I’m a single woman on my own and somebody tried to charge me $40 to diagnose and $170 per hour to fix it. I watched this video, found the part for $14 and some tools for $10 and did it all in 15 minutes. Thank you so much for this video! Now I have heat on both sides of my car and no more clicking lol
Awesome..glad I was able to help..dont forget to subscribe and click that bell :)
@@klowny1969 Don't you have to have the position programmed....re-programmed?
There is a function in the tech 2 to program it..but its not necessary
YAY FOR HER!!!!! This video is perfection!!!!
Im here because the dealership i took it too tried charging me 500
had 3 of these in my trunk for 8 months was to lazy to do them finally got tired of the noise and did it in 10 min at my job on my 15 min break lol . great video man
Awesome!! Glad I was able to help..don't forget to subscribe 😉
MAD props on the camera work! It is not easy to get in close in a small space and keep everything in focus. Seriously, fantastic video for a PITA issue.
lol thanks for watching and commenting
klowny1969 How often have you had to replace that part? It’s been l think less than a year since I replaced mine and it ticking again.
I agree great view
@@klowny1969sorry I may have missed it but what number bolt did you attach to the socket wrench!?
I swear that clicking noise is driving me insane!!! Thank you so much
I almost paid $600 because both of my actuators broke. Now I'm only paying $40. Thank you for both videos.
Professional grade video! Your video was by far shorter than all the other on this component yet it vividly demonstrated EVERY step of the process! Efficiency, sequence, logic, clarity, quality...this was a model video!
Thank you very much..please also subscribe :)
Thanks for the video! I have a 2012 Impala with a bad passenger side actuator. This replacement will actually be the 2nd actuator installed. The first went bad under warranty. The covered charge was $285.00. I bought my actuator from Amazon for $15.00. To me the hardest thing about the replacement was finding a pad to my knees from the driveway. Aligning the replacement actuator took a of attempts but wasn't that bad. Total replacement time was about 45 minutes. Your video was key for this project. Thanks again.
@Alabama Crappie Adventures Would the method of alignment shown in the video be okay?
I paid $160 for my dealer to replace mine in 2013. Thanks for your video, I saved this time. Even with the blind screw locations and installing by feel it was a quick repair.
awesome..thanks for watching and commenting..please check the description for a link to my apparel.
Appreciate that. I replaced mine, the same actuator was doing the same exact thing & it caused my heat not to work on the passenger side, so I used this video & switched the old with the new & now I'm back in business with my heat.
Marcus Hillman how long did it take you I have a 2008 Monte Carlo I need to switch out
The Monte Carlo was discontinued after 2007, but still, same as Impalas 2006-2013. If you push down on the top of the glovebox when open, it drops right down. 20 seconds. Unplugging the little clip tab wire harness on the unit, 40 seconds. Removing the unit with 2 bolts may take 10 minutes. Find replacement at your favorite parts retailer or GM dealer (ripoff) and reinstall. The most time lost will be finding the replacement part. I just took my part to Napa.
I am impressed with your cinematography skills...must have been hard to squeeze everything in there.
thats what she said!!
Thanks for your wonderful help. I changed out all 3 on the wife's impala yesterday, and your videos helped sooo much. . . .
Thanks for all your help! It took me 10 mins to take off and install after watching your videos. I owe you a beer my friend!
awesome! Glad i was able to help!
I just finished changing the actuator in my 2012 Impala. Now I have heat on the passenger side and no more clicking. Thank you so much for your easy to follow step by step video!!!
Glad I was able to help..don't forget to subscribe and hit that bell
You were right on point. I have zero mechanical skills. But they wanted to charge me $300 to $600 for this. I got everything done for $41, and I did it myself. Thank you very much!
That's what I'm talking about..don't forget to subscribe
FANTASTIC! This video led me right to this unit behind the glovebox. I was afraid it would be the driver side one. Can't believe how easy it was. Thanks so much!
Drivers side one is easier.
