I know this is older but thanks a ton! Unfortunately my hands were way too big so I showed this video to my wife and had her stick her small hands and arms back there.

Good video. It helped a lot. There is a piece of ductwork under the dash below the glovebox that is held on by 2 screws. If you take it out as well, then you can work from underneath and actually see most of what you are doing, instead of doing it all by feel.

I was able to replace the actuator today using this video. It took me about 30 minutes, but it was definitely an exercise in patience. You can do it, but take your time. I was able to do it using the 7/32 socket with just the joint socket attached to have something to hang onto and got it loose enough to unscrew with fingers. I had to fiddle a bit to line up the screw holes on the install of the new motor, but finally got it to line up. Again, a little frustrating since you can’t see, but take your time and you can do it👍. Thanks again for the great video!

Thanks for the warning about the gear, I defiantly would have tried to spin it to make it fit in

Thanks! You made the best video I’ve seen on this repair. It took me an hour to complete but that’s just because the space is so tight.

What a great video! Thank you so much! I was able to do this with your help. I recommend plastic gloves for added grip and a sweatband for your forearm for padding. I also got a thumb ratchet and it was really helpful for the 7/32 screws.

Answering you from the other video I asked you questions on this is the sound I was hearing

Thanks so much for this. Just completed my first car repair on my own! I did have to adjust my gear which required me to watch another video and taking the new actuator apart which made me so nervous.

Thanks a ton, your video was extremely helpful in replacing the faulty part! 🎉

Just fixed it! Thank you!

Thank you! This noise has been driving me crazy!

The flapper clicking would definitely drive me nuts lol, excellent video Michael 👍😁

My man 👊🏼 this was driving me nuts and $20 to fix

Hey! Thank you so much, I have that mystery sound since I bought it

I appreciate for detailed and useful information.

Excellent video. So what actually fails? A bad ground? Can I use zero ohm dialetric grease? I would suspect the gears are binding due to play. I will be taking mine apart. I am also going to test the ground and the connector for continuity and check that the required voltage is to OEM specifications.

Excellent video. Appreciate the step by step process.

Excellent video

Oem doesnt come marked..... You have a blue mark because maybe the car was bought used.

@diywithmichaelborders this video is super helpful! i am hearing this same sound on the driver's side behind the dash. could this be the same issue??

Awesome vid man!

Is this actuator links provided is for passenger or driver side ?

Could not have done a better job demonstrating this.

Where is the driver's side actuator located? Could someone point me to a video?

I just picked up a used 2017, and I dont think my recirc button is doing anything. I dont hear any noises, and will take out the glovebox and panel to see if the button is actually moving or not, and try to replace this part if its not moving at all

I don’t have the flapping noise issue, but the AC stops coming out of the vents after a while. Sometimes I can shut off the AC and turn it back on and it resovles, but soon it doesn’t resolve. The AC is blowing, I can hear it but only feel it very slighty. It’s been suggested that this piece may the the culprit. Anyone have this issue?

Anybody ever seen gloves in a glove box? 😅

My gosh, it's either someone with a bad accent or someone who over explains things lol. But good video
