- Chevy Camaro with no ac came in and diagnosed to have a broken blend door inside the air distribution box. I go over some of the ways this can be repaired along with some tip and tricks I used to replace this blend door without removing the dash. Applies to 2010-2015 Camaros. Show aftermarket aluminum blend door which would prevent repeated failure from happening - Never do this repair again 😁.

Thank you for making a video to share these steps. Almost seems like the blend door is designed to fail to create future service repairs.
Yeah I would agree the part could be made better and the electronic controls could be better as well. The blend door motor puts a ton of torque on the blend door at each end of the stroke before it shuts off.
I would highly recommend the aluminum blend door replacement so you dont have the same failure in the future.
Where did you get the aluminum door? And did you get the system doors relearned after this?
Blend door usa sells them, and you use a scanner to relearn on the blend door full open and full close. It will reduce the stress the motor puts on the door, but if you don't have a scanner it will still work without doing a relearn.
@@lillyautomotive thank you so much
If you do the replacement before you start put the cool heat knob in the middle. If you put it full one or the other you won't be able to get the motor to index into the door. It's hard to explain but you will understand when you have it apart.
Mechanic tried telling me they needed to take the dash off to replace the actuator 💀 don’t even gotta cut the damn thing to replace it.
Yeah i like the way you cut it !!! Im gonna use a solder gun and do the same
If you have a plastic welding stapler you can add a few of those in too, but it was plenty strong as is
QUESTION: am in the process of doing this repair and have hit a snag. The shaft on the actuator motor won’t align with any position that I can adjust the newly installed blend door. It's just slightly off but enough where I can’t even re-bolt the piece on. I’m thinking I can reset with a 9V battery, but can’t find the pin assignment to test. (GM Part # 92215208/ACDelco Part # 15-74128) Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your videos!
I had the same issue, what you need to do is plug everything in and turn the car on you don't have to start it but just turn the car on and then turn the temperature setting somewhere between hot and cold and it will move the actuator in the position where you can install it. When it's full hot or full cold the blend door won't line up with the actuator.
Where are you located and where did you get the aluminum door

I mention it in the video, I thought I put their information in the description but I guess I forgot to add it. It is a super high quality piece and worth the price they charge for it.
