    I came back to say thanks, Chris (737mechanic)! I followed your instructions and 3 years of no A/C in this Texas heat has been resolved. Saved me $5k from my local shop. I used an electric hot knife from Amazon. Took me about 4 hours because I ended up pulling out both seats to deep vacuum and shampoo the carpets lol.

    I could cry, I have AC and heat again for the first time in months thanks to this video (and my husband for doing the work). I almost croaked when the repair shop told me the total cost could get up into the thousands.
    My husband did use the weakest setting on his dremel and a bit with low profile teeth to speed up the plastic cutting, and managed to execute it perfectly.

    I followed your instructions step by step. Used a heat X acto electric knife. Took 5 hours cuz I took my time reviewing each step. AC is Freezing now! Heater is hotter than Hell.

    First, thank you so much for taking the time out to show us how to replace the blend door. I live in the midwest and my heat stopped working about 2 yrs ago. I was very nervous about doing this myself especially with the heatee core being so close to the blend door but I was able to fix it with no issues. For any woman reading this, if I can do it so can you. Just watch his video from beginning to end first, get every tool that he suggested, remove the car seat and get a pillow for your back then go to work. It might look challenging but it's not. Might is back working now. Again, thank you so much!

      I had an engineer drive from a neighboring state to have me do this job that he started and got part way through and decided it was too much to finish so you should be proud. I have done 15 of these now and most have been for men who didn't have the confidence to follow the video and do it themselves.
      Good job and glad it helped you.

    For anyone that doesn’t have a scan tool. It’s not 100% necessary. All I did was disconnect battery and after finishing and connecting everything back. The only problems I encountered was tpms was all dashes and the compass was saying “CAL”. But literally after driving it for 5 seconds everything went back to normal. With the patience and tools you’ll get it done.

  • @joemarks3719
    @joemarks3719 Рік тому +6

    Got the door cut and out today, wasn't too bad, took a few hours, but I didn't get in any hurry.
    Only thing I would add is the horizontal screw for the air duct was a Hex 20 on my car and not a 7mm. Mine is a 2012 2SS.
    When you get these two screws out pull down towards you and rotate clockwise, the duct comes right out.
    The only issue I have now is trying to fish out the broke end, and the white connector piece, but I'll tackle that tomorrow.
    I used the borescope and unfortunately, they both are about 1/2 way down to the passenger side, approx. 6"-7" away from the hole I cut.
    I tried a vacuum with an end on it that would hold them at the end without pulling them into it, but it didn't reach far enough.
    I guess I'll try a long screwdriver tomorrow.
    Thanks for the video, made it much easier to do.

  • @danieljones8587

    I have a 2010 Camaro with the same issue. The A/C mechanic I took it to installed a valve on the heater hose, you close it for A/C and open it for heat. He said he did not know how to fix the blend door and this way was the most practical fix he knew of.
    Today I found this video and ordered a new blend door off Amazon. Also, when on the order page an electric hot knife popped up. So Amazon must know about this fix. It will be nice to switch from heat to A/C without having to stop and turn the valve and burn the shit out of your fingers. 😮

    I finally replaced my blend door last night. I started at 9:45p and by 11:30p the new part was in and secured. I think I could have knocked this out even quicker but a few things held me up.
    1. The plastic piece that you cut off to access the blend door, TRIM it like this video suggests. I tried to put it back in without trimming it and I couldn't align it right. I fought it for a while before giving up and then trimmed it. It went in right away after.
    2. The AC vent tube that is removed at the beginning needs to be put in first when you are reassembling it and the BCM pieces/wires. I tried installing the BCM first and then the vent tube and failed miserably. Once I took out the BCM (and the bracket it is in) the vent tube reattached easily.
    3. Get a GOOD light. I can't stress this one enough as there is very little room down there to work in and you can't see anything without a good light you can reposition over and over to get good views of everything.
    If you need something good to cut the access door with, I hight recommend this ($40) plastic welder. I bought it several years ago for other projects and it worked great for this project too! There is a rounded tip that comes with it that was perfect for the job. It took me about 5 minutes to cut out the plastic piece., seriously 5 minutes if that!!

Since having this repair done I've num a rous problems with my 2012 45th anniversary Ed ss. In this video I heard mention of a scan tool that resets any faults... would any such faults cause actual problems to the mechanical quality of my car? Maybe you xan tell that I've no idea about mechanics I got my dream car n since this shop "helped " me with this same problem u address jn the video it's been a nightmare. The shop is now shut down closed up gone bye bye so I've little recourse n fewer dollars to spare going to gm or Chevy is obviously the biggest fear in my nightmare. Please any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've got "stabilitrack" lights n messages as well as engine codes 303 n 353 which h from another video I saw say a they're all connected believe it or not n yes I've done spark plugs n tune up n compression Tests. Any ideas welcome. Thank in advance

    Just recently did this repair and while my air is still a bit cool compared to what it was, is it possible if you didn’t seal that plastic back up that the air that’s escaping could be coming in contact with the heater core resulting in it blowing warmer than it should? That’s literally the only thing I didn’t do and it started off fairly cool but today it felt warm again. The door seems to work cause I can tell the difference in temp otherwise.

      Two things, first make sure it is fully charged, second, have someone do a door calibration to make sure it opens and closes all the way.

    This was a very helpful video and I appreciate you doing it. However I just finished doing this on my 2014 Camaro. I must say this is the hardest repair I've ever done to a vehicle in my life. I struggled almost all the way through it. Lying on my back wasn't good either it made me nauseous and sick. If someone offered me $3,000 to fix their car this way I would refuse. I did however spend the money for the billet blend door so hopefully it will never break again and if it does I know I'm not fixing it. Thanks again for your video I probably couldn't have got this done without it.

    Thank you for this video! SO detailed. I was able to knock this out in about 3 hours. Unfortunately I should've got the scope because once i got to the blend door it was perfectly fine. I replaced it anyway with the new one since i was down there. I never thought I'd actually HOPE it was my blend door. My car still blows hot air in the summer and im suspecting will blow cold air in the winter again. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Maybe it's something as simple as recharging the AC/Leak. Its a 10 year old Camaro with 92k miles. Any suggestions on what the issue could be ?

      Look and see if the compressor is engaged when the engine is running and if so, feel the aluminum low side line that is next to the master cylinder and see if it is cold, if it isn't then check the refrigerant charge.

      The problem with using a dremel is the cut will be thicker than using a hot knife and the most important is if you even touch the evaporator or heater core you will grind through them. The purpose of using a hot knife is NOT being able to cut through either of those.

I even tried to jump the compressor. But the weird thing is it engaged for the first time , I saw .. a few days ago ,when it was kinda cool outside.. 1st time ever since I had my Camaro since January .. i need all kinds of advice , trying to get it done this week before this 110 degree weather end me 😭

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  Рік тому

      No, the blend air door will not have any effect on the compressor. If you know it is fully charged check the temp sensor. Watch this video on this Camaro blowing ice crystals, the temp sensor is what causes the compressor to cycle and if the temp sensor is stuck at a temp showing under 38 degrees the compressor will never come on. ua-cam.com/video/_AYCzuww-Mo/v-deo.html

    • @737mechanic

      So if you just barely put it in and with the key on turn the temp selector you should see the door open and close if it is not broken if it is you will not see it move. If you were to look straight through the hole the door coupling would be just below the hole. The video below is another video showing the boroscope in action.

Remove the cabin air filter. Have someone turn the AC to on and over to heat. You can clearly see the blend door moving. Of.course that was after I fixed it. So if it's broken. The blend door shouldn't move back and forth.