Jeez, your video is a breath of fresh air after watching videos where the voice is drowned out by the symptomatic annoying clacking noise they let run forever like you don't know what it sounds like and the visuals for instruction are top notch. I will be subscribing and watching your channel first the next time I have a repair! Thanks bud!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this video!!! I was able to change it all by myself. May have a sore knuckle for a while from pulling the old one out, but definitely saved myself a lot of money!!!
Angela Claar awesome! glad i was able to help
Thank you so much you saved me such a big hassle at Chevy. They wanted to charge me $350 for labor and parts.. You have saved me so much money and time with your video thanks!!!!
+Andrew Mestman 350 is robbery..thanks for watching
Thank you for posting this video because it just saved me a lot of money. I just fixed the same actuator on the passenger side by myself. The hardest part was getting it to line up correctly. Sadly, I have to do the same on the driver's side and I know that is going to be a challenge. I am up for the challenge because I have your other video as a great guide.
Elizabeth Johnson glad i was able to help!
Thank you for this video, swapped mine out and only paid $20. Excellent tutorial!
One comment to add to those that do this, you don't really even need to hook up the harness until it's mounted. You can turn the blender door by hand to orient the shaft to the actuator. I need to swap my air inlet actuator, it's the same part. thanks again.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I was able to disconnect the actuator this evening as the sound is obnoxious and ordered the part from Amazon Prime for $22. Should have the part on Wednesday. You made it look easy so wish me luck on the install!
lol awesome! good luck!
Thanks for this!!! This noise has been driving me mad for days. It was only happening when I'd open or close my front doors or unlock my car. 😑 now I've at least silenced it until the part gets here.
Well done - I worked in the plant that built your Impala in 2007. I thought you may find this interesting. One Impala ran off the end of the line every 54 seconds with roughly 1800 employees on each shift of a 3 shift operation. 2016 the impala and Camaro will shift production back to the USA.
Wow talk about assembly line hahhaa..u never know..u might have worked on my car..pretty kool!!
I would like to thank you for this video! it helped out tremendously. I first heard the ticking noise and than my heat on the pass. side started to blow cool air as the driver side was blowing heat. this happened with the all the vents on the pass. side. I changed it out myself and had the heat blowing in no time! I live in Minnesota and this been below 0 all week thank you so much!!
jake chudzik awesome glad u were able to fix it
As a women that knows nothing about cars and after doing many researches. I have found that your video was the best with explaining on how to fix this problem. I was able to order the parts from the same place you order from and the model number was the exact number as the one on this video.. This took me no time to fix BY MYSELF!! Wooohooo!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
Lol awesome! Glad i was able to help
Second time changing this HDA bought replacement about a year ago at O’reillys had to come back and refresh my mind thanks again
Thanks for watching
Thanks for making this video! Will be replacing the same actuator in wife's '08 Impala tomorrow.
Thank you!!!! Money has been tight lately and when this broke i was affraid of the cost buy thanks to you it was not only cheap to fix but extremely easy.
Jesse Hernandez glad i was able to help
I'll be replacing both of these actuators soon. Passenger side clicks, driver side does nothing. Thank you for the video. Driver side looks like a headache and a half lol
You just popped it right back in. I aligned it just right and it still refuses to pop in..lol. Gonna try a few more times. Thanks for this video!
Geez. You make it look so easy. I'll be changing both this weekend (heater and blend) if the weather permits. They take turns making there super-annoying noise.
Thanks for the videos.
Thank u for watching and commenting :)
awesome you made it easy to do. Your whole description from start to finish was spot on. Thanks
glad i was able to help
klowny1969 I having the same issue with my '13 Chevy Impala by watching your how to video the job looks pretty straight forward.
Thanks for the much needed info! This saved me from getting ripped off $400 from the shop. My 2012 impala started to make that ticking noise last month (unfortunately from the driver's side so it was quite a hassle to get that fixed). About a few weeks after that was done, now my passenger side is going off! Luckily, it's more accessible through the glove box so I have no problem with that. Gotta love GM's cheap parts.
sweet..i also have a video on the driver side actuator
+klowny1969 That's exactly what I watched next. :) thanks again!
+Anessa Rodriguez kool np
I am so proud of myself right now!!! Thank you!!!!!
