- Video Correction there are 3 actuators on a tahoe not two.
THIS IS A FIX FOR 4x4 1997 CHEVY TAHOE OFFROAD TRUCK WITH DEFROST STUCK , FIXING AC , FIXING HEAT, BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR , 1995 -1999 PART 1 , PART 2 WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE ENDING
I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR DOOR FLAP WHICH CAME LOOSE AND GOT STUCK OPEN UNDER THE CENTER DASH WHERE THE FLOOR BLOWER IS LOCATED. IT HAD BEEN KICKED AND WAS STUCK HALF OPEN HENCE THE HALF VENT HALF DEFROST.
Good information
Thanks
Your welcome jack please subscribe I have lots of tahoe videos
Do you fix the problem I have the same problem in my 1997 Silverado truck
Behind the emergency brake there's a small fuse panel, upper right side of the fuse panel is a black box. Under it (chime) remove the box and the annoying beeeeeeep will turn off.
Thanks jey! Ironically the transmission just quit on the tahoe 186 000 miles. So I won't be driving it for a while. Please subscribe!
No! My wife did that and I’m constantly jumping the dead battery because she leaves the lights on. It’s annoying for a reason
It's not that annoying, better than your lights getting left on
Hell mine does the same but mine is also a unique problem because mine only blows from the vents when I turn my headlights on and if they are off, they will only blow at your feet 😂
Wow ha ha sounds like a wiring issue a previous owner may have had a mechanic move some wires too get the headlights working. And yes only blowing at your feet is a broken actuator door or actuator it self. Good luck. Please subscribe!
(DIAGNOSTICS ON IMPROPER CABIN AIR FLOW AND NO HEAT SYMPTOM ON MOST AUTOMOBILE'S BEFORE 2000.)
PROCEDURES
1. Verify cooling system full, no leaks, proper hose routing, pump condition pressure output and operation. Thermostat operation.
2. verify heater core operation, in clogged and proper coolant flow.
3. verify vacuum operation to any vacuum operated switches, actuators or door motors, plus vacuum reservoir and check valve.
4. Verify if blower motor operates and clogged and check cabin filter box for anything abnormal.
5. verify good voltage power, switched power, and good ground to all HVAC wiring, loads, connectors, and switch operation. Connectors pin location and every ground. Just takes one bulb to mess up the whole Christmas tree.
5. verify internal gear mechanical operation of individual door actuators and blend motors if vacuum and wiring is correct operative
6. Verify proper operation of main hvac control switchboard, check individual input and output wiring resistance and voltage with koer and koeo and verify with each load wire, signal wire, and ground wire have proper resistance and voltage drop when switches are activated. There's only three door motors to test usually never much more and this happens to be a dual HVAC system.
7. If you have made it to this far then pull the dash out, no remember I said no later than 2000. They don't have actuators reset procedures and actual HVAC modules that let stupid relays and modules interfere ND micromanage anything on it's wiring harness.
8. Dash is out inspect heater core housing box which is the air duct assembly and what not. Find the one of anywhere between 3 to 7 doors that is not performing as designed and fix what caused it to do that instead of just fixing the door lol if that ain't it only shit it could be is something stuck in actual dash vents good luck

Reminds me of the 03 I had to change out that same actuator because it was blowing hot on the passenger side man it was a pain but I got it done
Lol it's not an easy job. I decided not to do it and it's really expensive
Drew I’ll give you an A+ for effort man.
thanks daniel lol the video info isnt perfect but its helped alot of people. I was the first to post about this then alot of people did more detailed video on it. Its all about helping others -Cheers hope you subscribed!!
I fabbed up some rods for the linkage and made me a pull style knob with a cable attached to it. And done away with turn knob for the vent defrost and floor setting now it's manual but I still have the fan speed knob and heat and air selector on the climate control unit
Nice! Lol I never thought about making a pull knob. Thanks for sharing hope u subscribed!
Would love to see some pictures of that set up!
I just went through this with my 95 gmc k2500. I found THREE blend door actuators. Looking at the blower fan, look at upper left of the fan casing. I could not figure out how to replace that, due to lack of clearance with other plastic components, short of removing the entire blower box.
