How to remove the servo from a tundra?
This servo can be accessed without removing very many plastic panels, and one screw to remove passenger side footwell ductwork, 10 minutes to get to and remove. Much to my surprise the shaft is a soft plastic, why put the weakest link there? To avoid damaging a $120 servo motor held on by 3 screws?
Where is the HVAC system on a tundra?
The HVAC system is comprised of a “heater housing” under the dash in front of the center console. This box contains heater core, 4-5 servo motors for various blend doors depending on trim level, and AC evaporator with a wing leading over to the blower motor and AC amplifier above the passenger footwell.
How do you remove the motor from a Toyota Tundra?
To get the motor assembly off, you have to take off several trim panels (including removing the entire center console). Also, you have to remove the small steel frame directly under the steering column. And you have to remove the foot well air duct. This was all realatively simple.

What causes a Toyota Tundra to lose control?
Premature Front Lower Ball Joint Wear: The front lower ball joint in some Tundra models is covered in lubricant that deteriorates fast, leading to premature ball joint wear. Symptoms start with hard steering. If the problem is not addressed in a timely manner, it may lead to loss of vehicle control due to the ball joint falling out of the knuckle.
