    Came back to say I have never done any repair on a car.
    Ever. I JUST learned how to check all the fluids.
    Watched this video and was able to replace all 3 actuators in my 2010 challenger. I'm currently sitting in victorious AC . Thank you!!

    So awesome to see a video for this. Mine has been doing the click for awhile. If it clicks, I can use the AC. If it doesn't click, It get only hot air. SOOO glad to see I don't have to take out the dash.

      Thank you! Yeah, on many cars you do have to pull out the whole dash but thankfully on these Challengers it’s a much easier job.

    Been looking for a video to find out what the heck is making that noise on my 2011 Challenger, and also, it got stuck on heat. So, I capped off the hose going in the car. I'm in Florida, so I don't need heat. I'm still hearing that awful stupid noise at times. So I'm sure it's exactly what you're fixing. Thank you for a great video.

    I got a 2011 here and it just started doing this, thank you for the video showing how to get to them and explaining which dials controlled them individually. I didn’t know how to diagnose, and mine is intermittent not constant so I wasn’t sure of how to go about it. I was thinking that the dash had to be removed.

    I have a 2012 Dodge Challenger SXT that a slow knock sound comes from the dash (around the RPM & Temp gauge) soon as I open the door before starting car. I watched your video & many others that say it's the Actuator from the AC. But the sound coming from my dash isn't a rapid clicking, just a funny knock several time without the AC on. It knocked today several times when I was traveling with the AC on. When I turn engine off it knocks again but not a fast clicking. Could this still be the Artuator or someting else? Thank you very much for all your help!!

    Jack great video. My 2013 Challenger, have AC, but no heat at all. No clicking noises, HVAC used to flash at start up but have stopped. I figure that top drivers actuator. My neighbour got B11CC-00 & B105C-00 codes on his scan. I wondered if this happened during alternator recall or passenger air bag recall fixes? As I believe battery likely unhooked at those two fix dates. Any ideas....I am freezing. Thanks

      Most auto parts stores will have it (O’Reillys, Autozone, etc)
      Or you could get it from the dealer if you want an original factory part.

      The third is for the recirculation door and it’s on the passenger side.
