A lot off unnecessary clips out there all saying the same thing, but showing nothing, but YOU bro nailed it, thank you very much, keep up with the great videos

I have a 2005 Honda Accord. I removed the two crews from the bottom that go directly into the plastic body. I also removed the bottom right screw that passes first through the bracket and then the other similar screw that is to the left. With that, I was able to rotate the bracket to clockwise and remove the actuator. By doing this, I didn't have to take out the top screw, which is the most difficult to remove. The installation is done i reverse order. Hope that helps. One comment about the video: I believe it's very helpful, especially because of the limited space. Great job, and my best regards and thanks to the author.

Replaced the actuator on my 2006 Honda Accord EX. The top screw is really tough to get out an put in but you can manage to get a screwdriver in the right position by going at it from the top with a slight angle. The new actuator works well. I did purchase an OEM pert off of Amazon.

Exact same ac things right cold right driver side vent lukewarm and left hot. Checked the low pressure ac, it was cold and was so def didn’t need any freon. TYSM for video.

Honda calls the actuator a "Motor Assy., Temperature Driver." or "Motor Assembly, Mode." the Honda part number is the same for both. 79160-SDA-A01 (double check with your VIN. Dunno if dual zone HVAC and single zone HVAC use the same part) thanks OP!

Thanks for the tip. My Accord has exactly the same problem. Another vlog suggested that the A/C unit lacked freon. Others say its the actuator like in your video. I'll definitely try this diagnostic first. 👍

Great camera work-i could see everything perfectly!!

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I hope it was helpful to others as it was to me.

Unplug the blend-door, these all have little computer's. I have a 1998 Honda Accord, vents only, started the car put on defrost went down under dash driver side unplugged the little blend-door and it reset, and now it's working. Winter time yes we need defrost. Great Video.

Thank you so much for showing me what the actual problem was. All that was wrong in my case was the little lever was detached from the motor, knob works again now

Its a pain to get the top screw out of the actuator, but if you remove the two 12mm bolts that hold a metal support to the firewall that is in the way of the actuator top screw, it makes it easier to remove the actuator, just a suggestion.

Thanks for your video! I watched your video and ordered the Honda OEM part that comes with the metal bracket, replaced it and fixed my problem with Cold vent on the passenger side and Hot vent on the driver side. Now my HVAC is working perfect evenly on both sides. Like everyone had experienced, the TOP SCREW is most difficult to get out. You'll a UNIVERSAL PIVOT screwdriver. Very satisfied with the work done by ME 🙂

Hi after removing the valve, you can see inside as if the valve is not fully closing. could this be the reason for the heating failure? passenger side is ok. driver side is blowing cold. Thanks

Thank you for this video!!! I have a 2007 Accord EXL and had hot air coming out of driver side vents, cold air coming out of passenger side. Heard clicking/fluttering noises from the dashboard. Took it to the dealer who wanted to replace supply lines and possibly compressor for over $1,000. I declined to investigate more. Found this video after googling about the problem and people mentioning the blend door actuator. The noises were coming from the actuator. After watching this video I was able to remove the actuator (I had to also remove a metal bracket that was preventing me from removing the top screw on the actuator). I found another video to open up the actuator and attempt to clean it out - going to try that first before ordering a new one. Thanks again!!!

My accord have the same problem, thanks for your video.

Super-clear. Many thanks!

Fixed my 2007 Honda Accord thanks for the video

Awesome!!! I've been trying to figure out what this damn noise is! FInally I can repair it! haha

If that white flap doesn’t go down while the black peice does as well then it’s stuck in the heat passage valve?

My compressor kicks on and my ac is charged with Freon but my air still blows warm for some reason. Could it be this one door actuator for the whole car? I have a coupe 05’.

That’s nice 7th gen Accord Has Factory Honda Navigation and fog lights.

hours ....hours ...I've been looking for this ...easier when you learn it's called a 'blend door' by Honda

Exactly what I needed, thanks!

Thank you for the great video

Thank you for the info very good video

Hi. In a car with dual zone AC, is there a blend door actuator for each passenger and driver side or only one?

I think mine just took a shit, my wife was recently driving my car cause her registration is out and she had been changing the temperature in morning. Now I have to change this part. I'm sure its the same problem like on this vid.

