Best of luck and thanks for watching.

Did it last weekend and it's working great! Next job is new lamps in the instrument cluster.

You are welcome, and Thanks for watching.

@@AxlesGarage how can I set the door to AC until my new actuator comes in?

Glad I could Help, Thanks for Watching.

Glad we could help, Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much for the kind words, and just to be fair, I read your comment with a southern accent.

Good luck, Thanks for watching.

Did it?

Thanks for watching.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for watching.

Your welcome sir. Cheers!

Glad you liked it!

Well said!

Many many thanks

You bet!

Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.

As for the hot/cold air, there is a blend door for the rear and 1 or 2 of them for the front. Unplugged wires under the dash is not always a problem. Sometimes the harness will have the wiring for all options but the truck may not have some of those options, therefore there will be wires with no where to go.

Glad it was helpful!

Should be separate front and rear heater cores, but all part of same system, so if your coolant is leaking out of the front, thats the same coolant you will be low on going to the rear.

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks for watching.

I'm have to do mine. When I have my AC turned on it's not blowing cold air. Is that the problem you had?

Yes

If I remember right, yes there is. Thanks for Watching.

If you think you can open it up without damage, go for it.

Glad to help. Thanks for watching.

Unplug the diverter electronics and move the shaft manually so it's either cold or hot depending on what you want.

Yes they should be the same

@@AxlesGarage they worked thanks man!

Yes, probably a bad control module or thermal sensor (HVAC Controls). In a easy pinch you could set it to heat manually at the actuator and unplug the electrical connector. It will stay on heat.

Yes, barn doors also

@@AxlesGarage, It’s actually only for the lift gate. It’s a different actuator for the barn doors. Thanks anyway.

Maybe, take the panel off and see if the rear evap is cold and if so check blend door operation.

Yes, could be. There are 2 actuators. One for hot/cold and one for upper vents and lower vents. Thanks for watching.

@@AxlesGarage if I get two of the same actuators to replace the two in the back of my car will the same parts work for the ac and heat and the top and lower vents or are those two completely different actuators parts that I need ?

Did you ever find the right actuators ? I have the same exact vehicle, and want to replace both. There are so many on line, it's hard to tell which ones I need.

Here is a link to the one that fits my 2003. amzn.to/2XyqMGj Just be aware that options and such are needed to determine the correct part. Thanks for watching.

Control harness or BCM. Most probably you have a wiring problem

I'm sure they have a blend door somewhere.

Out of time, or bad circuit

The other is the exact same. Thanks for watching.

Axle's Garage Exact same? But where is it located?

Just forward of the one in the video, in the same vicinity. Those are for the rear. Fronts are under the dash.

There are a ton of different ones, go to rock auto and look it up there.

@@AxlesGarage Will do, and your video was great by the way. Thank you for responding

Leave harness disconnected, and manually rotate knob to were you need it.

2011 should be in a side panel after the rear blower unit. This is the part: amzn.to/3d60GhG

Yeah I wish. No such thing as a Pick-a-Part on Long Island. Thanks for watching.

Yes the old one was.

@@AxlesGarage great!!!! That's probably what is wrong with mine!

That's a good bet for sure.

Mine started making that noise a week ago. Thankfully I came across this video

Nope, they worked, but I did put them in in the position of the switch. So maybe in a way, you can say that I 'clocked' it.

@@AxlesGarage Wondered the same...then common sense kicked in...der der durrf... remember which way is door diverting before ya take out old one.

2 in back and 2 in front... maybe. 1st Rear is hot/cold, 2nd Rear is air flow upper vents or lower vents. In the front there may be 2 hot/colds if you have 2-zone heat (passenger & driver separate) then possible another to act as the diverter control

⁠@@AxlesGaragewhat’s the part number for the 1st rear hot and cold?

Yes, if you have separate rear heat and a/c, there is a blower for the rear behind the interior panel in the cargo area passenger side.

@@AxlesGarage thank you, I did fix the heat for the front 6 days ago, did a heater core back flush even after being told it was paid to have done twice by the last owner, did it myself and a massive heat change, all I need for the moment to have the family more than comfortable. And just the day before I put my comment I replaced the blower motor for the front and noticed no heat on high so is why I did the flush, maybe down the road I'll dig into the rear system, I just got the vehicle and am tight on money, also have an 04 sierra crew cab as a parts truck for my 04 sierra extended cab and used a few parts for the yukon xl

At least you have the front heat to take the edge off. Best of luck.

In the back there are 2. 1 for hot/cold and 1 for air up top (A/C) or air on bottom vents (for heat)

Thanks for watching

Could be your front blend door.

Odd, Maybe the actuator was wired wrong for the factory

At least your heat fix will cost zero

There may be a problem with the circuit

Glad you enjoyed it

Similar install, different location.

Thanks for the tips

Yes, that's an option. Unplug the motor and take the motor off. Use a pair of pliers to turn the door shaft to the position you want it. Then stick a pair off needle nose pliers in shaft-spot on motor, turn that until it lines up with the shaft in its new position so you can mount it back up. Then mount the motor back up, but don't plug in the electrical connection. This will keep it there so the door won't accidentally move when you hit a bump.

Go to the junk yard

Both of the AC actuators have stopped working on my wife’s 2005 Escalade. In Texas we don’t need the heat as much as the AC. So until I can order the new actuators, we removed the actuators and figured out that the Rear blend door needs to be turned all the way right for the cold air, and the Forward blend door needs to be turned all the way right to direct air flow to the roof vents. Then we opened the actuator housings using a small flat tip screwdriver, and temporarily removed one of the gears, placed the actuators back on the rear AC housing and adjusted the blend door shafts to the full right position, install the gear, and the install the covering to the actuator (to hold all the gears in place). Then install the 3 screws that holds the actuator in place. Check that the cold air blows, and then put all the plastic pieces back together. **This “fix” only allows the cold air part of the system to function, assuming the rest of the system is functional.**

Thanks lol

Glad to help

Thank you

Auto Climate or regular?

@@AxlesGarage I didn't know there was two? I just know the main one up front went out and just blows hot air. The back one works fine

What I meant was does your vehicle have manual or automatic climate control? but never mind it's still the same part number for the front blend door. Should be this one, pricey but if it's not correct, Amazon has hassle free returns. This should be it to the best I can find. amzn.to/3cR02o2

@@AxlesGarage oh ok sorry man. Thank you for the help

@@AxlesGarage so I changed it out and it's still blowing some heat. A few days ago it was cooler then my compressor went out

Thanks for watching

Usually are, or very similar. Check for the proper part listing.

No just put it in the the correct position and check function.

A lot of people beat me up in the comments over those words, but it's funny because it's true. Thanks for watching.

@@AxlesGarage Lol, they must not be married.

Hahaha, yep!

Yeah, I guess. I just don't agree as my suburban and GMC have exactly the same options/package.

@@AxlesGarage it's still two different brands/companies! Also think about things like resale value because these vehicles are so reliable if you just take care of them, remember these 00-06 models brand new we're $50k+ vehicles!!! So I believe I think anything over 50k is considered luxury item!!!

@@AxlesGarage look at the new 2021 yukon now, it's selling like crazy, I think its doing better than the new Cadillac!

Thanks for watching.

There are a ton of different ones, best choice would be to get from GM dealer with VIN or go through all the ones listed in Rock Auto.

Didn't calibrate, just put it in in the same rotation as the one we removed. Thanks for watching.

LOL thanks

Did you ever get it fixed

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Good find!!
