My 13 Avenger R/T just started doing this!!! Thanks for publishing the fix! Now I feel comfortable doing it myself.
Thank you so much for this video. We were told it would cost around $1000 to fix it.
glad it helped you out.
Thanks bud, you save me money. My sons car failed inspection and the crooks wanted 420.00 to fix this problem. You are the man, thanks again.
the first actuator you showed is for the vent selection....do you know what the actuator you replaced is for and exactly what it does? Do you know what the third is for ? ...getting weak airflow on my passenger side cheers !
I have the same problem with 2011 Chrysler 300C, this helps me, thank you for the video.
Glad it helped you out
Thank you very much for this video. Such good detail on the removal makes it so the new install isn't really necessary. So, no problem there. I just got a used 2012 Touring 200, and the entire car is damn good, except for this issue. They told me about the issue up front. I'm surprised they didn't just fix it.
But, the WHOLE A/C (all vents) are blowing even warm air. I'm thinking the A/C system, including a charge, is also in need of service. The warranty says that it covers A/C. They told me that it would "except" for these blend doors. I hope they honor the recharge work at least.
Thanks again
Thanks for the video, it was a great help.
glad it helped ou out.
would this apply to a 2010 Sebring also ? Do you need to disconnect the battery? Thanks
Thank you this actually helped me alot!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video! Helped me replace one on my car today!
Glad it helped!
Dude this was the answer man!
C&C ...is there ever a need in this series of Chryslers (my 200 is a 2013 year model) to calibrate or clock the HVAC system after R & R of blend door actuators?
EDIT follows below:
After reading through more Comments and Replies I believe the actuator I need to replace is the exact same as in this vid. Also I now recall it is clicking upon activating or activation of the Recirculation On-Off feature/control.
As a compliment to all said here I will add that I received this 2013 Chrysler in May 2019 it had 85K miles on the clock. In just a short two days the clicking began up under the dash left side. Dealer was fair and honest and had that one replaced. Then within a few months winter hit and the blend door actuator failed and I had no heat. I presume that's the one left of the glovebox/heater core location, once again my sympathetic dealer had this one R & R'd at no cost to me.
Now within a month or less the one in this video (Recirc. Actuator) is shot.
I'm going to attempt the R & R myself on this one.
By the by, the dealer is '66 Auto Sales' in Kingman, AZ Very pleased to give them a 'Thumbs Up'.
No the HVAC controller will self calibrate
Thanks alot... you really helped me out
glad it helped
Thankyou! I know now. Was getting on my nerves! LoL.. I will fix it myself. Thankyou for the detail in your video!
I was able to fix this myself in 3 hours. Basically I replaced the wrong one because I could feel the clicking in it. However, I didn't check the other one. When I did check it, it was clicking a lot harder. So make sure to check both.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for this video
I just fixed it all by myself.. with your help..
glad it helped
Dealer quoted 400-500 to fix this on my 2012. Looks like it takes 15 mins if you know what your doing. The part is under 100. Thank you:)
Glad it helped
Where R u located!...need for u to fix mine!
Do you have any tips for troubleshooting the right rear door sensor on the same car. The light & dome lights stay on when door is closed. The "door" indicator on dash stays on too.
You would need to find a wiring diagram that shows that door sensor and determine if the switch is not showing closed when the door is closed. It should also allow you to "close" the circuit through the wiring and see if the light goes off when you do that. Don't know much about the wiring for that off the top of my head.
@@CharlesAndCars Thank you for responding. I'll check into that option.
What is that teather for??? And also what are the timing marks on the part that you replaced? I guess it can only go one way, because of the teeth are missing on the door and the motor unit, and it has to go in one way.....My door is shut when the motor is removed..does it stay that way while installing the new motor assy.?
Not sure what you mean by tether... Possibly the tether to the glove box that keeps it from falling completely open when you open it?
@@CharlesAndCars That is exactly it...since I wrote this...I seen, or found out what its for...my is missing the little plastic thing on the end of the string...so i will make something else work..thanks..
My 2013 200 needs the same R & R of this actuator. I believe this is the one that controls the RECIRCULATION mode. If I hear the clicking sound I can get it to stop by pressing the Recirculation control button. Oddly the noise occurs when I have the car key out of the ignition and the doors are closed and I'm by chance standing nearby when I hear the clicking for a few seconds. I guess some computer is sensing some aspect of the ambient temp or position of the HVAC controls and then sends a signal to the actuator to respond accordingly.
OR?
thanks orderws the part now I can get it fixed
Thanks brother
Hey Charles I have a 2014 Chrysler 200 and a couple of weeks ago my heat stopped working. But I’m hearing no clicking noises but I’m hearing no noises when I change my temperature. I believe it’s the same actuator that you took out that’s causing my problem and input in appreciated
It's hard to say. Could be the actuator is not working at all ... no clicking noise.
Hello Mister thanks for this information, because a got the same probleme with this ventilation thank you very much
my heat is not working on the passenger side but i do not hear any clicking, is there 2 different parts? heat actuator and blend door?
The actuator is what moves the blend door... There are 3 different actuators on that car. I could be that the actuator isn't working at all and not moving the door.
Where is the 3rd one at?
Do u know how many blender ACT..are in a 2008 Chrysler 300 lx..2.7..same PLACE..I'm getting charged 200$.. thinking I could do that..
From what I'm seeing the single zone heat/ac has one and it looks like the dual zone has 2.
Is this why I'm getting cool air from passenger vents ...warm from drivers when heat is on ?
It could be. One of the actuators if for temperature and if it's not working correctly than it could cause that issue. Are you hearing any clicking? Also could be a problem with the blend door.
was clogged heater core but flushed it out ...back flush ..and all is well but weak air flow on passenger side vent closest to window
I really don't think it's heater core. This is a common problem and I have no solution yet. I have a call in to Chrysler & you should call too. They should find a solution and then recall. People have flushed heater core, replaced heater core with no luck after spending $1500-$2000.
www.carcomplaints.com/Chrysler/200/2012/AC_heater/heater_doesnt_work_passenger_side.shtml
when yours was clicking did you have problems with it blowing hot on one side and cold on the other.
Don't remember what the symptoms were, but it's very possible that one side would be cold and the other hot. There are 3 actuators in the car and 1 is for the blend door... If it's not working then you very well could get split between hot and cold.
How do u know which one is the issue if its not clicking? And i do have heat working a little on the drivers side near the door
You hear no clicking at all? Heat is the same no matter which mode you're in? There are 3 different actuators, (blend door, recirculation, and mode). I believe, if I remember correctly, the blend door actuator is the one behind the glovebox to the left of the HVAC distribution... the recirculation actuator is to the right behind the glovebox... What you can do is swap them to see if that corrects the heat issue... (all 3 in the car are the same). If that corrects the heat issue then you'll know that the one originally to the left of the HVAC distribution (blend door actuator) was bad...
Charles And Cars. No clicking at all thats correct.
Do you know which one it is? Left or right side of the glovebox?
Is this also what stops hot air from flowing? Ac is great, but when i switch my geqt on.it blows cold
Yes, it's the blend door that controls the temperature
@@CharlesAndCars which one controls the temperature?
Thank you ! I feel like I can diy this one
Glad it helped
@@CharlesAndCars my 2012 Chrysler 200 3.6 touring isn’t making a noise but it has heat on drivers side and very little heat on passenger side, I flushed the heater core and it fixed nothing, what do u think it could possibly be? Thank u in advance
Where is the 3rd actuator? I can't find anyone that knows.
It seems mine is the 3rd actuator, where is it located? The 2 in the video are not the one clicking for me
I believe this shows the location of all e

