MauFerrusca 0 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi. Does anyone have a guide or video on how to replace the A/C vent actuator? After removing the glovebox, I could clearly see the broken part that produces the clicking noise when activiating recirculation. I'd like to know if it's feasible to change it without removing huge chunks of the dashboard, cause I'd be willing to, but I haven't found videos or guides to follow. Thanks in advance.

PetesSpark 0 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I have the same issue as you. I removed the blend door actuator by removing the left speaker and worming my hand down to the motor. That isn't my problem though. The actuator actually connects to a white plastic shaft/bushing that connects the actuator to the black plastic air blend door, that shaft is broken and I'm having problems finding that part. My dealer parts dept doesn't know what I'm talking about and can't find it on any parts schematic, nor can I with online dealer parts schematics, it isn't a listed part. It didn't come with the new actuator I ordered, now I've ordered a replacement blend door and hopefully it'll be included there. Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Dockrey 97 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I was doing a search to see what I could find and come across this. Its for a 2015 but the parts between the 13, 14 and 15's should be the same. i was thinking maybe part 14 might be what you are looking for. Or maybe some of the other parts look like what you are looking for. https://www.gmpartsmog.com/a/Chevrolet_2015_Spark/48626055__6221376/AIR-CONDITIONER--HEATER-EVAPORATOR--HEATER-COMPONENTS/CW13075.html Link to post Share on other sites
PetesSpark 0 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Thanks Ray, but part 14 isn't the correct part. What I need is a white plastic shaft about 3/8" thick by about 2 inches long, which connects the actuator motor part number 13 to the valve (door) part number 16, I've purchased both 13 and 16 as well as all of part number 1, the entire HVAC case, that white shaft is not included with any of the surrounding parts nor identified on the schematic. I've now been to 2 different parts departments at Chevy dealers and both have shaken their heads and said "have a nice day". Just got off a GM direct chat line to Customer Service and was told the vehicle needs to be diagnosed by a GM service department before anything can be done to contact anyone above the dealer level. Then while I was typing a response, the chat person stated we haven't heard from you so we're disconnecting the chat session. I'm pissed and left with no help. Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Dockrey 97 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 i wonder if it would be possible to have one 3D printed. Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby MSME 100 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) If you can remove that little white plastic shaft, take it to a small machine shop, and they should be able to duplicate it for you. It is not necessary that exact same material be used to produce a replacement part. For such a small part, weight is not an issue so even a metal part would be OK.

Ray Dockrey 97 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) i wonder if you were sold the wrong actuator. Some of the ones I find online have that white plastic piece sticking out of it. This shows to fit from Rock Auto. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7619668&cc=3308760&jsn=8 Edited December 6, 2019 by Ray Dockrey Link to post Share on other sites
Miguel 0 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Anyone know where I can find the blend door actuator on my 2015 Chevrolet Spark 1LT. The piece is faulty. It stops throwing cold air and if I disconnect my car battery for 5 minutes, it then resets and starts to throw cold air again. I have to do this every few days. The thing is, I have no idea where the actuator is. And I don’t know which one it could be since most cars have 3 or 4 of them. Google is no help. If anyone is knowledgeable in this. Please let me know. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
