AC Blend Door Motor
Hi fellow acurziners, my 05 TL navi recently experiences an AC/Heat problem.
Doesn’t really matter if I turn on the dual temp setting or not, the passenger side only blows cold air regardless the temp even I turn it up to 85F. The driver side works ok both hot and cold but the cold air is not as strong as the passenger side.
I used the search function and found some info kind of related to this issue. Many people mentioned the AC refrigerant could be low but I just drained and filled the refrigerant over the summer. My mechanic even fixed the AC port so I don’t think it leaks.
I suspect this could be a blend door or actuator problem since the blend door controls the ac/heat and which side gets cold/hot. I may be wrong and that’s why I am here to seek for help.
If it’s the actuator, what’s the part number and where can I order it? (Part store or OEM) and how to fix it myself? ( any DIY or youtube tutorial – I can’t find any myself)
Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend.

Others have had issues with the heater control valve and cable adjustment more than the air mix control motor-- see https://acurazine.com/forums/problem...orking-910734/ for a pretty good thread with manual pages and photos on the issue.