Thanks for watching jeff please subsc ribe for more chevy videos
Right, there are three actuators. On the driver side is the mode actuator (defrost, front vent, floor vent), to the left of the glove compartment (to center of truck) is the blend door actuator (hot to cold), behind blower is the recirculation door actuator. Only the one actuator is a blend door, that one mixes the air coming from the AC evaporator and air coming from heater core.
JavaMan on my 99 k2500 burb the one behind/under the blower motor on the pass side moves when I turn the ac on/off and it also turns when I adjust the vent control from floor to vent to defrost.
Mine keeps wanting too stick on defrost or vent but when I switch it that actuator moves , both in the vent selection and the a/c heat temp control. The same actuator moves for both knob functions
Its probably a stuck actuator door nit the actuator
@@javaman2883 Thank you. My recirculation door actuator is bad (lots of people wrongly call it a blend door). I can not figure out how to get it out. There appears to be not enough space for tools. Any ideas?? Any youtubes on "how to"? Thank you.
There are three actuators
Yes thank you
If you watch your video u will see there is in arm not hook up to the hvac to open or close the vent properly
thats why i mad ethe video so people could see the mechanism. my blend door itself was jammed, i never got it fixed because the whole dash had to be removed too expensive. thanks for watching please subscribe!
Also im finding out the hard way but..the actuator for the 97 chevy on the drivers side is NOT INTERCHANGEABLE with the 98 actuator. Just for those who might be looking to use parts from another vehicle
Thanks for the feedback to help others I didnt know this and thanks for watching
That's a bummer actually, I have a few from a 99 and I have a 97
@@triptheroad ya I had gone to the auto yard pulled a bunch of em too
Thanks for watching guys! Can you believe some 1997 Chevy tahoes are selling for $9,000 to $15,000. I bought my 2 door in 2001 for $17,900. Can't believe it's held it's value that long.. I did have to pay to redo the transmission because I missed a leak that destroyed the trans. Lol $2500 mistake. Please subscribe! I have a Tahoe playlist
Looks like they have been dropping in price recently. I sold my 97, 2 years ago for 5k. @@drewsquickfix
Thanks bro for the quick fix
Your welcome Rubens thanks for watching. Glad to help please subscribe and hit the bell for notifications when I post more videos.
Those metal linkages are the culprit. Not the electric module, but the actual mechanical side of this system. They get gummed up and sticky overtime and just need to be lubricated.
Yes that's true I think mine was the actual blend door cost way too much to have repaired so I just left it thanks for watching please subscribe
@drewsquickfix how did you access/fix the blend door that was kicked? My issue is the air won’t blow out of front panel but blows everywhere else.
I didn't.... Too expensive to fix. I just use the truck as a second vehicle now. You have to take out the whole dashboard. Crazy, maybe one day I'll pay to fix it since Tahoe's are now $90,000 lol
I kind of have the same problem, except sometimes it blows out of the front vents, just not that cold. But the middle and back are constantly on even if you turn the air off in all three locations
No No No Nooooo!
The Blend door motor is right above the accelerator pedal.
The Fresh Air / Recirculate motor is on the Passenger side at the firewall.
Blend door - Directs air to face, Floor or defrost.
Recirculate Motor - Selects either air to recirculate in the cab. OR…turned off allows fresh air from outside.
There is only 1 Blend door motor and its above the Accelerator pedal.
Well on my 1997 2 door it's under the dash in the center
Those linkage arms that you refer to around the 3:45 mark keep coming off for me causing my air/heat to only blow through the front dash vents and I lose defrost... which is a major problem when winter hits. Do you know how to access those linkage arms for replacement or how to get them to better stick if you've ever dealt with them coming off. Very hard to work by the gas peddles and the 4x4 stick shift on the floor prevents from laying on back and looking up from passenger side.
I never fixed mine... so frustrating lol. I only drove this truck part time I knew it would be expensive to fix. But I did a video on the cause. Mine was also a jammed vent door that was stuck. Thanks for watching please subscribe!
I had the same problem with air coming from defrost a d some from front vents the upper air flow flap has popped out of its spot and is just handing around not controlling and air flow on the front vents and defrost
- thanks for watching!! please subscribe and see my other videos!!
Do you need to worry about the position of actuator when you change it
Just a heads up I found out my actuator worked fine it was the blend door itself which is very expensive to fix apparently it's well over $1,000 to fix as I have to remove your whole dashboard and heating system I'm not sure about the position but you can always turn the knob and it will change the position of the actuator please subacribe!
