In this video I am replacing the HVAC Blend Door in a 2014 Camaro SS. The process is the same for all 5th Generation Camaros and this is also how you access and replace the Heater core and the evaporator core. This video explains how to remove the dash without removing the windshield which makes the job a lot easier to complete.

I may be mistaken but that motor over tightens the bland door breaking that plastic hinge. I live in FL so I just let mine break and kept the heater closed. I also disconnected the heater core lines. My A/C is ice cold with no heat leaking through.

This was about 2 full days worth of work. You can easily swap the heater core once the HVAC box is out of the car and open.

So I'm having trouble getting the bar out. Think I have all the bolts out and it's moves around but seems like something else is holding it. Anything I should check?
@ChrisVaughnTech
@ChrisVaughnTech 2 года назад
It's kinda hard to remember exactly where all the bolts are on the metal frame. There should be the two under the windshield that need to be cut and then there are 3 on each side near the doors I believe. There are also two bolts bottom center on the trans tunnel. The only other spot is near the steering column where there may be one or two more bolts

I need this done on my 2015 Camaro, shop ran a diagnostic test and said one of my blend doors is broken, the one that sits in the middle of dashboard and they told me to replace the evaporator case. They quoted me 3,300 By any chance do you live in Tampa, Florida lol?
@justcallmejohn2833
@justcallmejohn2833 6 месяцев назад
I assume the position of the blend door is critical on first start up or isn’t the actuator going to snap the hing off again?

Hi Chris, Great video. Its b been very helpful for me. I'm in the middle of putting the dash back in my Camaro after replacing the evaporator. On the drivers side I am having a problem installing what appears to be an interface box that clips underneath the dash next to the steering column along with the floor heater duct. The interface snaps in place but then I can't get the heater floor duct in place. If I put in the floor heater duct in first, then I can't get the interface to fit. What am I doing wrong? Ive already installed the tie bar. do I need to pull the tie bar out partially to be able to get both of those parts back in? Please help.

Those bolts should have been just a little shorter from the factory and it wouldn't even be an issue. I'm really not sure why they chose bolts that long for that location

You can fill the system with distilled water and run it a couple times up to temperature and then drain the water and refill with fresh coolant

What did you use to cut those two bolts?
@ChrisVaughnTech
@ChrisVaughnTech 3 года назад
I used a sawzall. The way I was able to do it is by trimming down a regular sawzall blade with a grinder. It's a little hard to describe here but you have to cut it lengthwise to make it thinner towards the tip so it fits in the space around the bolts. Basically cut off half the height of the sawzall blade for the first 3-4 inches. You may be able to buy some very narrow blades that will fit in the space but we just modified the blades we had lying around
@koelzspeedgarage2796
@koelzspeedgarage2796 Год назад
@@ChrisVaughnTech I used a JobMax oscillating tool with a metal carbide blade. I had to cut down the blade to make it narrower also. I wasn't sure it was going to do the job but it did. Thanks for the video. I wish I could see the regular speed version of the video.

I did this to replace the evaporator and now the climate control or blower motor doesn’t turn on any idea what I could’ve forgotten to connect or anything?
@ChrisVaughnTech
@ChrisVaughnTech 3 года назад
That's kinda hard to say since it could be quite a few things that you might have missed when reassembling the dash. I would first check the blower motor plug since it's accessible under the passenger side dash. Then if that doesn't do it make sure you connected every connector behind the radio and climate control unit.
