What does the recirculation actuator do?
Recirculation Door Actuators: The recirculation door actuator controls the intake of air into the system, either bringing outside air in or using inside air in recirculation. The symptoms of a bad blend door actuator include a lack of heat or air conditioning, or failure of air to blow through some or all of the vents.
Where is the recirculation air door actuator located?
The recirculation door actuator (1) is a reversible, 12 volt direct current (DC) servo motor, which is connected directly to the pivot shaft lever of the recirculation-air door. The recirculation door actuator is located on the right side of the HVAC air inlet housing.
Can a 2009-2014 door actuator be replaced?
On the plus side, where older generations required disassembling the dash to fix, the 2009-2014 generation’s most common problem can be fixed with the dash left in place. Truthfully, the work isn’t really that bad.
How much does it cost to replace HVAC actuator?
Truthfully, the work isn’t really that bad. The replacement actuator, available here online or at a local Autozone, costs between $20 and $35. You’ll know you need to perform this procedure if you hear a loud, persistent POP noise whenever you switch your HVAC to “full cold”.
How does the a / C heater door actuator work?
The A/C-heater control learns the recirculation-air door stop positions during the calibration procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problems it detects in the recirculation door actuator circuits. The recirculation door actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and it must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
How is the recirculation door actuator connected to the a / C heater?
The recirculation door actuator is interchangeable with the actuators for the blend and mode-air doors. The recirculation door actuator is connected to the A/C-heater control through the vehicle electrical system by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Truthfully, the work isn’t really that bad. The replacement actuator, available here online or at a local Autozone, costs between $20 and $35. You’ll know you need to perform this procedure if you hear a loud, persistent POP noise whenever you switch your HVAC to “full cold”.
Where is the HVAC air door actuator located?
The recirculation door actuator is sitting a bit higher to the right, the mode door actuator is accessible from the driver side and the passenger side temperature actuator (my favourite) is on top of the heater box and a real pleasure to replace