If you look left there's a black box with some holes in it, I put tape on mine to quiet the aggravation a little
Awesome thanks for watching and commenting please subscribe . I have lots of tahoe videos
So there’s not an actuator in the passenger floor under the blower motor?
Mine has 3
99 burb
Yeah I think there's 3 of them temperature, defrost and blower speed i think. Im not a mechanic but some chevys may be different
Did GM put a cabin filter on 1997 model PU's and 4:12 Suburbans?
No cabin filters on gmc trucks or chevy
So did you ever find the problem on the vent and front blower
Yes it was the actual vent door which is under the dashboard which is stuck or broken it's very expensive to fix so I decided not to do it based on the age of the truck thanks for watching and commenting Please Subscribe I have a lot of videos on Chevy Tahoe
That lever doesnt work on mine so I have 2 questions 1. What is the lever called? And do I have to remove the entire box to fix it?
It's called the blend door actuator like the video title. It's not an easy task theres lots of springs. I reccomend you having a professional do it. I couldnt do the work myself it fell apart as I removed it. Thanks for watching make sure you subscribe and get notifications!!
Looked to me like the left actuator arm wasnt even connected to the door pin.
Yes that's a possibility! Thanks for watching please subscribe!
Where’s the door pin?
@@u-techgarage508Lol..good question..as i am still having a time with its correct identifier. 🤤 Blame the drugs i guess...but i mean the rod or flap's pivot point..that directs the air flow. Good grief, hang on..i'll go ask a second grader to help me with its actual name...
@@u-techgarage508 ☝️SPLINE !!! is that it ? Grrr...
@@u-techgarage508 I predict a Joe Biden reference very soon. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My problem is that it’s blowing cold air and it’s stuck on defrost. What blend door would it be ?
+Marteese Lever I don't know which one it is. I think there's 3 on a tahoe. My blend door was actually broken. So it wasn't the actuator, it was the door in the center. Someone kicked it. Please subscribe I have other great videos that may help. Good luck!
Would this work as well if theres no air comming through anything but the blower motor is still on?
I'm not sure fabulous. Sorry
Mine is stuck in defrost
Well I may as well replace it anyways, I replaced my blower motor and theres some air but not much
Did you resolve this? Was it the flappers inside the box? How did you fix it?
Hey Ben I decided not to fix it because the truck is old and the ac doesn't cool anyways. Defrost on heat keeps the car very warm. I believe it was the actuator door flap yes not the actuator itself.
Please subscribe i have a tahoe playlist!!
Dude, to stop the door alarm when running and door is open, theres a switchpin that sticks out drivers side dash, when door is opened pin pops out and alarm sounds, door shut, the door pushes pin back in and alarm goes off, with door open take a tooth pick, puah the switchpin in and jam the tooth pick in right in where switchpin is and the alarm will go off with the door open and if you have to have the door open with ignition on you wont be bothered by the alarm because now the switchpin is locked off, when done, you can easily pull the toothpick back away and unit will work as normal. I just leave it in cause the alarm is annoying as fck. LOL Happy Holidays 👊😉
Thanks for the advice Bob! Please subscribe lol no more door alarms ha ha
My 1999 gmc Yukon will not blow hard enough on the dash panel. it is blowing under the dash since I can hear the fan. I replaced the actuator by the gas pedal still has the problem.
Try looking at the defrost actuator door on the center floor. That's what my issue was.
My mechanic said he would have to take my dashboard out to fix it & will be $300 labor
Thank you for sharing bodie, that's actually not too bad. I'm guessing double that price at a dealer since they over charge.
What if it doesn’t blow at all? I changed the motor and the resistor
sounds like your situation blows lol. try checking the fuses! if you fixed it please update us here!!
@@drewsquickfix Got it fixed it turns out that the blower motor was bad, so I replaced it now my truck blows air now

Did u figure out what it was? Mines doing the same thing
Yes it was the blend door itself. The door flap got stuck. I never fixed it. Didn't want to remove the dashboard or pay to have it done. Not sure if dashboard has to be removed but it looked complicated. Good luck please subscribe! Lots of tahoe videos on my channel
Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I am having this same problem.
Mine was the blend door itself. It was stuck in the defrost position. Its in the center under the dashboard. Someone had kicked it .
