Thank you very much for the video, the main vacuum supply line for mine was just gone so i never knew where to connect my new hose once i got it. i just spliced in the new hose and now my vents work
Man I️ honestly can’t thank you enough!!! My actuator kept turning and I️ was that plastic piece broken. I️ ended up cutting the rubber on the floor board under that back screw and had plenty of room instead of removing the dash👍
Daniel Bianchi did you put the actuator back in or did you just move it Manually? Mines got the same thing i see it turning and skipping that plastic piece is probably split broken Reason why i ask did it on a semi once and apparently if you dont put the actuator back in it all falls apart behind and you cant even control it manually after the screws where they mount the actuator hold moving piece behind on that freightliner i drove
This Paul Smith I have a 2000 Dodge ram 1500 pickup. My blower motor won't work. The fuse box was the fuse was messed up in the box and you could wait till the fuse and it would come on but now it won't do that. It's done my relay or in my fuse box because my relay don't have but one hotspot
Thanks for the video, I've got the 5.2 gas and I have a wire hooked to the actuator right above the gas pedal. Going to follow the lines and try to get it back to the switch. Keep the videos of small info coming
mxsx199 just keep in mind that if your system is the same as shown in the video, you have a colored vacuum line attached to your actuator not an electrical wire. They all meet below and slightly to the right of the steering column. Let me know if I can help
Joshua Hughes I have traced them to the steering column but don't know where to go from there, the vacuum line by the fire wall is completely gone. I know that's the one I need but don't know where to tap in
Nice. didn't even of thinking of manually creating a control. Un/fortunately I am removing the dash to repair it, so can replace the ac parts fairly easily now.
thats what im talkn bout..thanks for the video.. i like to bypass all these britle systems on these old dodges ... i think the only thing your missing is a ball valve to bypass the heater core .. i shut it in in the summer or atleast pinch it closed.. thanks for the video. .. subscribed...
Have you actually cut into that plenum before and jammed the blend door open or shut? Cold fronts moving in and my blender tab just keeps spinning i was hoping to just manually shut it for heat and leave it there until summer when it’s decent enough outside to fix everything. I read something that said the heater radiator or something was right there i don’t want to cut into it without knowing if I’m alright.
About to trouble shoot my 2001. Found the low pressure cutoff switch was bad and the AC low side pressure was low. Charged generically now and might try cleaning the low pressure switch before I install the new one I just invested in. However, was noticing the line coming out of the condenser was frosting over correct and I only had a ~10°F drop in the vent. Wondering if the AC Heater Blend Door Actuator is bad or will have to do some bracketry work. Next to do like you noted after I read into some more. Thanks for sharing!
I get decent airflow from my vents next to the doors. the vents in the center are very poor flowing. do they have their own mode door? I have noticed I always have some amount of airflow coming from the defrost and the floor vents. I believe those not being sealed off is wasting some of my airflow
My hot cold door cable detached it's self... I used a small cheap pair of needle nose vise grips to hold it to hot side open for the winter and take them off in the spring
Hey, I've got a blower motor that don't want to come on because the fuse was messed up. You could wiggle the fuse and it would come on but now it won't even come on that way. So is it done by relay or is it in my fuse box?
Please don't take this the wrong way. Your information is fantastic and very helpful to all that need it. However, get someone to hold the camera so everyone can see what you are doing. Thanks for making the very informative video, as you cover all the pattern failures with these vehicles.
That door is supposed to be open or close to run max ac ? my truck is 2002 2gen men and i put the climate at 4 speed and it doesn’t blow enough air , i can hear the blower like crazy 300 horsepower and not enough in the vent
The actuator turning but not changing the blend door is cuz there is a plastic sleeve between the actuator motor and the shaft for the door. You can replace it they sell a metal one at heatertreator.cpm
hmmmm…..my 98 2500 doesn't have an electronic actuator motor down at the bottom of the hvac box. is there any other vacuum circuits that would control the blend door and might account for No heat? When I turn the temp selector from all the way hot to all the way cold I can feel the blend door slapping back and forth. all my vents seem to blow when they should and where they should with movement of the mode control but the heat is only luke warm at best. flushed the heater core a couple years ago. any ideas?
Mine is doing the same on a 1997 ram .it looks different I plan to see about opening it up tomorrow..I pulled the glove box but not much lock there the other vent door inside was working.
So my g.f is a 1997 2wd 318 auto. And it doesn't throw heat I dont believe that little door inside is not opening. And I cant get at it like yours it looks totally different cant even see the price that turns the door to tell if its turning or not any one ever done one of these it also has an air bag on the floor there can I remove it 2x screws and what a plug or no....???
I have a 99 ram 1500 and a/c only shoots out defrost vents. usually when i go abot 45mph or higher. im no mechanic but think its the vacuum line that comes from the intake manifold. is there s step by step vid on how to do the actual fix please note im a beginner.
I have a 1995 Dodge Ram and the problem I have is that when I floor it or accelerate hard I hear like a door move and it stop sending a/c air true the vents and it goes to the windshield vents for defrost and went I stop the acceleration the a/c air goes back to the front vents this happens every time I accelerate hard have anyone have or had this problem please comment
Blend door on your truck is cable driven. This video shows the electric door which came in late 98. Do a search on adjusting the cable. Also, with the truck off (so you can hear) quickly turn the temp knob from hot to cold, you should hear it slam shut on both sides. If not, that's your problem.
Is there a more detailed video or guide for cutting the hole near the glove box and using the screw for moving the door? I'm just trying to see the right place to cut.
This is somewhat similar to my problem when on defrost it’s fine till I go faster than 65 then it switches to the floor. Slow down and it goes back to defrost. What is the plenum intake gasket? The intake manifold gasket?
My door for defrost, floor, vent, when set on defrost works but if I go faster than 65 sometimes it just switches to the floor. Drop the speed and it switches back to the defrost 🤦🏻♂️
It's a fix but I don't understand putting effort into fixing it wrong rather than fixing it correctly. Cutting the vacuum lines and screwing wood screws not the doors, is only making the problem worse, just take the the extra time and fix it right rather than lowering the value of the vehicle by destroying parts.
That was too much work ..soo here is a screw and and a string zip tie and duct tape.getto fix ..when the brakes quit cut a hole in the floor and dig your heels in...tie a rope around an anchor for a e brake fix.
I recently purchased a used Ram. Since then I see nothing but videos with all the Crap wrong with Dodge. They even have the worst Dash and bezels on the planet. Kinda surprised Chrysler is still in business.
