How to Replace Blend Door Actuator Dodge Avenger (Clicking Tapping Noise In Dash Fix) 

What a great video! So many people talk you to death so unnecessarily! You're straight, to the point and perfect video shots! Excellent 👌👍! Thank you!!!

You are still the best teacher of this project on the internet with tough cam work.

You are very, very good at making these videos man. Great job and thanks! I was able to fix this issue for my girlfriend in about an hour with your video as a guide.

Just wanted to say thank you. This is obviously the best video made for these types of Dodge Avengers. I'm glad I somehow found it after watching multiple other videos!

Dude. Thank you!!! The same clicking started in my Avenger this morning. Now I have a fix that's easy and cheap to do. I was getting ready to trash the car. You saved me $100's in repair costs.

Very helpful! Thanks for making the video and showing actual steps we can see. Much appreciated.

Your instructions were exact. The replacement took 20 minutes total (due to cramped Actuator space). Thank you!

You ROCK! Thank God there are people like you getting out these messages. The dealer would charge me $500.00. And ya know what. I wont have to beg a man to this, I can.

This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much! This noise has been making me crazy for almost a month now.

THANK YOU! I just bought a 2010 Town&Country, got a good deal on it because of the clicking noise. Took me 4 hours to find this video, a half hour to find the broken actuator in my car, another half hour to get a new one from the store and replace it. I'm not a "car guy", so this is a big win for me. And you've just save me a lot of money that I'm not spending at a repair shop.

I'm going to have to replace a couple of mine. I have been reading the comments. Kudos to your for taking the time to respond to so many questions, that's amazing.

Love your videos - got one of the actuators going on my 2012 Avenger (definitely one of the ones behind the glove box) and this gave me the knowledge I need to replace the bad boy. Thanks!

Very helpful reminder since I haven’t done this in a couple of years. Solid video and audio. Thank you much! ✌️

Fantastic how to video! Clear explanation and excellent video! Appreciate you taking the time to share this repair. Folks like you help us to save time and money. Thank you! Owe you a dinner when you are in town!

I have this issue ever a few months, and it is always been the one to the far right which I think is the trickiest one to get to. Thanks for showing this video!

Very helpful video. I was actually able to change the drivers side actuator without removing the bottom panel. However it was pretty tight and I'm a smaller guy. If you're flexible enough you can reach everything underneath without removing the cover lol

Bro... I been asking a bunch of people and they don't want to do it because it was hard. Thank you for guiding me. I did it by myself and saved $100!

Thanks for literally showing step by step and showing us the view once removed, so I know I won’t break anything. You also showed us the other 2 even though those were not the issue on the vehicle you were working on. Thank goodness because mine is clicking on the passenger side and seems to fail every year, not sure why.

Great job. The attention of detail with the tonality of your voice is amazing. I was able to fix the actuator in my truck. In credit of your wonderful video!

Hey man! It's been 5 years since you posted this video and I just want to say, that you're a king among men. And I'll throat-punch a mofo who says otherwise. I've been dealing with this issue forever and talked to someone who said "there's only one blend door" and I thought -- that's weird, because that's not where the sound is coming from ... ... I just found your video, hahaha ... like, right now. And it's been months. Thank you!

This was the best video for this problem. Great job, THANK YOU

I have to say that you have the most informative videos out there. No doubt about it

Very helpful, buddy. Guided me through the repair. Keep up the good work

Great video. Was putting off on fixing it since another video said I had too remove the dash. Easy fix.

Excellent information and video . Straight to the point and very informative . Thanks

Ha! The last 5 years I've owned my Avenger and I get these clicks on both sides! Definitely one of my little projects in the not too distant future!

This video is, as I'm sure you're aware by now, one of the best repair videos I've seen. By any chance, would you happen to know what might cause the ticking in the actuator assembly itself? It looks like the defective one wanted to keep pushing past where it should've stopped.

Thanks a lot for this... fixed my car just now.. would not have been able to do it without this video..

I would love to replace the actuators myself, but I right want to mess anything up. But this video definitely summed things up. I really appreciate your explanation/video. I just need to find a good mechanic to replace the actuators. I have a slight clicking noise when the heat turns on and/or when I switch the control positions. Someone told me to also make sure my antifreeze isn’t low. I have heat coming out of the passenger side, but barely the driver side and the heat is not hot enough.

Thank you, great informative video... straight to the point 😎

Thank you! Worked perfectly on my 2013 Avenger SXT, the only hard part was the angle of those screws!!

Great video to the point, and free of unnesscary nonsense Kudos!

