How to remove a blend actuator in a 1999 corvette

1. Locate the blend door actuator. The actuator is located behind the dashboard, usually on the passenger side. It is a small, rectangular motor with a wiring harness and a linkage arm.
2. Disconnect the battery. Before beginning any work on the electrical system, disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical shorts or other accidents.
3. Remove the dashboard panel. In order to access the blend door actuator, the dashboard panel may need to be removed. Consult the vehicle's repair manual for specific instructions on how to remove the panel.
4. Remove the old blend door actuator. Disconnect the wiring harness and the linkage arm from the old blend door actuator. Remove any mounting screws or bolts that secure the actuator to the dashboard.
5. Install the new blend door actuator. Install the new blend door actuator in the same location as the old actuator. Secure the actuator with any mounting screws or bolts. Connect the wiring harness and the linkage arm to the new actuator.

You have to just about pull the whole dash out !


Removal Procedure

1. Remove the front floor kick-up panel. Refer to Kick-Up Panel Replacement - Front Floor in Interior Trim.



2. Remove the cover from the I/P electrical center.



3. Remove the HVAC CON (HVAC controls) MiniFuse?® #27 from the I/P electrical center.

5. Remove the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to steering column bracket retaining screws.



6. Reposition the IPC to better access the LH temperature valve electric actuator.

Is yours manual or automatic HVAC system ? if you haven't done this before I suggest you take it to someone who has !

Sounds like the blend door actuator. It separates the driver and passenger side from getting air on the AZC system. Here are some instructions on replacing it:
The passenger side blend door actuator is used on all models equipped with Automatic Zone Control (AZC). This actuator is located on the front of the HVAC housing to the right of the floor panel transmission tunnel and cannot be removed from the passenger compartment without instrument panel or HVAC housing removal.

NOTE: This procedure is for AZC Systems (Passenger side only).

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the glove box door. See: Body and Frame\Interior Moulding / Trim
3. Remove the lower I/P glove box door surround panel.
4. Remove the dash assembly. See: Body and Frame\Interior Moulding / Trim\Dashboard / Instrument Panel\Service and Repair\Instrument Panel Assembly
5. Remove the HVAC assembly. See: Housing Assembly HVAC\Service and Repair
6. Unplug the wire harness connector from the blend door actuator.
7. Remove the 2 screws that secure the blend door actuator to the HVAC housing.
8. Remove the blend door actuator from the HVAC housing.

INSTALLATION - AZC (Passenger side only)

1. In stall the blend door actuator on the HVAC housing and tighten the two mounting screws to 2.2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).
2. Plug in the wire harness connector to the blend door actuator.
3. In stall the HVAC unit into the vehicle. See: Housing Assembly HVAC\Service and Repair
4. Install the instrument panel assembly into the vehicle. See: Body and Frame\Interior Moulding / Trim\Dashboard / Instrument Panel\Service and Repair\Instrument Panel Assembly
5. Evacuate the HVAC system.
6. Recharge the HVAC system.
7. Connect and the battery negative cable.

Hope it helps! If you need more, just send me an email at familyguy77351 at yah I wil be glad to finish helping you with more detail.

y9ou can gain access to the driver side blend door actuator by removing the glove box. The actuator will be in the left corner of the glove box opening. If you remove the actuator you will be able to turn the pin. If you can turn it 360 degrees the blend door is broke.

If your lucky its only the drivers side. If you get the repair kit from chrysler it will come with instructions with pictures on how to replace the blend door without pulling the HVAC unit/Dash. If the passenger side is broken the HVAC unit will need to be removed.

Heater treater (google them) also have a metal blend door replacement and instructions online on how to replace them without pulling the HVAC housing.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

check the front blend door actuator if it is working.The actuator may be working but the blend door is broken stuck.remove the dash console panel [ac heater panel and radio] you can see the door actuator.remove the 3 screws and pullout the actuator using flat screwdriver try to rotate the door

very lenghty process. too long to describe here....go to Bonneville Forums read the text and follow linked there at the bottom....very good and detailed....I'm doing that right now,,,,it is a bugger,

The temp blend door, or blend door actuator may be faulty. You can check this by watching the movement of the blend door actuator while you turn the temp selector knob. If the actuator is working, then it may be the blend door, or blend door lever broken. If these are ok then the control head may be faulty.

IT is the actuator, it comes with the cable, you are suppose to remove the inner fender well to do this job, you can sqeeze your hand, but it is not easy.
