A-Premium HVAC Blend Door Actuator - Compatible with Chevy, GMC, Cadillac & Hummer Models - 2003-2014 Escalade Avalanche Silverado 1500 2500 Suburban Tahoe Sierra Yukon H2

This part is a direct replacement for the factory mode door actuator. It was fairly simple to replace. Once you’ve removed the trim ring around the gauge cluster and the lower panel below the steering wheel, the next thing to remove is the air duct which is secured below the steering column with a single plastic trim fastener that is easily removed with a trim clip tool then slide the air duct out to the left. Now you have fairly good access to the mode door actuator. Once you remove the 2 screws with a 5.5mm or 7/32 socket, what I found to be easiest is to separate the motor from the cam plate first then take the cam plate out. Some people say to leave the factory cam plate in place and just remove the motor but this new cam plate only works with the motor that was supplied with it. Now reassemble in reverse order. Get the cam plate installed and make sure that it is sitting flush against air box and moving the gear properly by rotating it by hand before you put the motor on. Then install the 2 screws and don’t forget the wire harness is attached with the upper screw. Before putting the air duct back in, test the system to make sure it’s working properly. If not, you either didn’t install the plate correctly or there is another cause of the problem probably with the controller. Once functionality is confirmed, put the air duct and panels back on and you’re done! This took me about 30 minutes to install after watching about 10 different YouTube videos. I think the hardest part is getting the screws in and out but if you have the right tools it wasn’t too bad. I used a 1/4” ratchet with a shallow 7/32 socket and a deep 7/32 socket with a 1” extension with both and it was a breeze.

It is a difficult item to replace, but this fit exactly as needed.

After 2 years of trying to figure out why my ac kept making a weird sound I FINALLY found a video that pointed out that there is a 3rd actuator in the dash. This one is the "Mode door actuator", I controls the upper and lower air flow.Apparently my actuator had went out and would never power off.I decided to order this part and give it a try to install. It wasn't a terrible install but will require some patience.Use a 7mm to remove dash panel and you need a 5.5mm socket and 1/4inch ratchet unscrew the only two screws holding the actuator in place.I pulled out the old part. When inserting the new part it will be necessary to put the white door cog wheel onto the actuator track, a screwdriver works best.I was able to swap the part and test it within 3hrs. Honestly this should be an 1hr job but due to issues with getting the second bolt off and having to run to Walmart.Once installed the part is working and no more sounds from the dash.I just wanted to share some extra details in case it helps.This part saved me about $120 on a bad diagnosis. Save me $40 on other similar parts that just don't need the invest in such an old truck. Items quality appears to match the oem part.

Functions just like it should. Great value for my money. Replacement wasn’t to bad.

Seems like it doesn’t want to change function. I’ve re installed to make sure it wasn’t an alignment issue, but it still does the same thing, doesn’t last long.

The unit was a perfect fit to replace the oem blend door that was stuck making the dreaded clicking sound every time I started the vehicle. Through no fault of the manufacturer, the placement of this blend door in the vehicle is a mega pain in the butt to install... wear your patience pants when attempting to replace it. The blend door, once properly inserted, worked great and moves through the various air settings perfectly. I would highly recommend this part if you want your vents working again in your 03 tahoe or similar vehicle.

I already had leds headlights so I wanted leds for my fog lights. Easy to install just as simple as turn pull the old push in the new ones and good to go. Very bright and good price. They work as they should. They seem to be a good quality so far we will have to see how they hold up. They fit like factory.

I like this product because it does everything the factory one does (works) Simple to install, but my tip is to separate the actuator motor from the cam wheel ,and hold the vehicles cam wheel in place while you install the new motor on it .Old motor comes off easy . Or if you try to install the new actuator and cam wheel together ,you might find it a lot more difficult to install .Save 80.00 over factory part.
