04 Trailblazer Front Vent Fix - No A/C - Broken Actuator 

Great. I appreciate your compliment and I hope you solve your problem. Let me know how it goes!

Your welcome brother. Glad it helped.

That's a good idea.

I guess it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?

@Jad Luciano flixportal :D

@Mark Maverick Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!

@Jad Luciano glad I could help =)

Thats great man. I'm happy this old video is still helpful!

Good tips

No Problem

It's a common problem too. I hate how dealers love to rip people off.

@@maxandnicole Just got back from driving 350 miles. I forgot to check my condenser again. But when I got up north - I checked the condenser - the hoses - the accumulator - all HOT. haha. So my AC is totally busted. What happened is the dealer did NOT do the PCM update as per the TSB - since it got "cancelled" in 2008 - and so the mechanic wrote, "not sure if the update will improve the HVAC." So then people say - if you don't get the PCM Hvac module update then the fan clutch will bust again. haha. Oh well... tomorrow the dealer promised to give me free labor for redoing the rear differential cover. They claimed to have refilled the fluid - and fix the gasket leak. Since it was still leaking - then I checked the fill plug and of course it's all rust welded and stripped out - rounded out. Oops. So I ordered a new differential cover. Hopefully it will fit.

Thank you for the comment. I am glad this helped you.

good vid i have an 04 tb. and same prob. ill give a shot love your vids. thanks....

@@chickennugget3232 awesome 😁

Right on.

I'm glad that this helped you.

Thx. You have a good eye...i didn't notice the avalanche, it's not mine tho.

@@maxandnicole You're welcome

U are welcome!

Lmao you are funny. Gave me a good laugh.

Either you got KnightRider or it sounds like you unplugged the wrong actuator

No, it's gotta be done from underneath. I'd you remove the dash above, there will still be steel in the way

I think you may be able to. but It is in a tight spot so it's best to make as much space as possible to work.

Your welcome bro, I'm sorry i haven't replied to your comment. I hope you were able to figure it out. In case you haven't, the plastic piece is like a gear, so you need to turn the recieving end where you took off the actuator.

Max and Nicole Thanks for the response. Although I was quite frustrated after taking everything apart and trying to figure out the finally piece, I did turn the gear your speaking of & reinstalled the actuator. Once I turned on the AC & it blew out cool air 🥶I was so excited. I screamed like a won a million dollars. I put everything back together & sold my truck the next day 😁

@@Perfectdancing that's great man. Glad it worked out for you.

Good tip. Hopefully that helps some other people. It didn't work for mine.

I’ll try right now I have this problem

It didn’t work. I heard pops coming from the climate control control area but I guess it’s just broke

@@peytonbreeland468 Yeah sometimes I still hear it clicking but that did seem to work for mine. Sorry to hear it didn't for you.

@@CH-rt8qw nah here’s the funny thing. Now it will only blow out the defrost. As to blowing out the leg vent

It will not close again. The part is broken. It needs to be replaced.

Your welcome 😁

Exactly. "I'm Rick James b**" lol

@@maxandnicole forget who you thought I was

I’m Rick James bitch

Not likely. If the air is blowing warm then. Check if you have enough refrigerant, you may need to add some.

Lol, gotta have your head on straight. Some people just don't know how to prioritize!

@Valentino Ethan I'll have to check it out.

Cool, let me know if it works out!

When you say vent are you referring to the actuator? If so, then yes it needs to be unsrewed. I think. It's been a while.

Same shit, different servo.

Your welcome

Lolol

I did end up taking the actuator off. But it is possible to turn the metal dial on the outside without removing the actuator. I just didn't have a tool that would fit in the opening.

@@maxandnicole do you recall the part number for the actuator? Also was it the vent actuator?

@@miguelare3 srry, didn't get the part number.

You should be able to reach the actuator without removing the top dash. At the time, I was also removing the radio. Also, removing the dash gives you a little more working space and light

Yes

Top dash has to be pulled on Silverado

Yea, it is tight. Glad you got it working tho.

No, you can definitely do it. Once you get started it's not very difficult and it's good experience for you to work on your own car 👍🏻

I have a 07 Tb

Mine too! I’m going to try this

I think this happens to most of them when you disconnect the battery.

I have The dame isue 2004 trailblazer did you Fox your problem

2004 trailblazer dash vents always work. And defrosy Works Well but. No floor air

@@bertapacheco5936 Not yet but from what J hear it’s an actuator.

Np

I did screw it back. I also plugged it back in, though it doesn't matter. The piece is no good and won't turn plugged in or not.

That is a great idea. Clever.

My reaction after seeing the video😂😂

No! U just have to be mechanically inclined

🤣

Or spend a fraction of the price on tools and just replicate what he did

Don't be intimidated. Once you have your own set of hand tools you can save a lot of money on simple repairs. It is worth it and You can do it!

I know the feeling!

Welcome

No.

How can you explain me please

Eleazar Rosales .....just take off bottom panel under the steering wheel, not the whole top panel. He only took that off cause he was changing the radio too, there’ll be some screws that hold both together but you’ll only pull off the bottom part...

@@jmurguia5831 thank you 👌

@@jmurguia5831 thank you very much . I fixed my car A/C by myself I just buy the part 60 dollars .my A/C Works good, i never reset anything .thank you 😊

Eleazar Rosales ......glad that worked out for you! 🙌🏽

Whatever the reason that sounds expensive.

I feel you. Lol

Smart. That's right. This seems to be pretty common.

With this fix, the front vents always remain open. So if you turn on the defrost it will still work but the front vents will be open at the same time. If you want to shut the front vents off, at any time, you have close them with the small dials located next to each vent. Or find a replacement actuator.

I would suggest disconnecting the actuator once you've turned it or replaced the part entirely

@@maxandnicole Yeah I just removed the whole thing. Close it from the top and keep it pushing! Thx bro!👍🏽

You were able to turn it with a quarter? I didn’t take mine off, and tried using a coin (penny, nickel) to turn it, but the coins kept getting cut up. It wasn’t budging for me. Any tips?

@@shawncollins6379 try unplugging the actuator. The power running to it may be causing resistance.

Thanks

Ur funny

Mine was also all 4 front. It is probably the same thing.

Hmm, what's that?

Plugs into the OBDII port using an auxiliary 12V battery to power it.