What else could it be? Relay is fine, this part is fine also. The compressor is working, a bit colder air from the passenger deflector (near the window) but the driver side blows hot af, no matter how cold I set it up.

but its ok to blow warm to the feet ? use arrow down and its warm, if use down and middle got warm down and cold middle, down and windscreen got warm down and cold up, cold into middle and windscreen at 22⁰ C, only if the if go up ⁰ C start to blew warm middle and windscreen, got fresh regas, compressor and fan ticking, got leaking water underneath ... cheers (it happend while driving and parked) its about accord 2.2 idtec

Question. Should I install it at a specific temp in the car or does it not matter?

Muchísimas gracias amigo

Thanks for this video. i have a question, i checked all blend door actuators on both sides driver and passengers, and both are working ( i mean the white parts are moving with changing temp of the A/C) so i assume that door actuator parts are fine, am i right? Honda dealer wants me to pay like 600 dollars if he is going to start his check-up. i re-filled the AC gas freon, but till the right side is cold, moving to left side the cold air become hot. so i am really confused. any advice pleassssssse

My driver side console vent doesn’t switch blow out the bottom Acura TL 11

And everyone it is completely different for thw Coupes.

Thanks! This video helps a lot!

Great video great information right to the point.

Good video, thank you. But how do you know if it has enough freon and that it is fully charged?

What about if the black piece @3:13 happens to break off? Can that be repaired? 🙏🙏🙏

Good vid was helpful, had to change mine.

you are a life saver!

Hello, what does it mean when my recirculation button stops working?(button all the way to the left of the ac control panel) and all the other buttons work ? Please help with a solution

@AJ Imports is this the actuator that controls that controls the distribution of cold air..? My car the driver side blows hot while the other side blows cold.

So my ac is not blowing that cold and my driver side vents blow warm and my passenger blows cold help!!

great vid thanks for the help!

Hey my left and right ac vents towards the passenger side works but my middle vents do not blow any air. I changed all the positions of the vets, nothing changed. Do you think it is the aculator or something Else. Thanks.

I've been hearing some wierd noises when turning on the air. It works fine, cold air, heater no problem. It also makes noise when it's off. I took a look and found that this exact part is making the noise. I see it "clicking". I was wondering if there's no problem functionally, do I need to replace it?

Is this a common problem? It's the only car I've had this problem in.

Nice Vid!

So mine has the black clip that u mentioned that changes the hot and cold broken what can do to fix it that piece fell behind that dash

What year is this for. I have a 2014 and having the issue blowimg warm out of drivers and cold out of passengers. Doesnt do it all the time though.

Im working on a 98 honda accord dx and the blower doesnt change modes. I was able to change it from the floor vents to the vents oisnted at your gace but it wont go back to floor/defrost mode. Will this part fix that as well? I dont have an issue with ac or heat, just the modes wont switch positions. Thanks in advance.

My brothers 03 accord has a 3 prong actuator, was there a revision mid year or something?

Hello! My 2012 Accord SE just started blowing regular air, no a/c, but only if the driver's side door is closed. I can only get it to blow a/c if I have the driver's door open. Do you think that this could be the problem?

How do I knew this is the problem? My Ac/off and on. I was thinking this probobly cause the problem. I could be wrong it could be the buttons in the dashboard too.

Thank you keep up the good work

thanks for the info! but im having a specific problem with my 05 accord. The blend door works, but the MODE door does not, and I can't find a video on a MODE DOOR for any vehicle so far! any help would be greatly appreciated

I've checked everything for my ac and so far nothing seems wrong. This is the first time i heard about the actuator blend door. Also my dash board was making ticking noise prior to going out. Hopefully this will fix it

I think I have this problem but on the passenger side blows warm hot air

My car vents makes a farting noise when changing from hot to cold... heat works when it wants to , is this the fix for that ?

is their a fuse because mine is not moving even with a new one installed

I have 03 accord that only blows through the side vents and the defroster do both need replaced

Hi good video by the way I had a question I have a 2009 ex v6 Honda Accord with the navigation I replaced the Blend door actuator on the driver side because for a while now The vent closest to the driver side door blows cool air but after replacing the actuator now both vents on the driver side blow really cold air at high speeds instead of heat when the temperature is set to high and also it gets warm and cold at the same time i’ve tried two different actuators but neither of them seem to be fixing the problem passenger side is fine do you happen to know what it could be? Sorry For the long question by the way

Thank you!