Stephanie Norman pleasure!
I installed my new one and it's ticking right out of the box. I lined up the rotating part correctly and everything. It is the same part as the one in your video. Now I have to wait ANOTHER two weeks for the replacement part. Oh well, thanks for the video. By far the best one I have seen for this repair.
I’m having the same issue currently, I’ve replaced it twice yet there’s still a knocking sound, any ideas?
I am having the same issue - I am on my third replacement, but nothing seems to stop the clicking.... Anyone find a solution?
Great video!! Saved me time and money. People who post great videos like this are saviors. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Thanks ric..love ur wrestling moves..dont forget to subscribe
Thank You so much!!! Mine just started doing this and the first time I thought there was a bomb in my car or something and freaked out and then it was just annoying and wouldn't stop. Saved my life my man Thank You so much
lol no prob
Thank u for showing how to get this done. Just ordered two actuators for my impala off amazon. Cant wait to get this fixed.
Ronnie Perez ur welcome
Great video it was very helpful. I changed it on my own & didn't have to pay 300 to 500 to car dealer Thanks
Changed mine 02/13/2022 after watching this video and ordered part from Amazon $13.00 thx for video saved at least 350.00 labor and parts
Awesome..glad i was able to help
Thanks for the video. This helped a lot. I was able to turn the white pin manually.
Same here
Excellent video. You weren't kidding about the small space but......your video was spot on and saved my me I'm sure a lot of money. Thank you
Glad i was able to help
Thanks Klowny. I always watch your videos. I watched this one for the hell of it a few days ago. This morning my 06 Monte Carlo started doing the same shit........ thanks to your vid I know exactly where to go.
lol thanks for watching
Thanks Klowny,,,,you're the best! Just got this done, took me a LOT longer than you,,,,but it's done,,,me and my Dad figured a dealer woulda charged anywhere from $600-$800,,,,say $100 an hour for labor, a hundred or so for the part, and a hundred a so just for the heck of it,,,,plus tax!
I got the part from the same guys you did for about $20, plus around fifty for tools,,,,the little ratchet (I used a geared one) for about $12, and a socket set and some little screwdrivers for around another $20,,,didn't need all of them, but thought I'd keep them just in case, start my own toolbox!
My total price=about $70 for something I woulda paid a dealership at least $600,,,,a total savings of $530-win for me! Thanks again, man, you rock!
Awesome. .stories like these are why i make my videos. .keep wrenching and thanks for watching
YW!
My heat surprisingly works and blows out just fine at the moment so maybe it's stuck in the right spot! But besides being annoying I think it's draining my battery. I may just disconnect the wire, like you said. Thanks a lot!!!!
Thank you bro I was just having an issue with my heat not working on my passenger side got on CZcams saw your video it was REAL helpful I did what I saw you do and it worked I thought that problem was under the hood but thank you I appreciate your HELP
Awesome!! don't forget to subscribe
I decided to look it up on CZcams and I found your video, it looks easy to do. You say that if the noise bothers me to disconnect it, but I did and still makes a noise. How many of them are? Btw, I had a mechanic change the one on the right side, charged me almost $200. So I have decided to do it myself on this one. Your video is very easy to follow. I'll post when I'm done.
Excellent video/tutorial!!! Thanks for posting this. It took me maybe 10 minutes to remove it and another 10 minutes to install it.
glad i was able to help..don't forget to subscribe
I'm late to this party but just now had to do this repair. Pro Tip for my fellow fumble fingers: put a small towel or something like that under the actuator to catch the bolts if/when you eventually drop the bolts. It made recovery very simple. I probably would have had to remove a lot of the dash to get them back lol.
thanks for the tip..dont forget to subscribe
FANTASTIC TIP (@ 2 min.} to stop the clicking until the part comes! Now I too will order it since you show us their box with their pn. U R AWESOME!!
