Any luck on this BigRondo? I appreciate your efforts
Sorry, I forgot. I will check today!!
I didnt have to remove right console just left 1. And I didnt have to cut the dash neither.
But thats why I got my hands all messed up trying to get it into the place hehe.
Nice pictures and thank you for the great explanation on how to.
did mine over the weekend, no need to remove radio bezel and i got a lifetime warranty part at O'Reilly's for $50 wasn't that hard once i knew where every little hidden screw/bolt was just take your time at it and you'll be ok, good write up and how-to though helped me out some

Good luck.
I think those are for the rear. I am speaking about the RH side (I have dual-climate). I get code B2267 (blend door short). I poked my head in and it looks like the RH actuator is in the same spot as the LH one.
Could you find anything on the RH one> I've done an exhaustive search all over and have turned up nothing. I will dive into this project soon (winter is coming)...
Thanks so much BigRondo, just completed mine and saved me about 800.00usd. Got the part from O'Rlieys for 45.00usd. Same problem with "broken teeth". I did not however need to make the cut, like others have stated. I was able to reach the screw with removing the bezel around the radio, ac/heat, info, 4x4 counsel. It took me 3 hours 5 minutes, with a trip to Autozone to get the 8mm Ratchet Wrench (highly recommended over an open ended wrench. I have zero experience with repairs, I have never even changed my oil. You're directions were spot on and extremely helpful. I was unable to put the top screw back in, so the actuator is in with the two screws, do you think that I will be a problem?
Thanks again, I will try the temperature sensor next, and of course use your writeup on it. Good luck to everyone who attempts this in the future, with patience and you WILL succeed.
Hello all,
I just wanted to say thank you, I follow the steps and everything went great, I only cut a little bit of the dash but it made it a little harder to put the part in but once in every thing turned out great. Took about 2 hours and only costed 53 dollars.
Thank you sooooo much
I just did this repair over the weekend, 3 1/2 hours, went really well, thought it would cover 2 days, checked the pictures for reference half way through.
Thanks and a great write up!

Just wanted to thank you for a great " How To Do It" presentation. I took my laptop out with me and followed your instructions and was able to complete the swap in just a couple of hours. The photographs and the recommendation on the racheting 8mm wrench were especially helpful, now I have heat to get me through another central New York winter. Thanks again.