Hey people. I was reading other comments from other videos. IF your vehicle is blowing hot one side and cold on the other like mine was you either have to replace the Center Actuator, or the one on the Driver's side. I replaced the one in the center, it wasn't easy but I did it (this one controls the heat, not the one close to the passenger's side ). You'll need a small ratchet and 8mm socket, or you might need a Stubby Phillips/Flat screwdriver depending on what type the screw is. There is little room to get in, but it can be done. It took around an HOUR to get it out. Lots of body twisting. Use a Light too. I got my part from a Wreckers so I had to take it out, that took about an hour, because I didn't have the right tools. I used a Channel Lock to loosen the screws. There are 3 screws, but I couldn't get the back one so I broke off the last Screw holding it down. But I did replace the center one and now I have heat on both sides. The broken one I took out, shook it, and could hear it was crapped out. **** Sorry for the long posting, but if you're going to replace your actuator I would suggest order one online, or go a auto parts to buy a new one. Hopefully my 2 screws will hold. I was quoted $800 to get this done. AND don't forget to Plug it back in.

Thank you so much! The arm came off when I took off the actuator and was having a heck of a time figuring out how they went back on. Appreciate it!

Done right brother 👊 thank you 😊 God bless you and your family 🙏

How do you not have a million subs yet? You are staright and to the point, yet thorough because you include the small details with clarity. ***Definitely subbed

Well done video! Solid, direct, clear.

Exact thing was clicking on my 200 S. Thanks for your video upload!

Great job on the video! My 2011 Jeep is the same. Thank you very much!

Thanks man! That noise was driving me nuts!

Very good video,, great picture and extra chatting. Just right to the point and the subject at hand. My kind of video. Thanks for the great video. Best I've seen.

Thank you for making this video. It helped a lot!

thanks for the video! the ticking was driving me insane. thought the mob put a hit out on me lol

Thank you for the great video! You saved me a ton of time troubleshooting this issue.

Wow...Thank you! Your video was very helpful.

Thank u for making this videos there very helpful.

Great video with the details. This helped big time

Best video for 2010 thanks.

Gracias maestro eres bien expresado y claro thanks

First time I've I've posted a comment and RU-vid but thank you for the help.

Extremely helpful video thank you!

this has been very helpful you the man keep up the good work

Thank you for actually being helpful

Thank you for your video! I have the clicking sound on a 2006 Dodge Dakota. I've looked everywhere but I don't know how many actuators it might have. I do hear the noise coming from two distinct sides.

Fantastic and to the point, thanks!

Well done video. Very helpful.

Extremely helpful!! Thank you

Very Well Done !!!!

This is an excellent video!

thank you so much I was told by mechanics I would have to take off the whole dash

Most accurate video. Thanks. Chances you know how to prevent actuator from working every couple of second while key is not in ignition and car is off?

awesome video! I had to take mine in anwyay. I have a 2014 avenger . It has huge plastic piece from the AC next to it and made it impossible to reach to screw it in place.

Yup, just as you demonstrated. Thanks.

Great video, now I know what that damn clicking noise is, thank you!

Well done video. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! My Avenger started blowing hot air out of one of the vents and cold air through the others. I think this will solve my problem

That was a fantastic video. So clear! Close up camera view? Nice! And you weren't blathering on and on. To the point. Well done.

Excellent job sir.

Great video. Thanks!

I appreciate your help, sir.

Great No Nonsense video! Was the bad actuator for the Heat to Cold temp door, or the Defrost, Vent or Floor air director assembly? Applicable on a Chrysler 200 as well? Thanks!

Awesome, thanks! I just brought a used 2014 Avenger yesterday and didn't notice the sound until after the purchase. Anyway, it doesn't look too urgent of a fix and the part on Amazon is only about $18.00. It just looks difficult to reach.

That was a beautiful job. Will this also work for my 2013 Dodge avenger?

Thank you!

Absolute legend. Thank you!

good video,well done

Subscribed, I will check it all out. Hey what if I become an ACE mechanic lol.

Hell yeah brotha grazie grazie

Great video!

Great video... Just one thing you forgot to mention thats to disconnect the battery before removal of the part which is extremly important✌

thanks very good video

Great vid on changing that actuator. I have a 2011 Charger that has noise on that same one, is it similar to this to replace? Thx.

Thank you

THANKS! I've had a 2012 dodge avenger that made that annoying clicking everytime I open a door or turn the air on this was the problem.

This video solves my problem. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the demo video! I have a 2015 Dodge Challenger with the clicking noise and no heat on the drivers side. I got 2 actuators from Amazon and replaced the one on the passenger side behind the glove box and the noise went away and my heat returned. However after a couple of weeks, the replacement actuator made a louder clicking/grinding noise and I went to replace it again. This time, I started the car ignition w/o starting the engine. I noticed the white cam turned back and forth about 360 degrees. Is this normal operation? Should the cam or the door vent be in a specific position when installed? Thanks.

Thank you very good

The clicking sound is similar to what I heard this morning when I started my 2014 Dodge Avenger. Would I be able to locate the actuators in the same locations?

My Chrysler Sebring 2010 has the same clicking noise, not sure if the blend door actuator are located on same location as outlined in the video ? Thanks for making this video, very helpful,

Thanks for the help! Awesome 👍😊 I m curious with the actuator in the right side of glove box. I replaced the actuator but when i remove it the gear inside was pulled off, is there any polarity? Thanks

Make sure you stick the white arm on first before trying to attach the actuator. It has a small hole that fixes itself onto the car even without the actuator installed. Turns an hour job into a twenty minute one!