My blend door broke inside because mine is stuck on defrost
Yup that's most likely the issue. It can get kicked or moved by accident sometimes
Thanks for watching please subscribe lots of tahoe videos!!
There is a 3rd one that is close to the firewall on the passenger side behind the blower motor.
Yes that's the one on mine that's making noise, but can't find info on what that particular one is called so I can replace
matthew browning same damn problem
That's the main blend door. That was my issue. Pain in the butt to get all screws loose, but got one from junkyard and fixed my issue
matthew browning if you got it out without removing the dash at least half way hats off to you man
hope u fixed the issue sorry this comment got lost in time.... thanks for watching!! please subscribe and see my other videos!!
Did you find out how to fix this. I have this exact problem.
It was the actual blend door not the actuator I never did get it fixed because it was pretty expensive
I got a 99 Chevy Tahoe & I had my control panel stop working, it won't kick the A/C Compressor on,even since removal of the Control Panel & a friend suggested replacement of a temperature switch I think it is, but regardless before I flush & fill the coolant after an overheating issue may have blown a seal,I put a sealant leak stop in & got it up to temp & it's no longer blowing white smoke out,indicating coolant in engine & oily residue in coolant reservoir & want to flush/fill but want heat working again,in cold north & to allow coolant to flow freely through the whole system for flush, to flow through heater core too, but that 1 screw behind the metal bracket on blend door is seemingly impossible to get to, no room to get your hand or a tool in..any ideas. Did you get that blend door on the blower motor out? & if so how in the heck did you do it. I swear the "Flat Head Engineers, are alumni of "ScrewU" ugh, such a pain in the neck!
Hey mc oil in your coolant usually a head gasket leak or blown head gasket. Also white smoke. It can be pretty expensive to fix usually about $600-$800. Eventually your engine can fail due to a head gasket leak. Check your coolant everyday you drive. Maybe talk to an auto parts store for advice. Good luck and Thanks for watching! Subscribe and hot the bell please!
@@drewsquickfix Yea,I know,it's terrible timing too,Tahoe full of furniture I wanna move from NY to FL & now,I don't put my faith in it making it that far,but if not,I wanna get it driveable enough to sell/trade here. The coolant/water ratio too may have gone out of balance despite flushing & filling it last year & well,what's done is done.,I was driving home & it was overheating on highway,so I got off my exit fortunately near home,limped it back w/brother to help & now I put in a sealant leak stop,the white smoke subsided & I just gotta flush fill the radiator next & cross my fingers it stops overheating at least enough to drive to nearest dealership or sell it as a mechanics special, but I'm wracking my brain on how to get the righ screw out of the blend door actuator stuck behind the metal bar/bracket inaccessible, even tried a bent hook type pair of needlnose & still not quite long enough,I've tried,elbow bend adapters on wratchet but no luck yet..any idea,how best to reach that screw? I'll likely go to harbor freight tomor in search of a bend/flex extension to try to reach it,idk wtf else to do? I want heat to work,if I sell/trade & want the coolant flush to flow through entire, system freely get a good cleaning into heater core too,I removed the thermostat as well..that 1 screw has me scrweed,lol

@@drewsquickfix @Drews Quick Fixes Ideas And Hacks yea, I gotcha,I know all that info I just need to get to these screws holding the blend doors on heater core box out,when they're totally inaccessible & no worries,I did thumbs up/subbed & if you don't mind, how about the same for my channel,please? thanks Soul4Sail Productions put / Soul4Sail1 in URL (are tags not allowed in your comments? idk, why I get an error msg) I post various stuff & making my own auto tutorials now of these mechanical issues,but I have various things including a new parody song up,I wanna go viral so help a fan/fellow youtuber out too,if you don't mind..care to share,like sub,plz do..thank you too ;~)
Alot of people miss the intake gaskets leaking , and it looks just like a head gasket leaking. All vortech engines will eventually do this. I've worked a tons of these. Far as the blend doors sticking. And I have all the specialist in tools to remove the actuators. Not really that hard to remove once you have done a few
did you ever get it fixed?
no I just let it go too expensive !! hope u fixed the issue sorry this comment got lost in time.... thanks for watching!! please subscribe and see my other videos!!
put in new actuator and blower heat controls still won't work just blows out defrost don't know if bad wiring or relay what ?
check the actuator door. its below the center console. thats what was wrong on mine. it was stuck on defrost. the actuator controls the actuator door. If the door is jammed open it wont change over. Its a black flap. you can push it with your hands if you remove the cover.
