Started another project this morning. This time the AC repair on wifeys SUV.

The AC blows cold but the top vents are not pushing cold air through.

After researching the best estimate I could come up with was the passenger side blend air actuator. This part controls the vent flap and this the airflow to the upper vents.

I drove down to the local Oreilly’s auto parts store and picked up the part. I also bought a cabin filter since I was going to working in that area.

I dig it when I change the right part on the first try! LOL! The blend door changed positions immediately after switching on the ignition. The AC’s cold air blew right through.

One note, it’s a freaking bitch to get access to the actuators three mounting screws. I had to fabricate two special tools to gain access and manipulate the fasteners removal. I’ll post photos of the tools later with an edit of this original post.
