    I could cry, I have AC and heat again for the first time in months thanks to this video (and my husband for doing the work). I almost croaked when the repair shop told me the total cost could get up into the thousands.
    My husband did use the weakest setting on his dremel and a bit with low profile teeth to speed up the plastic cutting, and managed to execute it perfectly.

      Gorilla tape is the best way to seal the door and you can take it off easy when you do the job a second and third time. Which you will. I've done mine twice.

    I followed your instructions step by step. Used a heat X acto electric knife. Took 5 hours cuz I took my time reviewing each step. AC is Freezing now! Heater is hotter than Hell.

    First, thank you so much for taking the time out to show us how to replace the blend door. I live in the midwest and my heat stopped working about 2 yrs ago. I was very nervous about doing this myself especially with the heatee core being so close to the blend door but I was able to fix it with no issues. For any woman reading this, if I can do it so can you. Just watch his video from beginning to end first, get every tool that he suggested, remove the car seat and get a pillow for your back then go to work. It might look challenging but it's not. Might is back working now. Again, thank you so much!

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  Před 5 měsíci

      I had an engineer drive from a neighboring state to have me do this job that he started and got part way through and decided it was too much to finish so you should be proud. I have done 15 of these now and most have been for men who didn't have the confidence to follow the video and do it themselves.
      Good job and glad it helped you.

    2015 Camaro LT 65,000 mile on it, had the AC on noticed warm air/cool air mixture blowing immediate thought was low on Freon popped the hood high side of AC line ice cold. So I ordered a bore scope for my Iphone and a blend door. Most likely the blend door hinge is broken. Thanks for the awesome video. Update to come.

    • @rustyboy46

    For anyone that doesn’t have a scan tool. It’s not 100% necessary. All I did was disconnect battery and after finishing and connecting everything back. The only problems I encountered was tpms was all dashes and the compass was saying “CAL”. But literally after driving it for 5 seconds everything went back to normal. With the patience and tools you’ll get it done.

    I have a 2010 Camaro with the same issue. The A/C mechanic I took it to installed a valve on the heater hose, you close it for A/C and open it for heat. He said he did not know how to fix the blend door and this way was the most practical fix he knew of.
    Today I found this video and ordered a new blend door off Amazon. Also, when on the order page an electric hot knife popped up. So Amazon must know about this fix. It will be nice to switch from heat to A/C without having to stop and turn the valve and burn the shit out of your fingers. 😮

  • @RoliO11
    @RoliO11 Před 5 měsíci +2

    I finally replaced my blend door last night. I started at 9:45p and by 11:30p the new part was in and secured. I think I could have knocked this out even quicker but a few things held me up.
    1. The plastic piece that you cut off to access the blend door, TRIM it like this video suggests. I tried to put it back in without trimming it and I couldn't align it right. I fought it for a while before giving up and then trimmed it. It went in right away after.
    2. The AC vent tube that is removed at the beginning needs to be put in first when you are reassembling it and the BCM pieces/wires. I tried installing the BCM first and then the vent tube and failed miserably. Once I took out the BCM (and the bracket it is in) the vent tube reattached easily.
    3. Get a GOOD light. I can't stress this one enough as there is very little room down there to work in and you can't see anything without a good light you can reposition over and over to get good views of everything.
    If you need something good to cut the access door with, I hight recommend this ($40) plastic welder. I bought it several years ago for other projects and it worked great for this project too! There is a rounded tip that comes with it that was perfect for the job. It took me about 5 minutes to cut out the plastic piece., seriously 5 minutes if that!!

    Such a helpful video. Thank you so much. I did this today and only problem I had was installing the cut back. I couldn’t seal it. I ended up just going with it unsealed and the ac and heater work. I didn’t remove the seat or disconnect the battery and everything seems fine. Thanks again.

  • @joemarks3719
    @joemarks3719 Před rokem +6

    Got the door cut and out today, wasn't too bad, took a few hours, but I didn't get in any hurry.
    Only thing I would add is the horizontal screw for the air duct was a Hex 20 on my car and not a 7mm. Mine is a 2012 2SS.
    When you get these two screws out pull down towards you and rotate clockwise, the duct comes right out.
    The only issue I have now is trying to fish out the broke end, and the white connector piece, but I'll tackle that tomorrow.
    I used the borescope and unfortunately, they both are about 1/2 way down to the passenger side, approx. 6"-7" away from the hole I cut.
    I tried a vacuum with an end on it that would hold them at the end without pulling them into it, but it didn't reach far enough.
    I guess I'll try a long screwdriver tomorrow.
    Thanks for the video, made it much easier to do.