We changed it to front vent so we could use air conditioner don't know if a wires bad or what? Thanks though.
it stuck iy may need WD 40 or may have come off the hinges. Especially if you can force it by hand back to vent
Thanks is hard to move have to tare into it..
@@drewsquickfix o that's really great to know. I really didn't want to tear apart the dash just to see if the door fell inside. Do you know if it's pretty common for the actuator door to fall? I've scene it a few times, but only when people remove the whole HVAC box.
Question: there are 4 fan settings my 1 of my 4 (the medium high) doesnt blow when I turn to it. is it dial or the fan and is it 'fixable' or do i need to replace it? thank you!
@ hvens not sure about that one? seems so minor and ac repairs can be anywhere between $500 to $1200. SO I might just let it go if the fan still works. It could be the actuator for the fan. there are 3 actuators in a tahoe. Im not a mechanic ask around good luck to you!
Hvens Fury sounds like your blower motor resistor might be going out, easy fix. new part from auto store about $24.
The dial switch needs replaced.
@@bobhadden2606 more than likely resistor. They fail often
Mine does thay damn tumping when you change vents and blows hot as air on cold setting (AC off). I hope the temperature door flap didn't fall inside the damn box.
That sounds like its leak out all the refrigerent
@@drewsquickfix That's another issue in its own lol. Still trying to find where that damn leak is, pretty sure it's the sensor on the dryer, the o rings deform and mash on the shrader valve. I don't think my temperature door is closing though, I'm getting some pretty hot air, as if the heat is on. I may just bypass the heater core until winter roles around again.
THAANK YOU!!!
your welcome Vanessa, I hope it helped even though its not a perfect video lol
Hi there. Mine all works fine but i cant change where the air comes out of, and its stuck on feet. Is there a way to manually change it to defrost? I need my defroster but don’t have time to fix it fully right now.
That's probably you blend actuator door itself, or the blend door actuator. The little motor that changes the position loke in the video. Good luck. It's expensive sadly. I never did mine just bought a newer car. I still own the truck though.
Please subscribe. Thanks for watching
Its not expensive if you do it yourself. I watched a few you tube videos, took me literally 40 mins.
Lol I was the first to bring up the issue even though I dont show how it's fixed. That's the great thing about UA-cam people saw how popular my video was and did one on the actual repair. A great thing.
@@lightningsurvivor1432 Please explain how you did this please.
Excellent camera work ma'am.
Thanks lol I'm a sir ha ha did u mean man ha ha !
I realize it's been 4 years, but did you ever figure this out? I have 96 gmc i'm trying to figure this out on.
Yes it was the ac actuator door not the actuator itself. It got stuck and came loose keeping the truck on defrost only. Expensive to fix at a dealer so I didn't get it done. hope this helps. Please subscribe I have several tahoe videos thanks for watching!!
@@drewsquickfix I assume it broke off at the door then, I seen the loose rod behind the actuator.
You said the rod can get loose? Mine is blowing out of all three locations. If I turn it on defrost it still blows lightly out of the vents and the floor, but if i turn it on the other vents it will blow hard out of them and lightly out of the other two locations. I’m lost. I’ve changed that actuator out but it still does it.
@@justinfincher2385 that's probably your actuator door being stuck. Mine had the same symptoms.
Have a 95 Tahoe. It comes out of only defrost and slightly out of all other positions. Are you guys changing the AC actuator? Or the one under the steering wheel? Just trying to double check before I tear it down
Can’t fine part 2

my 97 silverado dose the same thing how did you fix it?
I never fixed it too expensive for a mechanic and time consuming for me to do but it was the defrost actuator door flap getting stuck might be actuator. The flap is on the center floor between driver and passenger. Pain in the but to reach without pulling apart dashboard.
Best of luck to you please subscribe I have lots of other tahoe videos where I do fix stuff.
Did u figure out the problem for your ac 97 silverado?
