2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0T Blend Door Actuator Replacement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2019
- Whenever I set my HVAC to main cabin air, it would not fully engage. It would "split" flow between the floor, cabin, and defrost. To get to the part, it required removing the glove box and passenger kick panel.
Thank you for making this video! Having exact problem just ordered the part.
did you try turning the heat all the way up and cycling through defrost etc to blow air everywhere? it just fixed mine
salty dog yes I was actually able to repair module without replacing
Hello, I’m having the same problem! It’s not blowing in my face, but it does defrost the back and does blow out cold and hot! If I turn it up you hear the blower go fast if you want it slow it also works ! So this would be the blend door actuator correct !???
@@ma93256 How was you able to do that?
@@julietsoto9111 yes
I can not get the glove box out! Are there screws at the bottom of the box where it hinges?
Im having same issue. Can you make a quick guide on how to remove the glove box? I know it's fixed and everything is back up but just a few tips. Thanks.
first thing to do is turn the heat all the way up on both sides and cycle through defrost, press every button etc. I did it and it fixed mine. It was hot on the passenger side, cold on the driver. 2015 ats
@@saltydog9321 Didn’t work on the 15 CTS
@@cad1995 keep trying it. Turn it all the way up to high on both sides, cycle through everything, turn it back down and see if it works. It's worked twice for me. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Good luck.
@@saltydog9321 This has also worked for me with same issue. Sometimes have to cycle through few times. Does this mean it’s the mode door actuator that is going bad?
@@saltydog9321 did that fix the issue with air coming out of floor vents and top vents at the same time?
Not blend door. This is Mode door.
Mode Door blend door is behind the blower motor housing you still have in place. The part is right for the blend door not the mode door part
As a technician at a dealership.. and have worked on cars with many HVAc issues the blendoor actuator is for the temperature mistire. Not the mode issue that a separate actuator. The mode door actuator, I’m really curious to know if this fixed it, I have the same car and I’m having an issue with the modes not switching properly, mode door is the only thing I and a few techs can think of being the issue after relearn/reprogramming the HVAC system
Did you figure this out? I have the exact problem as described. Air vents will not blow on face, only floor and defrost. Thx.
I'm having the same issue
@@cwilson375 change out the blower motor resister. It fixed my issue.
@@alwayslegitwas it just the control module that you replaced?
Could you link the actual part? Looks to be several options between the 5 terminal and 4 terminal
did you turn up the heat to max on both sides and switch it all around through defrost etc? it just fixed it for me
Got the same problem on a 14 cts, heat and ac blow the right temps, but only to the floor and defrost vents...
Im having same problem on 14 ats
Did you ever get it fixed? If so what’d you do?
No I haven't, honestly just wanna get rid of the car.
@@allergik2broke hate to hear it, i love my car to death so im just having to deal with it but at least it’s blowing to my face and feet at the same time my car just take longer to cool down now
I have a 13 ATS that blows cold on LO but warm on driver
Did you find the solution to this? I got hot air coming out the driver but cold on the passenger
Y’all find answers to this?
@@user-lm5ix6tj8n I am having the same issue with mine and the one thing that I keep running into is needing to replace this part. I'll let you know how it goes. Definitely a pain in the arse thus far!
How did you remove the glove box?
turn the heat up on both sides to max. cycle through all the buttons, defrost, whatever. just move the air around. It just fixed it for me
Thats the recirculation door actuator,that controls air from outside to inside thats not the temperature actuator
I don't think that's the bland door. That's is the inside outside air intake. The bland sore that Blanca cold and hot air is left side but in the passenger side.
Any tips on removing the glove box and the plastic surrounding as you did in the video? I am attempting to make the same repair but could not get the glovebox completely off. I got all the visible screws and it was detached at top and sides but something was missed at bottom. I removed 2 visible screws but it was still held in place.
You have to remove the the airbag that's right below the glove box. 2 10mm nuts under the plastic cover. Once the airbag is removed there is two screws that are holding the glove box in on the bottom. TAKE THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL SIDE OF THE BATTERY OFF OF THE BATTERY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE AIRBAG!!!!!!!!!! I'm not responsible for any injuries that may occur. Handling airbags should only be done by a trained professional. Proceed at your own risk.