    This was a very helpful video and I appreciate you doing it. However I just finished doing this on my 2014 Camaro. I must say this is the hardest repair I've ever done to a vehicle in my life. I struggled almost all the way through it. Lying on my back wasn't good either it made me nauseous and sick. If someone offered me $3,000 to fix their car this way I would refuse. I did however spend the money for the billet blend door so hopefully it will never break again and if it does I know I'm not fixing it. Thanks again for your video I probably couldn't have got this done without it.

    This video helped me change my blend door myself. I'm 58 yr old healthcare provider. I'd like to add that there is a simpler way to check if the blend door is working. Remove the cabin air filter. Have someone turn the AC to on and over to heat. You can clearly see the blend door moving. Of.course that was after I fixed it. So if it's broken. The blend door shouldn't move back and forth.

      I'll take a closer look at this tomorrow morning. I'm in Florida and morning is best for me to work on my car.
      I've changed the blend door and it moves back and forth easily. I also changed the blend door Actuator since I was right there to do so.
      Unfortunately, I'm getting cold air when I start out driving, but then it goes to warm air.
      I'm thinking, I may have mixed my new Actuator with the old and put the old 1 back in.
      I am going to change that out in the morning.
      I'm at a loss as to why I'm getting cool air and warm air . It comes and goes.
      Any idea what else might be my problem. Help help help🙏🏻

    QUESTION: am in the process of doing this repair and have hit a snag. The shaft on the actuator motor won’t align with any position that I can adjust the newly installed blend door. It's just slightly off but enough where I can’t even re-bolt the piece on. I’m thinking I can reset with a 9V battery, but can’t find the pin assignment to test. (GM Part # 92215208/ACDelco Part # 15-74128) Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your videos!

    Hey man I need help , do you think the blend door would be a reason for the clutch not to turn on the compressor?, I changed ac pressure switch , the clutch on compressor not engaging . I even tried to jump the compressor. But the weird thing is it engaged for the first time , I saw .. a few days ago ,when it was kinda cool outside.. 1st time ever since I had my Camaro since January .. i need all kinds of advice , trying to get it done this week before this 110 degree weather end me 😭

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  Před rokem

      No, the blend air door will not have any effect on the compressor. If you know it is fully charged check the temp sensor. Watch this video on this Camaro blowing ice crystals, the temp sensor is what causes the compressor to cycle and if the temp sensor is stuck at a temp showing under 38 degrees the compressor will never come on. czcams.com/video/_AYCzuww-Mo/video.html

    Thank you for this video! SO detailed. I was able to knock this out in about 3 hours. Unfortunately I should've got the scope because once i got to the blend door it was perfectly fine. I replaced it anyway with the new one since i was down there. I never thought I'd actually HOPE it was my blend door. My car still blows hot air in the summer and im suspecting will blow cold air in the winter again. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Maybe it's something as simple as recharging the AC/Leak. Its a 10 year old Camaro with 92k miles. Any suggestions on what the issue could be ?

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  Před rokem +1

      Look and see if the compressor is engaged when the engine is running and if so, feel the aluminum low side line that is next to the master cylinder and see if it is cold, if it isn't then check the refrigerant charge.

    Just recently did this repair and while my air is still a bit cool compared to what it was, is it possible if you didn’t seal that plastic back up that the air that’s escaping could be coming in contact with the heater core resulting in it blowing warmer than it should? That’s literally the only thing I didn’t do and it started off fairly cool but today it felt warm again. The door seems to work cause I can tell the difference in temp otherwise.

      The problem with using a dremel is the cut will be thicker than using a hot knife and the most important is if you even touch the evaporator or heater core you will grind through them. The purpose of using a hot knife is NOT being able to cut through either of those.

      So if you just barely put it in and with the key on turn the temp selector you should see the door open and close if it is not broken if it is you will not see it move. If you were to look straight through the hole the door coupling would be just below the hole. The video below is another video showing the boroscope in action.

      I cannot see the heater core, only the evaporator so it must be stuck in the cooling position.
      Based upon what it is doing, it probably is the blend door.