Mine was the actuator door not the actuator. It had come off the hinges it's just plastic. Thanks for watching please subscribe lots of Tahoe videos same as silverado
Literally omly takes 40 minutes to remove the entire black box from under the dash. Actuators are 25 to 40 a piece x3 of them. While you have the box out. Remove all screws open it up and clean it out. I went ahead and just replaced all parts. Cost me about 250, put it back together tested it and the air comes out hard, the doors move smoothly and theres no debri stuck in it.
Nobody can answer my question. Just need the blend door not actuator they have been replaced
hope u got it fixed sorry for delay. thanks for watching!! please subscribe and see my other videos!!
Mines doin same as yours blows on all vents
Yeah it can be the blend door itself is stuck. That was my issue. Please subscribe!
I have a problem with the HEATER air, I have cool air but no heat i turn the switch to red which is hot but I'm still getting cool.
+Nestor así me conocen. Mandujano Hernandez that's your heating/cooling actuator. There's several on most cars. It controls a door that opens the heat vent vs the cooling vent. It can be expensive to have fixed. Other than what's in.my video I can't tell you more good luck!
I have a 98 Tahoe and my heater works and blows great, but can't change it to ac, or change from floor vents to anything else, ac button and defrost don't work either... can't afford the 89$ to just have it checked out, let alone fixed, any ideas?
+Lesley Chapman that's most likely one of your actuators or an actuator door as I describe on the video. There's 3 on a Tahoe. Pretty expensive to have fixed. Not an easy fix either as I never got mine fixed. Good luck to you.
+Lesley Chapman those $89 a.c. checks are usually a scam stay away from them!!!
you may have a bad control head I replaced mine on 1996 Suburban and the AC started working but it was expensive at GM and still not sure mine was bad had a jackleg mechanic work on intake gasket and when we got it back it did not work we think he traded ours out for a buddy and stuck us with his bad part be careful there are crooks out there
Yes alot of mechanics are dishonest sadly
I tried to get my glove box out I pushed in the tab on the right and got the right side out but I couldn't find the tab on the left. I was also doing it at night in the dark with nothing but the dome lights/glove box light haha. it was caught up on the left side and I didn't wanna yank it and break it :(
Theres a little stopper cable on the left side lol
Yeah my 95 threw me through the same loop. There’s a little plastic wire keeper you need to press out on the left side. This is separate from the normal two stoppers most people have.

It's the control panel itself
Actually .it was the blend door itself
Oh wow mines was the control
I have a 99 Yukon
The door actuator that you replaced has two arms that control two doors I believe. You have the same one I have that isn't connected! I found that the other part it is supposed to be connected to was at an offset angle to the actuator when it should have been parallel. I was able to pull that part out a ways, rotate it and slide it back into the hole but then manually rotating it hasn't done anything for me to improve vent air flow.
Look at the far left center of the screen right at 3:43 ua-cam.com/video/s8pRHkHEhfk/v-deo.html
That arm connects further up under the dash than the first one.
I'm not sure if sliding that out, rotating it level and pushing it back in, actually put it back in control of a door inside the box or just has the rod in place missing the door....
Uploading video to youtube and will post shortly here:
Search UA-cam for: 99 Chevy Tahoe LT, low airflow, door actuator, broken arm

Thanks for commenting mine was the actuator door itself. I dont allow outside videos on my channel but thanks for the info. People can check your channel for the video :)
OK no problem :)
But did you get that second arm attached too? and was it detached for the same reason as mine?
Most likely your flap fell off your link arms .
Yes definitely! Thanks .for .watching .Please .subscibe

Ha ha yessir! Thanks for watching please subscribe and watch my playlists!
3 actuators
Yes
My actuator works, but when I turn the fan on, it automatically returns to the floor position. I turn the fan off, I can set the fan to whatever position I want, turn the fan on, right back to the floor. Any ideas?
+Davey Beebe there are several actuators I think 3 another one may be broken or the actuator door may be Jammed
Drews Quick Fixes Ideas And Hacks do you know what the third actuator controls?
Also, do you know the best way to get to the flap to fix it?
+Davey Beebe one is temperature, one is defrost I think and another is floor maybe. I am not an expert you may need to consult one ac repair is expensive. Good luck to you!
