that is a good guess. There is also one on the other side that may operate the fresh and recirculating air vent. I haven’t taken those out to be 100%. I do know if a car has dual temp, there will be a fourth one on the passenger side.
My 2015 Rouge left side doesn't blow like I want. (Blows hot when I want cool and vice versa). You mean all I need is a bend door?? Thanks for the information, I'll check into it!
It could be the blend door stepper motor OR the little white hex bore is stripped. I have 2 videos covering both. There is also some info in the comments from viewers that shared their findings. Hope you get it fixed. It’s not real hard and saves you $2700 from Nissan!
Nice video but you fast forward through the hardest step of them all with getting that back screw to loosen. You only have about an inch of space. How did you do it? What tool did you have to use to get it out?
Thank you so much! Question, you didn't replace the other side. I was thinking while I'm in there to do both. Good idea or just wasting time and money?
You’re welcome! I didn’t replace the other side since the vent door motor still functions properly. If you want to knock it out in one punch then that’s a great idea. In this situation, the stepper motor still worked and it was the blend door hex socket that had been stripped. I had to use hot glue but may need epoxy to securely fasten and take up slack in the hole. Make sure the door is manually clocked to the setting the AC calls for, before reinstalling. You can twist with your finger tip while the AC is on.
Wow, that was a fast reply. I'm still not sure which way to turn the motor to match the settings on the heater. Also now I'm thinking after seeing you second video is to check that part you clued first before ordering the motor. If I get the motor out, but leave it plugged in still. How should the motor function if working properly? Thinking of testing it first and see about that socket.
@tomstrickland4686 I’m here to be helpful. Take the motor off. Start the car and adjust the temp and see if the little knob turns. If it does, the stepper motor is good. Look into the white hex socket and if you see cracks or signs of the motor stub stripping it, then that’s your issue. Now for clocking the blend door, if your AC is calling for heat while the engine is running, put your hand in front of the vent. If u feel heat then the position is correct. If you feel cool or cold, put your finger in/on the white hex nut and twist. The fan speed should make the blend door move easier. Check the vent for heat. If it is not correct, then leave the car running while you make the repair. The fan will hold the door position. If you turn it off it will fall into the middle or cold position.
Absolutely! That door handles both. Just make sure to plug in the stepper motor while the AC is running. Watch the wheel on the motor turn and stop. Then turn the white gear until you feel cold air coming out. Leave it running and screw it in. If the white gear has cracks or is stripped out inside, see my follow up video addressing that issue. Good luck and let me know how it goes. 🤘
Yes that’s the same part. I did a part 2 of the repair since the stepper motor replacement didn’t fix it. There’s a lot of good info in the comments from other’s repairs as well.
Good evening, i have the situation where no air comes out of the front window ( decifrar vent) . Even at maximum nothing comes out and I feel the wind coming out of my foot area. Can you help with any idea. Thanks
That’s going to be one of the other stepper motors. There is another on the drivers side and one on the passenger side. I’m not sure which controls the vent door, but the inspection is exactly the same. Check to see the motor working when you remove it. If it does, check the hex bore for cracks and stripping.
Beginner here! A bit confused on the part where you pause and say to turn the circle to make sure the flaps move. What flaps? Also are you saying the split in the white part should be facing straight up towards the dashboard?
The split is a crack. The flap is inside the black enclosure. When you put the heat on and you have the motor plugged in but not mounted, you turn the circle to make sure heat comes out the vents. When it does the motor also turns the proper direction. Then put the motor back and it should be good and functional. If the motor works before doing any of that, look for my other video showing how to glue the motor into the circle. The motor can strip the inside and let it slip and not turn the circle. ua-cam.com/video/XBImdJYSBMo/v-deo.html
@@HammerWrench thank you! Turns out it was stripped. I’m watching your other video. Concerned about super glueing the part and trying to think of an alternative
If the thermostat is on heat, it’s the drivers side motor that’s malfunctioning. If it’s on cool, it’s the passenger side. Before you order parts, verify which side isnt working then pull that motor and adjust the temp and see if the motor shaft moves. If it does, then it’s the blend door socket that may have stripped. You can use hot glue or epoxy in the socket and replace the motor. Before you do, you may have to manually turn the blend door socket with your finger to whatever temp the AC is calling for. If you don’t, the motor will strip in the socket when the door binds from being in the wrong position.
1-You need to plug in the stepper motor unmounted. 2-Start car and turn temp dial to hot. Fan on high. Look at the stepper motor to see the stob move. 3-Turn white blend door (circle) hub with your finger until heat comes out the vent. 4- Mount the stepper motor back onto the blend door hub and screw it down.
I don’t own it so I am not sure. I do know the drive of the motor was spinning inside the bore(white part) of the blend door. The cracks allowed it to do that. The old motor actually still worked but I never saw that problem addressed in anyone’s video, so I just replaced it. I thought the cracks were from the mould the first time I saw them.
Check it out for sure. If it has cracks, my repair has worked for several days now for the owner. Make sure that you follow the method of clicking the blend door all the way to Heat with your finger and roll the temp dial to heat with the motor plugged in. Otherwise it could bind up the door while the motor still tries to turn it, causing clicking.
That is possible. To verify, turn your engine on and your AC on and listen to see if the compressor is engaging. Also see if both fans are running. If they are, your stepper motor may have it stuck on heat. When you take the little motor out per the video, leave the plug in it. While turning the temperature dial, watch the little black nub to see if it spins. If it doesn’t then it’s bad. If it does, check my fix video for a cracked blend door drive. ua-cam.com/video/XBImdJYSBMo/v-deo.html
Yeah I watched another video on a temporary fix I have been doing. I have been blowing them on heat for 5 minutes then turning it back down then it’s back to cool. So it does blow cold after doing that.
@@RamSahuri sounds like your motor works and your blend door drive is cracked. It lets the motor spin inside its bore and not let it move. Try turning off the fan speed, then adjust the temp and see if it works better. The AC fans force on the blend door may not let it adjust if the fan is on.
You can turn the white bore with your finger. To know which is hot or cold, run the air and turn it. What ever temp comes out, you’ll know what direction the door needs to go. Then plug in the motor and see that it turns towards the direction that the temp is set at. Then make sure the door is at that direction as well. Leave the air on max so it will hold the door in position while you put the motor back in place.
Your fan is probably bad. It is on the passenger side of the center stack. I’m sorry I don’t have a video of how to replace but I found one that looks easy to get access. Don’t let the amount of parts worry you. Just take pictures of every step and it will help you reinstall the dash parts. ua-cam.com/video/A6dalQ81tHE/v-deo.html
You have to make sure the door position is set at the same as the motor before installing the motor. Use your finger to manually move the door at the white hex socket to the temp the AC is calling for. Have the motor wire plugged in and see that the drive spins to the correct position before installing. If all that fails, your drive socket is probably stripped and may need to epoxy the motor drive to the socket.
