I replaced this myself took me a good 3 hours. The bracket on the bcm you can use a short screwdriver or a 8mm socket which I did it's easier (right side bracket). On the left side bracket you have bolt I used a 8mm open end wrench then took it off with my fingers. Have wire cutters to cut the zip tie off the wire harness on both sides of the brackets that way it can have more room to hang then you can move it out of your way. I give this guy props for filming it was hard just to crawl in the tiny spot but patience is everything.

Thanks for the video. This is the same problem I had, except my was the blend door actuator for the dual-zone climate control. I had the heater on and it was blowing ice-cold from the driver-side vents. Once I replaced the actuator, it now blows heat again. Very helpful.

^ same here blowing cold air on drivers side only no heat, so which did you replace to fix your problem?

@@daisyfloresrios6103 I replaced one that was just above the gas pedal and to the right. The way I found it was to stick my face under there with a flashlight on my head, then I kicked on the AC and changed the temperature and heard the clicking (and failing) of the actuator. That's how I found which one was failing.

Enrique, what happen when the foot vent is not reinstalled? I'm referring to the L shape part (QF-Shower Duct).

So is this the side that switches from ac to heat?

This video is helpful, but is misleading. I see in many comments that they replace this part, and the mode still doesn't change, or work. (It will continue to "click") The part "actuator" in this video is the heat/cold blend actuator. If you replace it with a mode actuator, you're going to get the results that many people have commented about. What will happen is the passenger side will be cold, and the drivers side will be hot. The "actual" mode actuator is just above this heat/cold actuator, and has a green, what I call a "cam" that is turned or moved by the actuator. That is the mode actuator location. It is the one that changes the direction of the air from vent to defrost, floor, etc. You get the idea... Again, the one is this video is the actuator for the heat/cold blend. Good luck to all. Many of these comments are 2-3 years old, so I'm a little late to this party. ;^)

At about 3:58 he’s pointing to the actual part that needs replaced. He took off the blender door switch, which is what he shows detached on the video, the part that needs replaced is above the blender door and the blender door needs to come off regardless.

Are there two blend actuator doors? One for diverting direction of air and one for switching from a/a to heat?

Dears it is fairly simple, but be aware when you take out the actuator the white plastic is what doing all the work and all the three connector for ( defrost, feet, front vent ) have to be aligned or else it wont work.