+Davey Beebe please consult a professional. I just posted a video about what was wrong with mine. I'm not a mechanic thanks
Someone broke the blend flap for the top . If you look the arm is broken off for the flap going to the top flap . The blend lever on the firewall is unhooked. Someone took an object and broke the flap through the dash
Yes that's exactly what happened a passenger kicked the blend door and it got stuck
The 96 has 3. Should be the same
Yes exactly... Sadly I recently lost my baby... transmission had a leak and I drove it with no fluid. not worth $3000 in repairs right now but im going to keep it stored for a while
How many does the 95 have?
Did u ever figure it out, I'm having the same problem
+gonenutz5150 it was the actuator door, not the actuator. The flap was broken

You didn’t tell/show how to do anything.
I would just find a repairman then and spend the $1,000 this is the first video I posted years ago and it's gone viral sense
First of all if you are going to do a video make sure you know what your doing. The one on the lower dash driver side is called a mode door actuator. The one on top by ac evaporator is blend door actuator and o. That model it only does hot and cold not side specific.
I always love it when people are know-it-all and say 1st of all I made the video to help people take it or leave it or do your own video Thanks for watching
@@drewsquickfix first off I'm an ase certified technican so i do know what I'm talking about second your not helping anyone out if you can't identify the correct part and what they are called. It just makes you look ignorant. That's why you replaced a perfectly good part and didn't fix your problem because you rely on other people to tell you what is going on via internet instead of diagnoding the problem your throw parts at it.
You seem to love saying first lol that always leads to being last in life accomplishing goals.. those who criticize others creativity spend time being critics vs accomplishing their own goals!!!!
Why bother watching my video if you already know... you must be searching for something so no one knows everything my friend i was the first to post a video about this issue and possible solutions . UA-cam is public and anyone can post a video. Againif you don't like it go to another channel. I am one of the first videos on this issue 5 years ago. Good luck to you .... please spend some time fixing your own issues vs criticizing someone trying to help others. My channel makes more than your monthly im sure!!!
@@jeffmead463 Jeff, on my 1996 Suburban the Recirculation Door actuator is bad. I removed the blower and looked up there and can just barely see it and one of the three screws. How the heck do I get that thing out of there??
Jeff Mead........I can relate to your input. I am retired after owning a residential/ commercial plumbing company for over forty three years. Until I closed the doors I was 100% hands on in that I never asked anyone to perform a task that I had not already performed myself untold number of times. I have been in home improvement stores and heard a store employee describing how to use, fix, repair etc something with their home plumbing fixtures or system. I never offer that I have even heard them, much less contradict what the customer has been told. As I am sure you know in your profession, as is in plumbing, there are "plumbers" that are parts changers. (replace enough parts and they might eventually fix the problem). Paying dues and learn troubleshooting to the point you can repair things in your head before ever arriving on the job. As things have changed over the past three decades or so with blue collar professions losing the number of young people that truly want to learn and excel in a trade, the future does not look so peachy for the customer. Take Care, 👌 🇺🇲
"This is a fix"????? Am I missing something? How about "this is what I'm running into and so far I don't yet have a fix"..but I will title my video so I get lots of hits. It is appreciated that you do a video. It is not appreciated that your description is deceptive. It could read "this is NOT a fix for.........yada yada yada...."
I was the first one to post about this issue on UA-cam several years ago I'm sorry you didnt find it helpful I'm not a mechanic. Just a person. May I suggest you hire a mechanic to fix your ac for over $1000 vs complaining about my video. Thanks
Already did. May I suggest you tell the complete truth in your description and title. You certainly don't have to be a mechanic to know you lied in your description. Apparently it's worth it to you to be a liar. (I hear people may receive you tube $ depending on the number of views.) In that case..and if you prefer $ over truth....leave your description as is. To some people who have a slow connection,..you are stealing their time...while they wait for a "fix" that does not occur.
Well this is a fix to the issue, I just didnt do the labor in the video I showed what the issue was there are several other videos that popped up after mine that show in detail how to repair the problem I was the first to show what caused it. I understand your frustration with slow internet and appreciate the feedback. Still this video has helped 1,000s of people. I know people who show up at ac repair places diagnosis alone Is $200. This diagnoses the issue and saves those people money. Again I'm sorry it didnt meet your standards with wording. I hope you got your issue fixed and everything is running okay now.

You can tell this guy has no idea wtf he’s talking about 😳
I'm sure your an expert Kenny! Just pay a mechanic $4,000 vs trolling people trying to help others. I was the first to post a video on this issue and it helped 1000s of people!
