End all be all actuator replacement thread (clicking sound, part numbers, video install)

Have you tried manually operating the flap, like with a flat head, to determine noise? The rotating pieces of the flap are plastic on plastic so they shouldn't create a grinding noise...

No this is a very loud and interference based plastic grinding noise. I’m stumped on why it is, not what it is.

Hi everyone,

Is it necessary to check these before fitting the Air Distribution/Blend Mode Door Actuator or can we fit it by setting the controls to something specific to get them to align?



There is a video here as well about it here but he only checks 1 position and uses the controls as well so its not quite clear.

Ideally, none are required and I can just move the large gear until the old one fits but I'm not sure if this skipping of gears (clicking) has put the positions out of whack

Thanks
