Great video, it worked for me like a charm. So far no more annoying clicking noise. There was mention to be careful when prying the tabs on the sides or they break off, may I offer a suggestion. Take any can and cut a half dozen strips, 1/4" wide about an inch long. Then carefully pry each tab and insert the tab from the top side of the control. This keeps the tab from re closing as you move around the control. When all tabs are in, a small screwdriver will pry the two halves apart as there are no plastic claws holding the two halves together. I got the whole thing apart with no broken tabs.

Thank you sir. I should have seen this video b4 buying a used one on eBay for $30 that is actually not working either. It turned out that the contacts are dirty. I cleaned both the bay and my original one and now they both work. I actually broke the locking clip on the largest white gear one one of them on my first try , so I'm glad I had the ebay one as a spare. I heated the white gear locking clip with heat gun to make it softer when prying it so it won't break. I didn't have dielectric grease but there was a blob inside the casing and I just applied it to the part where the pins make contact Thanks again

Fixed it with your help! Saved $200-400 for the price of DE grease and a couple hours. BIG THANKS!! From a gear head gal

Great video! I have been wondering for years which actuator was bad on my wife's MDX. Curiously, the dealership never diagnosed it. By the way, that build up on the contacts is not corrosion, but rather electroplating- the transfer of metallic molecules from physical contact while being electrically charged. Again, this was a lifesaver and answered many questions for me!

2006 Odyssey making the noises and only able to change from full hot to full cold. The problem part was on the driver side and a little bit different. This video was the first one I found that involved opening the case and cleaning the parts instead of just replacing the whole part. Fantastic! Spent $10 on some dielectric lubricant and fixed my issues with some labor. One other add, as pooped off some dash panels I came across the cabin temp sensor, I removed this from the panel and quickly realized it was clogged with dust bunnies. A quick blast from the air compressor on low 40-50 psi cleaned the sensor out. Overall this video is a winner!

Cleaned those and put some new grease on, clicking sound gone. Good luck!

Excellent video as always. Your easy to understand explanation made it real understandable.
