I was about to take mine out. I literally tapped it with a hammer, while the knob was in the dash air position. After tapping it a few times, it moved into position
GM= GOT MONEY. IN ALL THEIR INFINATE WISDOM gm designers need a kick in their azzez. They built a bullet proof engine around a bunch of fkd up component's. Thanks GM. Back braking BS.
Well done, sir. Great video. I wasted my time watching 50 other junk videos before I found this one that actually shows how to do the job, no theme music, unintelligible English promoting the channel, shout out to sponsors, like/subscribe noisy crap. Thank you! I liked and subbed.
@@kingdoge788 Thanks for subscribing and I’m glad you found the video to be helpful. All my videos will be the same way, no time wasted on introductions out rambling to scratch out time. Just how to fix the car
Thank you_ your video is prefect to help and I’m a WOMAN but I got this. My only concern is the jack and making sure it’s secure. But it’s super easy. Your video is one of the best.
Absolutely amazing video! Thank you so much for creating and uploading! Your camera angles, lighting, and step-by-step walkthrough were better than any auto repair videos I've seen online! Have a 2017 Kia Optima with a bad left rear wheel speed sensor and ABS/ESC lights on. I bought the part, then searched for a good how-to video and kept finding ones that just didn't seem to match up with what I was seeing on the Optima. Then I found your video and it was a perfect match, part-for-part and step-by-step! I never could have figured it all out without your awesome video! Got through it without a hitch, no more ABS/ESC light. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Also forgot to mention, your baby extension was awesome! Had to run out and buy one to get the bolts out without removing the shock.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback! Doing the repair is simple but capturing the right angle and lighting is time consuming. It feels good to know someone appreciates my effort.
Ill have another 97 lx by june. Comfy as a caddy, cool as a mustang, rides like a Benz and handles like a vette. The 97 had the most horse power and best suspension. Mine has 4 wheel disc brakes and a sunroof The New one will also have 4 wheel disc brakes and a sunroof.
I struggled with the same problem on my 05 Yukon, except it was for the rear AUX heater. After lots of diagnosing and realizing there was nothing wrong with the actuator or the control module, I realized that the feedback circuit that tells the control what position the door is in was out of range. It should read between about 1 and about 4 volts depending on the position. If it reads close to zeor or close to 5 volts then the acutator will stay in the extreme position and will not move. Use a volt meter and measure pin 9 of the actuator, it should be the dark blue wire. If its out of range, remove the actuator, open the acutator and reposition the gear then place something at the stops to prevent the gear or arm from allowing it to turn beyond the extreme ends. Reinstall and initialize the control by removing battery power or the HVAC fuse for about a minute. measure pin 9 and confirm your voltage stays between 1 and 4 volts at the extreme end of door movement. Easy fix but complicated explanation. Oh and the actuator pins start at 5 and go to 10. Pin 8 should be missing if our acuators are the same. Good luck.
Problem is when you turn ignition off and fan stops blowing that white gear fall back down. You would have to jam something against it or tape it in the position you want.
Thanks for the hack. I'm having the same issue. I think the mechanics didn't line it up correctly after fixing / diagnosing. Do you think you can flip the door without removing the old one?
ABS light was coming on so I scanned the car and found a fault for the wheel speed sensor. I changed the sensor rather than changing the entire wheel hub to save money.
Thank you, I started my son with just memorizing tool names but the more I kept him around the shop the more involved he wanted to be. I’m glad he’s soaking up as much as he can.
Great video! I replaced mine last night and it took way longer than expected due to the caliper bracket bolts being ridiculously difficult to remove. I was worried for a minute. Luckily, removing the sensor from the hub was the easiest part. Thanks for saving me a ton of money :)
OK. getting the actuator out is the easy part. getting it back in is the HARD PART. And no one gives any guidance on how to do it. Its clear you don't know how either.
Not quite true, actually I have replaced the actuator on this vehicle. You have to use a short 1/4 extension to get the screws started, you will be upside down and it will be difficult but you can definitely do it. I don’t think I could get a camera view of how to do this without go pro or some type of headset which I don’t have. I’ve had this vehicle 10+ years, maybe I’ll make another video of the repair to help you out. Like and subscribe, I’ll be making videos on the fuel pump, headlight electrical repair and I guess I’ll throw in the actuator.
Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback! I will be doing lots more videos on this vehicle as it is my personal vehicle and I’m restoring it. So if you’d like to see more please like and subscribe to my channel.
At 2:00+ put the safety pins in the Jack stands. PS At 9:00 you should have prefilled the filter about 1/3 to 1/2 so the oil pump isn’t running dry the first few seconds.
Great info I appreciate it! I never heard that about filling the oil filter some. I think that’ll be great for my 2004 Tahoe, but that may be difficult on this vehicle because the filter is horizontal.
Right on! great video man, I got a 2016 Hyundai sonata, acceleration not equal with the pedal pressure takes a min to just pull off gonna change the plugs myself this video was helpful knowing that I’m can do it
