  Q: How to Maintain a Blend Door Actuator on Dodge Charger?

  A:

  If you have air bag-equipped cars, you need to remove the negative Battery Cable, wait two minutes and then isolate it to disable the air bag system. A heater-A/C system for one zone uses just one blend actuator, but a system for two zones needs an actuator for each side. To disconnect the driver's side assembly, remove the negative battery cable, take out the instrument panel silencer and unscrew the three bolts holding the blend door actuator to the HVAC air distribution housing. Unplug the HVAC wire harness from the connector and take out the actuator. Install the actuator on the driver side of the HVAC air distribution housing, line up the splines on their output shafts and secure it with screws tightened to 2 N.m (17 in. lbs.). Afterward, reconnect the HVAC wire harness, insert the instrument panel silencer back-in and remember to reinstall the negative battery cable. The passenger side air distribution system includes disconnecting negative battery cable, removing the Glove Box and releasing the three screws that secure the blend door actuator to the housing. Take out the actuator and disconnect its connection to the HVAC wire harness. Install the new actuator onto the passenger side of the air distribution housing, straighten the splines when needed, tighten the holding screws to 2 N.m (17 in. lbs.), reattach the HVAC wire harness, reinstall the glove box and then reconnect the negative battery cable.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Blend Door Actuator in Single or Dual Zone HVAC Systems on Dodge Charger?

  A:

  Start by getting rid of any air bag system risk by releasing the negative Battery Cable to perform service and repairs and then wait for a minute or two until the air bag system is clear. The single zone model uses a single blend door actuator, but the dual zone heater-A/C system uses two, one for each side of the vehicle. If your system has a driver side blend door actuator screw, remove it along with the other screw holding the actuator to the driver side of the HVAC housing. After removing the actuator, pull open the HVAC wire harness connector (2) and slide the actuator out of the vehicle. For the passenger side in a dual zone system, first disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable, remove the Glove Box and then remove the two screws that hold the blend door actuator (4) to the HVAC air distribution housing (3) on that side. After all, lift up the actuator, disconnect the HVAC wire harness and remove the actuator from the car.
