My blend door actuator was clicking, so I guess it was failing. I replaced it with this actuator, and no more clicking and the recirculationfunctions works great. 20 minute job with the right tools.

This one looks just like the OEM one that was installed at the factory, but with different manufacturers. At 1/10th the price MOPAR wanted for the part. Besure for a 2005 Jeep GC circulation door application the gear on this Actuator the flat side is up and down or at like a 90 degree angle if you hold like if you were installing with two screws level at bottom. I purchased one from another company and the gear in home position was not in right spot and it took me hours to figure out! This one went right into place.

These actuators are by far the most durable and reliable replacement actuators available.Replacement takes minutes and they work flawlessly. I've had several other cheaper units fail within days of installation and since switching to these months ago I've had no problems at all.Spend the extra few dollars and buy these instead of the cheaper ones.

Not sure if this will last forever, but neither did the original part.The malfunctioning actuator that I removed from my car's recirculation door was also this Dorman replacement part and appears to have been manufactured in 2017. The actuator has a code engraved on the housing that I believe indicates the manufacturing date.So, mine has been replaced at least once prior to my buying the car, and that Dorman actuator appears to have lasted approximately 5-6 years.Given that Mopar is asking $110 for this actuator, I'd say this is a great value. And if it only lasts another 5-6 years I'm OK with that.

Several years ago, I disassembled my HVAC control system in my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo to replace the burned out light bulbs (check out You Tube for a video with part numbers if you have the same problem). When I reassembled everything back, my blend-door motor would make the dreaded TAPPING noise whenever I changed any of the HVAC controls to something else. It would eventually work, but it would spend the first 30 seconds making that noise...(If you're looking at this item, you most likely know the noise). Unfortunately, when the tapping eventually failed one day to make it's self known, there was no heat in the Jeep (in January). Fortunately, when I removed the motor, I inspected the blend door and it was fine. Upon inspection of the blend door motor, it had several gears inside that were missing teeth! I figured that the motor was out of sync with the blend door and the noise was the gears skipping teeth and eventually, they just broke! I wasn't going to replace this motor and have this happen all over again, so after some research, I found that there was a calibration routine that you need to perform when you disassemble the HVAC system.So, after replacing the bad motor with this new one (direct fit), you turn the blower motor off make sure the key is off.Then turn the key on (you can start the engine if you like, but the ignition needs to be on). Then hold down the rear window defogger button and while holding it down, turn the blower motor on. You will notice that several lights on the HVAC will flicker, you will hear damper doors open and close inside the dash and after about 90 seconds of this behind the scenes magic, the calibration will be complete and that dreaded tapping noise will be gone! If only I had known about this years earlier!

I ordered this to replace the door blend actuator in my Jeep Grand Cherokee as a gear in the original was broken. After removing the old one and swapping in this new actuator nothing happened. It just did not work.I ended up opening both actuators and just salvaging the gears in this new one and putting them in the old one. This fix seems to have worked for me.However, upon opening up the new actuator it seemed that the reason it didn’t work is because the motor was not receiving any power.So while I did end up fixing my problem, it’s because I just salvaged the parts of this new actuator that did not work straight out of the box.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was having the dreaded click click click when the HVAC controls were used. (Sounded like a card in the bicycle spokes) Apparently there are 4 of these on my Jeep. I found by searching and listening that 2 of mine were the culprits of my noise. I replace the 2 that were on the passenger side of the car. First one was pretty easy (The one by the fan motor) The second was a pretty hard job as it requires taking out the center console, radio, HVAC control cover, and removing most of the dash screws all the way over to the steering wheel. The second actuator is behind the ducting that feeds the passenger side footwell. The duct is held on with a screw and just pulls down and out. Then you can access the actuator. I used a small, flat, angle screw driver- ratchet that made the job easier within the tight spaces. Also you will need some plastic trim removal tools to help remove panels so you don't damage anything. Be careful when removing the glove box. Make sure you unplug the light harness before pulling the box out. (I didn't and got to learn how to reassemble the switch which wasn't fun.) This took me about 3 hours, but is doable if you take your time and pay attention. If something doesn't come apart you are probably missing a screw that is still secured. No more loud clicking noises and I saved a ton of money doing it myself.