So if my heat isn’t working on the driver side, this should fix the problem?

I will be trying this asap

Mine has a triangular white part

Will this part if it's bad not make the ac clutch kick on I checked fuses and relays ac still not kicking on

Thank you! I can now add this project to the list of things I have done by myself thanks to your video :)

Is there a way to clean the gates first and test them before replacing them?

Does this apply if the problem is with passenger side blowing cold air when I have the heat on?

if the actuator is going bad, does it affect the fan speed because when it acts up the fan speed on 3 feels like 2

Thank you for this video. I used it to install the new part in my 2004 Acura TSX. I have a slight problem, the peg for the black door does not fit all the way into that slit. After installation everything was working fine until I began to move around my temperature bc the peg slipped out. I bought the part from AutoZone. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks

I have an acura tsx 2005 and experiencing the same issue. My passenger side feels colder but the driver side is hot. Could it be this or the freon is low? Any video no how to check for low freon?

I have same car as you and my air-conditioning unit was working windows were fogging up so I pressed on the defrosting button and wasn't really removing fog from windows. After a while a put on the air-conditioning unit and it was jut blowing out warm air could this be the same issue you have or something else.

Hey I have a issue that’s somewhat similar. My a/c and heat blows out strong it’s just where the air blows out above the radio, it doesn’t blow strong like everywhere else it only seeps out. How can I go about the situation? Do I need a new actuator also? Thank you.

How did you manage to get the top mounting screw back in? I can’t even begin to get it lined up in that tight space.

Do recommend recharging the a/c after changing the blend door actuator?

Very good video thanks

How many blend doors does a 05 honda accord ex-l 6cyl have?

Is there an actuator also on the passenger side or only on the driver's side?

Would this be the same part to swap out if my front vents are working fine but my windshield vent (defroster) is not working / can't be turned on ?

My 2006 Honda Accord has hot air coming from the passenger side two vents while the drivers side has cold air blowing when the AC is on.

My 2004 Honda Accord v6 stopped blowing Hot air and AC completely. I changed blower motor nd resistor. Coolant is good and fuses are good. Could the blend door be the problem?

Question: If the actuator is bad, wouldn't that also affect the air flow from the drivers heater vents as well?

Thanks for taking the time to share. My question is how many air actuators do 2007 usually have in total? It seems like my all my vents are out. It was only the one in the middle initially now it seems like it's all 3 (driver side, middle vents and passenger side). Also, how hard is it to change the actuator for the middle vents? Thanks once again!

Is this the same for the 2010 Honda Pilot ?

Hi I just wanted to ask will I have to do this same process if my air conditioner is doing it in the opposite side? My driver side is cold and passenger is hot. Thanks in advance

I have the opposite, driver side heater blows hot but passanger side is cold. AC works both sides.

What year Honda are you doing ???

Can I do this myself? Will the airbag go off? Should I unplug the battery

My Honda Accord 2006, it has a dual zone climate control, when i turn on my aircon the passenger side temp can be adjusted accordingly but on the driver side it always blows the cold air even when the temperature is set to high. Is this because of blend door actuator not working??? Please advice Thanks

I lowered the temperature to see if it would move but it didn't. Then I removed the part and it didn't cool the air. Any suggestions on what I should do or check next? Thank you.

Does it make a difference if my Honda is an automatic?

But can I wedge it up or down to allow hot air or cold air to come through so I don’t have to buy a new part? That is the question 🤔

i have a honda accord . it blows cold air from the small vents on each side but no air coming out from the front vents. any ideas please?

Please help!! My a/c and heater are working but unfortunately it’s not throwing air for the windshield front or rear and for the feet as well. It keeps throwing air only to the front of the driver and passenger.

Will it work for a 2007 Honda Pilot?

i have a 2018 accord , when i move the temperature from 72 to low the ac temperature remains the same. if i go up to 80 + than it changes to warm air. on a cold day it blows hot air from 85 to 58. until i hit low then it changes. i'm thinking its the actuator. any comment please.

Will this fix the direction of air? Like to face, defrost or feet?
