I have a dodge 2007 caravan that heater wont work . The first item i noticed before it stopped last year was the sound of the blend door not working when dashheater controll was set to heat setting. Before i did notice a clicking or mechanical sound , then did open and hotter air blew out,but not as of now. I have flushed cooling system, replaced thermostat, and flushed heater core.Mainly to elininate any basic problems before i attempt the actuator module replacement.. Is it similiar to mine?

@ssl668 We currently do not have a video of this repair on your application. The basics on the Explorer video may be similar to your vehicle, but the removal process and location more than likely will be different.

@1aauto thanks for responce. I found problem and it is at actuator spleen/ shaft from inside heater box. It semms to have broke off completly from door mechanism. Today i pryed up flap through actuator hole mount and i do have heat now. Suprisingly, Dodge corporation wont cover this in any "Faulty" engineering and/or defects. When it clearly should have not have any failure with only 4 years of use ,so far.. When dodge vehicles work ,they are good, but when they break ,dont turn to them help.

@ssl668 Glad to hear you found out what the issue was. That's kind of a weird thing to have broken.

I do have a 2001 Lincoln Navigator and my problem is, my heater no getting hot as always, unless I set it on the 90 than get wormer! And the antifreeze level is good. The blower is working is good too! If you have any idea what is the problem please e-mail me myasin78@gmail.com thanks.

@westrnboy You could try to flush the cooling system. They sell a liquid flush at the auto parts store. Walmart usually carries it too, you can also flush the system out with a hose if it's warm outside. This will help to remove particles that could be clogging up the heater core. You may want to chance the thermostat while you're at it. If this doesn't work it could be a faulty blend door. Hope this helps you out.

Okay very helpful to know just in case I ever have to do it.

@68164Chris When you change the temperature, it may not change to get warmer or cooler.

How can you tell if the actuator motor is the cause or not?