@@CharlesAndCars thanks, I found out and fixed it, it was a huge pita, but the video definitely helped, thanks
Is doesn’t click, however no heat is coming. Just cold air. Would this fix it?
Hard to say. You would need to make sure that voltage is getting to the actuator and the actuator is not responding. It's possible that the actuator is not working at all and it's just not responding.
Thank you, I'm having the same problem and it's draining my battery is. It taps even when my car is off with no key in the ignition. That mean it's running even when the car is off draining the battery
Did you find out if that was the actual problem? I don't think the actuator would be its own reason to run when it's off
@@cdiers26 I think I is the blower for the air conditioner now. I'm now sure
@@finemissime what I've been reading is that it's the tipm (the fuse box modual) I have the same problem but I unplugged the actuator. Now my dash lights flicker and the radio goes quiet ECT ECT
@@cdiers26 yes, at one time I took out one of the fuses for the interior lights at night so it would not drain the battery overnight
PN 604-021, the one i ordered is 604-029. What’s the difference?
Don't know why that shows as not fitting... That's the one that came from the supply house and it did fit... I see that the 604-029 is listed as a correct fit for the 2011.
Old video and I doubt you’ll see this but: I have heat on the driver side and cool air on the passenger. Any guess which actuator to replace? None are clicking. Clearly the blend door isn’t functioning properly to send hot to the passenger, just wanted to pick your brain before I pull an actuator that’s not defective. Thank you!
Sometimes if you can get your hand on them you can feel them move when you change modes. lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/PTUYpG0bTEIb2mwDMNrNTUtf8odUKreGp5SxMGY9zReRPQiZK_fVYji3MyV3Jo8kxAft4tWvX-BpE7wwCKXDpXyCciGAhGnx1rqeZ-4DbA=w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu
Its your heater core. The Chrysler 200 early models have poorly designed heater cores. They clog. I've replaced mine twice. Look for the easy trick on replacing them where you cut the aluminum pipes and avoid removing the steering wheel and entire dash.
Incase anyonenis wondering the 3rd on the driver behind the steering wheel.
Have you been able to find the 3rd one?
If I remember correctly there are 2 on the passenger side and one on the driver's side.

Thank you
You're welcome
You just saved me $400.
glad it helped
All 3 of the actuators are the same part???

looks like this is a common problem with the Dodges. My Avenger does the same thing
I can’t find actuator 🤦🏽♀️
On this video you say you do not know where the third actuator is. Well to let you know it is under the steering wheel.
Thanks
Charles And Cars I’m having an issue of air conditioner blowing hot on drivers side and cold on passengers side. Please help. It’s chrysler 200 2011
check the blend doors... it's very possible that one of the blend door motors is not working correctly...
Under the steering wheel exactly
Joe Nagy where exactly under the steering wheel,please help it sounds like something is moving inside my dash board
Should be a recall my 2014 300 is doing this
Really common issue on that series of car....
3rd one is on the driver side towards the wheel
I just had some work done on my ac and then this happen. but looks like it is an easy fix. if I take it to the dodge house or dealer, they will charge a lot money for fixing a simple problem.
Looks like my blower is busted. No clicking, but also no airflow.
U take the old one out...u put the new one in.. u take the old one and just throw it out.. u do the hokey pokey and u turn urself around

These cars are some of the worst vehicles ever built. I've put almost as much money into repairs as I paid tmfor the piece of shit
The actuator seems to be a problem for all of them.