Thanks for watching and dont forget to subscribe
I just did this repair on my wife's car........it's not as easy when your disabled and can't bend in the way to even get to this part ! I looked into having it done and the estimate was between $250-$375 . The part cost me $42 in 2022 and it took me about a good 45 minutes . Now that I've done one the next one will be less than 10 minutes ! I found it easier to take the cover off the motor and just replace the plastic gear in the middle . Way easier and quicker and the factory motor is never bad .....the clicking is from the middle gear having chipped or missing teeth !
Awesome! Glad I was able to help! Don't forget to subscribe
your video just saved me $500, thanks a lot for this detailed tutorial!
Rick Brache wow 500 bux..whats wrong with these mechanics??? its a 10 minute job!!!
Thank you, fixed my car in 15 minutes for $15 dollars. Excellent video.
jdbrot cool
Thanks for making this video! It was not nearly as bad as the driver's side, I think it only took 30 min. I appreciate it! 👌

I replaced mines 4 days ago. I only spent $18 for the part. Very easy fix it yourself job.
This will be the 3rd I have to replace this thing!🤬🤬🤬
Plz tell me how u got the glovebox out
I cut two pieces of white clothes hanger wire two inches long and inserted them in the screw holes. With the actuator plugged in and the car and AC on, I guided the wires thru the actuator screw holes and while holding it firmly in place, the actuator gear rotated until it engaged the shaft.
Just changed my lower HDA. Actually extremely easy compared to the upper (which has gone out on me twice). Still, this is a "high patience" replacement job.
I purchased the part locally at Autozone for $38 and it took me about 30 minutes to replace. Easy prep (empty glove compartment, push on the back of the glove compartment and it will rotate down, disconnect battery, etc)
The upper right and bottom right bolts were 5.5 mm. I was able to get the tiny screw driver that comes with my ratchet set to fit in there without going to the ratchet.
The upper left is a peg. This might have caused me the most difficulty because I couldn't see it due to the glove compartment paneling and is what led me to your video. Mad Props on that "head on" view you got with the camera.
Thanks klowny1969! Great video and right on point. Thanks for helping out a fellow Impala bro~
Just changed mine on my 2012. Not hard job to do but pain in a.. to get light up in there and get one hand in. BUT SAVED LOTS OF MONEY!🤑 GREAT VIDEO YOU MADE!

OMG thanks for this video cause I'm a Lyft driver and just had Passengers and one had to sit in the front and cold air was blowing from the defroster and I felt so 😓😓!!! So my boyfriend better get ready to fix this for me 😀
Thanks for the video help!!!
Not a fun job but with your help and a little contortion I swapped the part out without a hitch
Glad I was able to help..thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe
2008 impala makes hvac clicking sound but its not the two located behind the glove box. Is there a third one located near the center of the dash?
Nice video Manny and pretty amazing that you were able to get a good camera view of the motor. Keep up the good work...
Thanks for stopping by Terry! It was a little difficult to setup the camera, but I was glad I took it from that angle..
exttremely helpful. not as easy as it looks if you never done it before. but very informative. thanks
Thanks for the helpful and informative video changing the heat blender actuator.
U got it..dont forget to susbscribe
There's no heat on the passenger side of my 2012 Impala. Think this could be the reason why I'm getting cold air? I saw two actuators there towards the end of video which of the two should I replace? Oh and btw my car is not making any noise like yours should I still replace it?
This Video still helping people thank you!
Thanks and don't forget to subscribe
Changed mine today. Not very friendly to large hands but got it done. Thanks for your insight!
Thanks for watching
I feel your pain I too have large hands and let me tell you the drivers side is a pain in the ass bro!!!!
It turned out to be the blend door, the one that's furthest back and close to the door. It was a BITCH with limited space to work with but I conquered it thanks to your video! The part was $35 at the auto parts store but had I ordered it from Amazon it was $18. But hell I saved from not taking it to the dealership!
I Love this Channel....I bring all my raggedy ass cars to Klownys channel...he keeps it plain and simple 💯👌🏽
Thanks man
Thank you, very informative and exactly the problem/solution I needed.
I would like to say thank u for showing me how easy it is to do this repair.

