I got my 2010 Jeep Compass Actuator fixed! There are 4 actuators. 2 that are easily accessible and the other 2 that aren’t. In regards to the clicking sound without the car on, my mechanic said that GM vehicles are known to do that. It’s about $175 at the shop. For someone who doesn’t have car repair experience or want to spend time to deal with the issue myself, it’s the opportunity cost you pay. Even if you can get the part cheaper yourself. Just wanted to update everyone from my experience. Hope it helps and thank you for this video!!

Thank you for this video 😭 I’d sent my Jeep to the mechanics’ monthsss ago because of the weird knocking noise. They didn’t even get a chance to look at it till the day I needed it back, so all the info I got was that it was one of my two actuators. Glad to have some more details on what exactly causes it and how it can be checked/fixed/adjusted and whatnot 💪🩵 P.S. no hate to the mechanics btw, they were crazy busy those few days and had warned me beforehand that they might not get a chance to get a good look at my car 😅

@captfxco Год назад

Fairly common problem on Subarus. I've found that cycling thru all vent modes on full a/c including using the front defrost button a couple of times cleared mine up. Try that before you replace, you may just have a stuck actuator and if you get lucky this will free it up.

@chelseasyrek9792 Год назад

Thanks!

@joytalbot2858 Год назад

I was going to try this fix on a 2016 Jeep Compass. Do you turn on defrost at the same time while cycling through all vent modes or run defrost separately?

You are a card -- ❤️ of kings. Loved your presentation all the way through. But more importantly at this time you helped me figure out what that dang clicking noise is and where I can find it. I would describe it to other folks "mechanics" 🤔 -- but no one could figure it out, I even had a couple guys actually hear it doing its little clicking noise. So anyways, now I have your video, I know I can't change it myself, but I can go get one of those guys now too help me out. And I'm going to watch carefully too make sure they check out each and every part that you describe here that should be looked at. Because I'm definitely into saving money especially when it comes to my truck repairs, whenever I can. So I just want to thank you again, for this video and for your time in making it so funvtoo watch. You were great ‼️👏👏👍💗😊

Great video man. Im trying to figure out why the middle dashboard vents on my 2006 Accord don’t blow air. The other vents work just fine but half my ac works. This video showed me what might be causing this. Thank you sir

@MervsServiceSecrets 2 года назад

Glad to help. Yep, If you hear your fan blowing, but some of the vents aren't putting out air, it's probably one of 2 things: (1) Either there is an obstruction or (2) the flap isn't opening and closing correctly due to a bad actuator.

@brucewmclaughlin9072 3 месяца назад

Well I have a mad typewriter somewhere in front of me but Not on startup , Not consistent and it is off and on with no difference in rpm's . Environmental controls work well, so I am still hunting for the ticking noise and yes the car was fully inspected with the mechanic taking it out for two test drives without hearing anything? He said when the CEL comes on is a good indication of where we can find the problem , the CEL does not come on. Good narration and laid back humor in this video.

@raymondvandewalle934 18 дней назад

My actuator clicks during and after I turn off my Impala. I think it is draining the battery. The car jumps easy with portable charger. I drive for a while. Turn off the car. Go shopping then come back out and the car won't start. Then the clicking noise happens even then. I am so confused. My voltage on the battery is 12.4 and goes up to 14.3 when running. The alternator checks out fine too. Don't know what it is...frustrating. thank you for getting me closer to a solution!

I have a challenger. When I started my car it ran for a second then quit so took the left side dash apart to try and get to the metal box that controls the starting and got to it but couldn’t remove it for tight space. I spray the starter button with cleaner and if it quits I disconnect the neg on the batter and it resets the car alarm so it works again.

@deecross5028 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. We're experiencing a heat wave and the clicking would start then stop about 30 seconds later. Today there was no clicking sound. Do you think the problem solved itself?

@MervsServiceSecrets 2 года назад

Unfortunately, I doubt it. The shaft inside the actuator probably just spun for a while until it oriented itself properly. I'd keep an ear open for it in case it starts clicking again.

@MervsServiceSecrets 2 года назад

Sounds like the computer is telling one of those actuator gears to keep "seeking". Makes me wonder if it's gonna run down your battery too! Try unplugging them one at a time like I show in the video. It's hard to believe but perhaps they ALL need to be replaced?

@mindthegaphj637 2 года назад

@gavinflack4634 Год назад

Would the ticking noise continue if the aircon is switched off. I have that ticking sound in the dash and only stops when the car is off. Runs all the time when car is on and even when airconditioner is switched off.

@MervsServiceSecrets Год назад

It depends more on the position of the vents. When you switch from Heat to AC ... or for example from defrost to your feet vent ... that's when the actuators do their thing. To divert the air along a new path. It has more to do with that than the particular HVAC mode you are in. Make sense?

@MervsServiceSecrets 11 месяцев назад

Not sure. I guess one problem might be the resistor fried out. Or maybe the turbine motor is binding for some reason. But there are certainly other possibilities so I hate to play arm chair quarterback. If you get it diagnosed, be sure to post a follow-up for our subscribers.

@laragreene8328 11 месяцев назад

ok...loved the video!!!.....but.....my car starts the clicking noise around the dash area with just turning the key to on!! I'm definitely no mechanic but what can do that with nothing turned on? I dont turn the key to start the car I just turn it to on!!!

@MervsServiceSecrets 11 месяцев назад

Actually, that makes sense. As soon as you turn the key to your accessory or on position, the actuator may be "searching" for the right position. I like to look up under the dash and pinpoint where the sound is coming from like I did in the video.

09 Toyota Tundra clicking only on startup for a few seconds then it stops. It does it maybe 2 out of three times whether AC is turned on or off. Is this a blend door actuator issue?

@MervsServiceSecrets 2 года назад

That was the case with the mustang I worked on. Worn contacts in the actuator can cause it to "search" and stutter. But I also wonder if you might have some sort of obstruction. The best way to test for that is to manually open & close the actuator flaps like I illustrated. You have to work through the process of elimination I demonstrated.
