2009 Toyota Highlander ac actuator replacement due to temperature difference from side to side. 

That is a good theory, but this particular car is a garage kept car in central Florida. I think it just happened to jump a few teeth. Thank you for the insight.

Ok Ok Ok Ok just call you 😊❤😊😊

Was your motor bad?

@@stevek3270 motor was good, it was the gearing mechanism. I moved things around and it started working again.

@@suprola7961 Thats great, exactly what mine was.

So changing this will work for both side?

@@martinserrano6091yes

That sounds like a good idea.

@@stevek3270 that was the easy task, now I've got to figure how to reassemble and put it back!

@@starrwars2655 It went back together much easier then taking it apart. Try it before you button it up, but make sure there is adequate pressure on the gear so it doesnt get pushed away from the arms again.

Before the mechanic, what is it doing? is it working sometimes or never?

@@stevek3270 it’s super cool on pass side, but not as cool on drivers. * we don’t hav individual temp Ctrl knobs for this 2011 highlander. Gona cursorily move things around down, under the dash and c if it helps🫰🏻

@@rudysmachado5747 If yours has the rear a/c option, turn on the rear a/c.

Then you are probably low on refrigerant. If you have a gauge, check it out. If you are not too low, turning on the rear a/c will help. A $10 can from walmart should have you back to cool.

If the dash is like mine, you will not have to remove the dash. I would have been able to get it out of mine with the way I did this. With that being said, I do not know if the Lexus is set up like this. I would assume so, but cant be sure.

@@hangingatthegulf.3889 it looks very similar- if not the same.

Update: the Lexus RX350 is exactly the same, however, there is a cover that goes over the servos to hold them in place. Wish I could attach a pic. I got the screws out of the cover, but I’m afraid to break the cover if I pull too hard.

Update: I was able to swap the mode servo out on the Lexus. However, the new one isn’t working either. Air is still stuck on the face vents. I just replaced the AC amplifier and that didn’t fix it. Any suggestions on further troubleshooting? ALLDATA says to check that wiring harness to the servos. However, it’s difficult to check that harness because the plastic connectors that go to the servos have IC chips in them.

@@kelbymorgan Are you sure the servo isnt moving at all? If you can, connect it to the harness, but dont install it, then see if the servo actually moves. It could be fine, and be jammed up at the gears. Most of the problems I am seeing with these are the gears coming apart and jamming up.

What part are you talking about? The funnel was the only thing that was in the way, and I broke it, everything else just was taken apart, then put back together correctly, no cutting.

Its possible, but it could also be the heater core, your thermostat, and some other things. Is yours also the dual climate that passenger and driver can pick their own temp? If so, check both sides.

It was a little hard, you need patience. You have to look at the path of the nipples before connecting them. Make sure it makes sense. And after you have them lined up, try the a/c, heat, defroster and make sure it works before putting it all back together.

The one I ordered was GPD 1712382 from Rockauto. I did return it though since I didnt need it.
