FIX Impala Loud Tapping Noise in Dash! How to Replace HVAC Vent Blend Door Actuator ALL 3 LOCATIONS!

Рет қаралды 224,702

2 жыл бұрын

How to fix a loud tapping / clicking / ticking noise / sound in a 2005 - 2013 Impala dash / dashboard. The issue is a faulty blend door actuator. In this video I show all 3 locations, how to replace it, and I open one up to show how it works. I also show a workaround to fix it without purchasing a replacement actuator. 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
ACDelco GM Original Equipment Actuator:
amzn.to/35A4vgj
"Amazon's Choice" Actuator (Lower cost, good reviews, but not GM part):
[There are MANY aftermarket brands. This is just one example]
amzn.to/3s36yRl
If needed, this is the distribution actuator (floor, face, defrost) pointed out at 1:10 in the video, but not covered. The dash has to be disassembled to some degree to access it.

You’re a hero dude. When I asked the shop about this they said the dash would have to come out. Much easier than I was anticipating.

If you're unfortunate enough to have your driver's side temp control actuator go bad, I recommend finding a small child to reach in and disconnect the wire harness to stop the clicking and then promptly trade in or sell the vehicle to someone you don't like. Should you decide to go through with the repair, prepare to have your left arm look like an 18th century French-Canadian fur trapper that stumbled upon a den of sleeping wolverines. Pro Tip: When installing the new actuator 90 minutes after starting the project, be sure to reconnect the wire harness first, as the connector can actually become captured behind the newly installed actuator and cause your moment of triumph to become one of despair as you realize you're back at the point you were two hours ago: needing to remove the mounting screws. I also recommend taking a moment to smash the old actuator with a hammer as you imagine it's the face of whoever decided to use plastic gears instead of metal on this part. It will help release your rage and prepare you for installation of the new part.

LOL! This is dead on... My left hand all the way to the elbow is torn up... Death by 1000 cuts 😅. And that connector did get trapped behind the actuator but lucking I hadn't put on the screws yet!

@MrBikedrummer Жыл бұрын

Garbage design with those plastic gears. Many auto manufacturers use these and they are guaranteed to fail. I know the GMs are programmed to actuate these blend door modules every time you open and close the door to regulate air pressure in the cabin. That's to reduce the risk of damaging your ears when a door is slammed shut. That's a lot of wear on the 5 cent crap gears.

Fortunately I found this video before I got the call letting me know what the problem was. The 2014 Impala Limited is even easier, as the passenger side blend door activator is held in place with only 2 screws, Both easily accessible without the glovebox in place. Thanks again!

Simply put your fingers on the 2 actuators and you can feel or see which one is the trouble maker. If neither on the right are the offender, you know it is the one under steering column.

Just finished the install of the driver's side actuator and the inner passenger side actuator. Driver's side sucked to do! I'm thankful for this video! Tips for anyone needing to replace the driver's side.... 1. Also remove the plastic trim plate above the gas and brake petals. It makes this WAY easier. 2. Get a LONG 1/4" rachet extension and universal joint. 12"-14" in length with a 5.5mm socket. I couldn't imagine doing it any differently. 3. A forked ended trim removal tool was really handy for taking loose a couple wire harness holders to gain better access. 3. Have jumper wires handy to help align new actuator hole with the old one. I also had luck by hooking up the power before installing screws and turning the heat and down while holding new part over the existing actuator. It eventually fell into place. 5. Don't get the cheapest part, as you do NOT want to have to do this again. I used Dorman brand $20 on Amazon or Rock Auto. Final thoughts: If i was better prepared with the right tools, it would have been much easier. It really sucked with the tools I had. Glad it's done. If it acts up again, I'm selling the damn thing. 😂

2010 chevy impala, driver side vents not blowing cold like the passenger side until its circulated thru for a few mins. Replaced driver side actuator hoping to fix the issue. Still having the same issue. Any ideas? Any help is most appreciated!
