I also want to thank you, my 2004 MDX is now working again. Makes me feel good to be able to fix it myself. By the way my dealer wanted $500 for the new part. 👍👍

Crazy

RB ...not just The Mechanic, you my friend are a Rock Star! Someone in another video commented about this video being available. A little looking around and found this along with the video on how to install the blend door actuator. I would have never thought to take it apart, clean, and bend the contacts, but as of right now, my car is fixed. I have heat and a/c. Saved me money and a lot of time. Blessings to you!

Nice glad u found my video!! Good job doing it urself

Well done. Yes the problem usually is poor contact between those pins and the rotating pad on the main gear. By bending the pins up slightly like you did improves the connection. The computer uses those pins to figure out how far the blend door is open. So usually when you start your car the heat is fine but then when you drive and hit bumps those pins lose contact and the computer goes to a default failsafe position - no heat.

Yup u nailed it!! Good tips

I performed this repair using your video as a guide. I gently bent the pins to improve the contact and I also used dielectric grease. I now have heat on the passenger side of my Accord. Thank you!

I have a Acura tsx 2006 I noticed when I use the cold air the driver sides vents which are two vents are not blowing as cold as the passenger sides vents do you know what could it be ? It blows semi cold air on driver side but it feels hot on some days and the passenger side it’s always cool

Does your car have separate temp controls for driver and passenger side? If so, they have a blend door actuator on each side. Try watching the actuator as you change the temp it should move. Repair or replace if it doesnt move

Hi! Question I have an 05 Acura mdx and my front ac is stuck on heat but my middle blows cold air. Do you have any idea what that is and how to fix?

Middle meaning the back of car? Possibility could be blend door actuator stuck on heat side or low Freon. Good this is ac system is running!

@@RBTheMechanic I just got mine apart. Two gears have a broke tooth. Probably when I pushed it by hand to get off defrost. Going to have to find one. None on eBay that I saw when I briefly looked earlier. I wish I could send you a pic of the main gear that moves the lever. I can't see how to get it off to get to the brushes.