do you know what screw fits to keep the glove box on the actual dashboard? one of my screws flew out for some reason, probably falling inside the glovebox assembly which i can't reach, and the whole box falls open every time i release the latch to open it
Thank God for this video. I just had to fix the one in my car. This saved me 150 dollars
Glad I was able to help..dont forget to subscribe
thanks for the video man
help me a lot
This is the easiest one to replace. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the tutorial. I have an 04 Pontiac Grand Prix with the same issue and its exactly in the same place. Ticking noise is driving me crazy!
Awesome..good luck with the replacement..dont forget to subscribe :)
On this Actuator I was looking at it and found I was able to open it up very carefully popping the tabs around it and and using 2 real small flat screwdriver's tp pry it open. after I open it I remove the motor that was real easy and saw there was nothing wrong with it. I hook up a 9v battery to check the motor and it was fine. The only thing I saw was the gears needed greased so I lube the sprockets and gave it a real good greasing and put it back together and it has been working great for over a year now no more clicking
Nice video, nice work!! I have an '08 with 150k miles, and my actuators seem to be failing daily, first it was blend door, then the passenger heat, now the rear driver side door lock actuator! Damn plastic cars... Thanks for the guidance... :)
jeevespreston yes that happens..thanks for watching and commenting
when I change mine I just stuck the new actuator white shaft and turn until the screw holes lined up. everything seemed to work fine
Ok this was such a pain in the ass to do even after watching how easy you made it look. It's hard to reach your hands in there to do anything. Thank you though. Very good video.
For anyone going to to this, prepare for a very frustrating fix, trying to position yourself the right way to be able to get to the actuator and trying to get your hands to the part. It's possible, but damn it's a hassle.

Saved me $150. Subbed! You’re a real one
Captain Obvious thank u sir
Yeah, that motor was fun to replace.... my hand was too big to just drop the glove box door down like that and get to the bolts so I had to remove the hinge pins instead and pull the whole door off. Using a titan brand quarter inch ratchet and a 5.5mm socket it took like 10 minutes to replace.
hi! was wondering if u could post a video of replacing the mode actuator. Also, if i dont have dual climate controls in my impala is there still an actuator located on my drivers side or is that only with impalas with dual climate control?
Nice video, will do my own tomorrow when the part arrived from Amazon. Note: You can completely remove the glove box (just a couple of screws) and it is much easier to see what you are doing.
Thanks none ya..domt forget to subscribe
I’m trying to do that now but don’t know what kind of tool to use on it. There is no Phillips or flathead groove, nor is there any sides to put a socket on it. It just has grooves all around it like a gear and is too tight to turn by hand.
How exactly do you remove the three pins that are keeping it attached?
I'm a little confused about turning the hole to get it lined up the same as the old one, doesn't moving the heat control on dash mess thngs up? Like will it still be set as low and high heat if I move it? Can't I line it up by just hooking it to dc power off a battery?
Thank you !! it was driving my wife CRAZY! SWEET FIXED
Rooster Blues Cigar Box Guitars glad i was able to help
Thanks for the video. You took the guessing of changing mine
Changed out my blend door actuator that was making noise, but I have another issue as well. (been an issue for a couple weeks, didn't happen when I was changing the actuator). All of a sudden, I have nothing blowing out of the front defrost. I took the HVAC mode selector actuator off and the gear shaft that stick out of it moves as I change the venting direction on the dash panel. Could the mode selector be bad even though it turns when taken off? I put a screwdriver in the geared slot to see if I could direct the air to the defrost manually but I had no luck with that as well. As a side note, I heard a thunk in the dash around the time it stopped blowing air to the defrost. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Thank-you saved me BIG BUCKS on this
Wow I am crazy over that noise and you have provided me with some relief , thank you so much ....u r the coolest

Thank you! perfect video! Will recommend you to all with this problem.
Thank you sir

DRaGON188 nice
Great vid! But I’ve got a problem...I plugged in the replacement actuator, and when I adjusted the temp the actuator began spinning and didn’t stop. It just kept going in the same direction regardless of my adjusting the temp. I’m guessing this is what broke the original actuator. Any suggestions? Or am I missing something?
