2019 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L Recycle Door Actuator Replacement 

This should be a recall on how common this is

This was helpful, $20 part, $450 labor quoted by dealer. 10mm socket x4 for airbag, remove small panel on left to access 2 of the bolts: 3 clips, just pull hard. Duct piece is 2x 7mm or Phillips. The thumb wheel rachet is a requirement, got mine in a set for $5 at harbor freight. Find the part on the left side of the cabin filter held in by 2x 5.5mm, follow the wire up near where the duct disconnects. Removing the glove box let me get two hands in there.

For the smaller handed, one can remove the remove the glove compartment and replace the actuator from the cabin air filter side. That way you don't have to remove the air bag or the ducting.

Great video! I"ve read that you are supposed to recalibrate the system after replacing the actuator. Did you do that by any chance?

My 2018 Touring L is having the same issue. Disconnected while I wait for the part. Thanks for the information

Thanks for the video. Mine is doing same and I figured out it was this same part. My feeling is that it is in the wiring because I can put some pressure on the wires and it stops recirc motor from cycling. On my Pacifica it would only happen when a door or something was opened and vehicle wasn’t cranked, then it would cycle for about a minute or 2 then go back into “sleep” mode

I think we have the same issue on our ‘19 Pacifica Touring. Barely any air comes out the driver and front passenger A/C vents unless setting A/C fan to max. And still it takes some time for air to rush out, as if something was blocking it. Immediately I thought blower fan or actuator door malfunction. Thanks for this video!

Can you tell me how the electrical connector comes apart? Trying to do it by feel, I felt nothing to depress or release to get it to disconnect

This video was very helpful. It wasn't too difficult to get the old one out but I cannot get the new one in. I can't get it to go in place. Is there any kind of trick?

Thanks for the video. My 2018 is making the same noise.

Ah you’re killing me - I can’t figure out how to get to the screws - I must be misunderstanding what casing you removed… I removed the connector out but the screws are impossible! How?? 😓

What's that tool called or where did u find it

One thing I can't figure out is where to find the instructions for replacing this part. Could you advise where did you find them?

8-31-22. 2017 Chrysler Pacifica air recirculator actuator would not shut off, drained and killed battery. Dealer charged $30 for part and $480 in labor, plus $150 battery. Screwed again by dealer

I'm having the same issue with my wife's Pacifica, and I already bought the part. My question is, do I need to unhook the battery or anything? I remember I had to change something like this on my 2011 Chevy Impala, and I had to unhook my battery on my car for a while to drain the computer so it would have to reset itself so the computer could "find" the blend door position. Do I need to do something similar to that with the Pacifica?

Will this cause the ac not to blow cold

Where did you find the repair manual?
