realy realy cool! genius!

Thanks Alex😊

Man this is the best explanation I have seen . Have a 2015 Dodge Journey that hardly blows hot in the winter. Great Mechanic you are!

Just wanted to say that this was a great inspiration for an expensive part (hvac door and unit) that is poorly designed and likely to repeat the issue eventually. I did this fix for my dad's cherokee and it worked brilliantly.

Reto fit

Everybody is happy but the dodge dealer.

Very good thing I did it worked perfectly

Great video

Thanks for the info, great solution, l am going to do this.

Adding the screw to limit rotation was my idea too and worked perfectly. I used #4-40 drill & tap for SHCS. 2 years later now drivers side needs the same fix

Fantastic MacGyver’s got nothing on you!

That's great engineering !

Stupidest engineering ever

How did you get the bolt out when you cut it

That's actually smart

and in the pulley the position does not matter if it moves

Thank for you video.I got the same problem thanks again have a nice day.😊

awesome video Great job in explaining everything. Thanks.

awesome fix. I had same problem on 2011 jeep. must of replaced my gear 5 x.. that screw was genius.. I 'd buy you a case of beer and pay you to solve that problem like that,, I got it fixed to $1200 with total Hvac replacement.... wish I saw this video last year... Great Job Alex...

Hi Alex.is your article valid for my XF 2011. I am in NZ with no Jag,dealer nearby. I am trying to sort out the battery signal

Pcv valve?

Brother I thank you... My setup was lil different but worked... Thanks a lot for sharing this info... Keep doing good work ..

Great job man

thank you for the pro tip, brother!

Beautiful

Thank you for this video, best I found and have the same problem

The 5v ref is a series circuit inside the ecu, but parallel outside, so even if you test one 5v ref circuit outside the ecu and disconnect it the other 5v ref circuit is pulling the 5v down, because it's a shared circuit inside

Did you need to clean the melted glue from the interior cylinder seal...or did you just leave it?

Lots of useful information in this video 👍

Was the new actuator and gear needed, or in could the existing one be used?

Great video, i used this the replace my pcv valve on my GLA 250 👍🏻 The connection (clamp) is next to the hose from the thermostat.

Hi Alex I'm from montreal, I have a 2008 Jeep Cherokee 3.0 CRD with red lighting bolt on. Do you have time to take a look at?

❤

Great fix!!!!

Smart Mann.. I give you credit.. a simple screw😂😂

Wow you save me thank you

Thanks a lot Alex. You Rock ! Such an excellent solution. I'm having this problem in my Nissan and I plan to try it out.

you can improvised 12mm wrench. Cut the drive end of a 12mm and hammered it down to box wrench, flushed on one end and sticked a little bit on the other end..

Alex. I have a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan that I did a HVAC blend door reset by holding the power button and recirc (I think) at the same time but now it won't come out of reset mode...HVAC lights alternately blink always, for the last two months since i reset. I even tried disconnecting battery and tied + & - cables together for 10 hours. Still won't come out of test. Any ideas how to fix that?

Hello how are you? I seen your video its great thanks so much! But even thou doing what you said it does not blow cold. What should i do now? Its the drivers side. I unstuck it and can manually move it with my hand, but the air is still not cold as the passenger. What could be the problem?

I replace the thermostat and the car now is overheating how I bleed the system ?

U have exactly the same symptoms, this is brilliant, thought I might have too change my alternator, this could save me a whole load of time and money, many thanks.

Just want to let everybody know who has no heat. weas working on the Jeep 2010 . we did all the blend doors .still had no heat .after a bunch of messing around we finally figured out the water pump was bad even though the vehicle didn't overheat.

Thank you!

Great idea. I'm going to give this a try on my Durango.

Mine has stuck twice on the Passenger side. It's not a rubber seal on the air blend doors, it's some sort of foam, composite that is glued on, heat might be part of it degrading but its not melting, the seal is literally breaking down into a gooey tar like strips that are like glue traps. If the seal keeps its shape somewhat it might just glue itself open or closed, and you might be able to unstick the seal and free up the jam by playing with the drive externally. But both times my jammed, the seal folded over and jammed into adjacent places stuck the door tight, I had to remove the floor vent doors to fit my hand inside the HVAC and unjammed it from there. This last time, I just tore out anything left of the seal, I'll just leave the door unsealed. This is ridiculous, if you're going bury something under the dash that will cost $1200 in labor to repair, it should be over-engineered to be trouble free, instead it is under-engineered and flimsy with poor materials and prone to failure more than once during the life of the vehicle...... ....its not just the Grand Cherokee, nor Chrysler vehicles, its most of the industry has gone to this type of HVAC for the last 25 years, and they still haven't caught on that they need to improve these designs to be more durable and trouble free.

Does cars has 2 map sensors. I have that same sensor on a 2013 Ford f 150 Ecoboostm making pap pop noises when I accelerate.????

Brags about taking little things out of the way to do the job right then leaves the coolant reservoir in 😂

Bro…there’s nothing I can say that everyone hasn’t already. You saved me so much time, stress, money! Many blessings to you! Que Dios Te bendiga! Worked like a charm! Thank you a million X’s over. (2012 Durango)
