• Q: How to Safely Service a Blend Door Actuator on 2008 Dodge Dakota?

  A: To fix the blend door actuator, you have to turn the air bag system off by disconnecting and isolating the battery negative cable and after two minutes, the air bag system capacitor will be discharged. Such precaution is important since unintended air bag deployment can result in injury or loss of life. Make sure the front face of the instrument panel doesn't get damaged during the work. The first step is to remove the negative cable from the battery. After that, take out the instrument panel. Afterward, take out the three screws holding the blend door actuator to the top of the HVAC housing. Remove the wire harness connector from the blend door actuator and finally take the actuator out of the HVAC housing.
