08 sebring blend door actuator
Hello! So my wife's 2008 Sebring seams to have a blend door actuator issue. For a while now there was a clicking sound coming from the AC/heater box, and now the clicking is gone, but now she can no longer get cold air from the system. AC compressor works and the line going into the car is cold. Upon removing the glove box I can see 2 identical actuators, 1 on the left side of the glove box, and another on the right. Which one would be for the blend door?
Thank you so much for your time!
Randy.

Not sure about your model, but try this: Turn the system on and observe those two actuators as you cycle through different modes. One will change position as you switch from defrost to floor vents to panel vents. That actuator is the "mode door". One door may change position as you switch between "recirc" (could be called Max A/C or similar) and outside air. The "blend door" controls the mix of warm and cool air. It may be in a different location. If both doors which you can see move when you are switching modes, then look elsewhere for the blend door. If one of them does not move while changing modes, it's probably the blend door.

The blend door actuator in on the left, the recirc door actuator is on the right. One point to note, be certain the replacement actuator will seat fully on the screw points. I had an actuator that need a bit of filing to get it to seat properly. It was not OEM so OEM would be a reliable fit.
