So Glad I found your video, it saved me $1,475 in labor and parts. The mechanic shop wanted to take the entire front dash off. I told myself I'm sure someone on KZitem as figured this. Again, THANK YOU!!!

Wow, I really enjoyed sitting here watching you change out your actuator my man!!! I have my 2015 ATS in the shop right now for the same issue with it blowing hot on the driver side and cold on the passenger side, and the mechanic talking about taking my seats out and everything and I said I was watching you tube and they didn't take no seats out lol, and smh! Your video was 40 mins and some seconds long and he done had my vehicle 3 days already and just called me today telling me what he gotta go thru to get to the part , hell I already knew that lol. Now since seeing you making it look so easy making me wanna go get me car and do it myself lol. Thanks for the video!! As a matter of fact i hope he see your video and learn something!

@Pete B there are a total of 4 actuators as far as I understand...since yours was the opposite as mine (cold on the left, hot on the right) maybe the right actuator is the one that is malfunctioning? Let us know what they find - it will help someone down the road.

Any idea of a really rough estimate of what this would cost to repair at a shop, even a guess? I'm not impressed by my 2014 CTS 2.0 turbo AWD. My first GM product too. I thought "Cadillac" was their top of the line vehicle. This AC problem just happened to me today but also have a sunroof shade cover that is getting caught on something and the fabric wants to come off when opening, the oxygen sensor is bad so it's going in the shop for that tomorrow, when you punch the gas the transmission and power don't seem to sync well, it squeaks terribly whenever you go over a speed bump. the parallel parking assist does not work at all...all within 70k miles. I think I'll sell it, just not a great car and too many little issues and I don't even drive it hard or long distances. Beautiful looking car but that is about it. I have a Toyota that has 4x the miles and never a single issue at all other than new fuel injector last month. That has been my only repair over regular maintenance in 18 years on that vehicle. Was curious if other CTS owners have had bad experiences? Please reply if so.

I have this actuator problem on my 2010 Cadillac CTS4 that when turning on the AC cause a crazy noise last for about ten seconds which it cost about 1000 at mechanic shops. Mine one is at the passenger side I believe but is really expensive for me to fix it with that huge cost.

Hey man, would you think it would be my actuator that has slight clicking behind passenger glove box? Air will blow sometimes for 5 min intermittently then stop all together. Then soon after it might start. Also since you have the moveable dash screen like me, the sound it makes sometimes when going over a bump behind the dash kind of resembles the noise of the motor on the dash screen going up and down. What would your opinion be? Thanks!

David, I believe I am having the same problem on the right side (passenger side). I have the heat on being it is cold outside, the driver side works, keeps me warm while on the right ride I can feel very cold air coming out form the floor and upper vent. I did all the testing and troubleshooting you did and have confirmed the ride side is not pushing out the proper air temperature. Where can I buy the actuator and what would be the part# for this actuator? Do you think it would be the same process you used on the driver side? lastly, can you also send a link for the little tool you used to remove the actuator. Thank you very much for your video.

My 2010 makes a loud clicking noise when I start the car. It used to only do it a few seconds. Now it does it all the time unless I change the vent setting to floor. It’s in the defrost position when the car starts and clicks because on auto it tries to change to dash vents. I have to manually change it to floor to get it to stop
