YCTHVAC Air Door Actuator 15-73989 604-140 Fits Chevy Traverse 2009-2012 GMC Acadia 2007-2012 Saturn Outlook 2007-2010 Buick Enclave 2008-2012 Blend Control Actuator Heater Blend Door

Works great and a lot less expensive than the $80.00 one at the parts store.

I bought 2 identical actuators for both the driver and passenger temperature blend doors that go on each side (the one on the passenger side is the lowest) of the console just under the dash of a 2011 Acadia SLT. If you’re worried about the shaft fitting in the right direction, you’ll have it right because it fits only one way. The screws (with Torx T20 bit heads) are gonna be tough, so don’t drop them into the abyss underneath. I was able to loosen them the rest of the way with fingers and keep a grab on each one.

Works

This replaced the previous one that only lasted 10 months. Hopefully this is a winner

esay to install

The install is the trick on this part and removal of the old part for the mode actuator. I would recommend what others have said, use one of them small ratchet tools. It will make your life easier in that tight space. When I went to put the screws back in, to keep that screw on the t bit, I used a little gasket sealer on the end. Just enough to keep it held to the bit when I went to put it in. Oh, to get the new part working properly, you either need a tool to reset they system or take the little HVAC fuse out for like 10 seconds and put it back in. I had to do that twice for the part to work properly (properly reset it). Before buying a new part, you can remove the fuse and try to reset it. Some say that will do the trick and you can avoid replacing the part. Also, if the original part is out of its boundaries, you can reset it but that requires removal and at the point, just replace it. All that info. can be found online.

This product is a awesome money 💴 savings compared to the factory dealers parts price. I saved approximately $170.00 on the blend door actuator motor alone. The actual replacement job took approximately 1 1/2 hours to complete the replacement of the motor itself. I had called my local Chevrolet dealership and got a estimate of the cost for the job to be done and was quoted an estimated of $700.00. I did the the complete job myself for $17.99 + tax for a grand total 🟰 $19.25 !!! Granted the actual repair is a little difficult but anyone who that is mechanically inclined can preform the work. Bottom Line is the dealership was going to charge me $700.00 for a job that should have been estimated at the dealership for around $200 to $250 max !!! P. S. Get an estimate from your local dealership for this repair or any other minor repair jobs your vehicle may need. But always go to YouTube and watch how you can do the repair yourself first and you may be able to do the repair yourself and $SAVE$ !!!!

The actuators solved the problem. Installation was a nightmare!