@@MontexansHomestead great that sounds really complicated for a girl like me 😂
Did that actually fix it, though? The problem you describe called for replacement of the mode door actuator, not the blend door actuator. I have the same problem you described - the air coming out of the HVAC system isn’t switchable between the defrost vents, a/c vents, and the floor vents anymore. It only blows out the defrost vents for me.
I'm having the same problem and I'm trying to diagnose it which one to replace and how did you ever find an answer
Sophia Geary Mullins I ended up paying $2k at the dealer. The official service manual’s labor-intensive procedure includes having to take the doors off the car to get at the $40 part.
Douglas O'Brien Have 2016 ATS. Only blowing out of floor and defrost vents. Dealer quoted $1900 to repair. Insanity for a $40 part.
Dan E Yep, blame the engineers who made zero effort to build easy serviceability into their design. It would have been easy to foresee this issue and alter the design to make it easier for the mechanics to get to this part of the HVAC system.
Douglas O'Brien Beyond that, this part should not fail on a 4 year old car with 70k miles. Guess I’ll learn to live with it. No way I’m sinking 2 grand into this car for that problem.
I have ats 2017 2.0t and srx 2016 .now the ats dealer changed the battery before I purchase it and I noticed the ac blowing power is less compared to the sound plus the ac compressor goes off for around 10 seconds while I drive on reduced speed..yesterday they changed my srx battery and now I'm complaining of the exact same thing...what could be the problem????
same thing happened on 2017 xts after a jump start
How did you remove glovebox?
Yes I am having trouble removing the glove box! Thanks
Dude fuck yes mate I have this exact car and I'm doing the same thing thanks for the video
Did it fix the issue? Im having the same problem right now and with this texas heat it aint helping. And by any chance do you have a part number for it?
My 2014 ats blows only hot air on the passenger side, Could this fix it
turn up the heat on both sides to max, see if that fixes it
Unfortunately no that "Flap" does not control temp, only controls where the air is sent to - feet/body vents etc.
salty dog my car is doing the same I’m going to try this right now! But eventually I’m gonna have to fix this! Im afraid of going to the dealership where they are going to charge a lot of money
Do you know where the location is for the driver side actuator?
I was doing my driver side today but man its something else pretty hard to reach and remove it's kind of like a base with 2 actuators
Ive been trying to get this part from parts store and dealer they both given me the wrong one.. do you have a link to where you bought the actuator??
Mine is blowing hot/warm on passenger side in cool mode. I’m cool on drivers side but no one wants to ride with me anymore.
turn the heat all the way up on both sides. it fixed mine just now
Turn pass side to max temp... Turn car off. Open door. Close door. Turn car back on. Then turn pass side temp down
Omg! My car is doing this right now! I’m afraid I’m gonna have to go to the dealership where they can fix it! But I know it’s going to be very expensive!
@@yoliramis48 turn the heat all the way up, and back down
@@yoliramis48 on both sides
Mode door, not temp blend door 👍
that's the recirc door actuator
Sir show the glove box removal!!!!!!!
I have a 2013 ATS and when I call for heat, it blows cold on the passenger side. Would it make sense that this actuator would be bad? Thanks!
it's very possible. one thing i would try is pulling power on the HVAC controller which is located under the glove box. It will be covered by a kick panel. You will see a black box about the size of a large book with several connectors. Unplug them all and replug.
Russell Beermann thank you so much for this content. Definitely will subscribe. Jw I have the same car as above.. would this suggestion or what you have shown this video fix for the opposite problem.. when calling for cold air it blows heat on passenger side??
@@fourfrontJust replaced door actuator and still having same issue. When heat is on, only being delivered to the drivers side and not the passenger side. No matter which mode I’m in. Has the plug and unplug worked for others and how exactly does that resolve this annoying issue? Oh and thanks for the content!
Some of you are asking how to remove the glove box. This guy shows you how on a 2018 xts. Hope it helps some of you: ua-cam.com/video/bvcJWShuNg0/v-deo.html
That’s a mode door you are showing
Thats the recirc door actuator...
My passenger side temperature adjustment actuator has now died. Today's quote from the dealer for this exact fix: $1,880.00. I said forget it. This will be my first and last GM product. This would have made $5,000 total in AC repairs since the car was new.
Most definitely it the blend door the entire dash has to come off for that sorry
Not a good video you didn’t show first to the last
