2015 3.8 Sedan Blend/Temp Door Actuators

[dgossjr]

Hello everyone, first thread for me.
I have only cold to cool air coming out of driver vents/floor, nothing hot. The passenger side blows hot/cold out of any location I choose. I'm guessing an actuator of some type.
Can someone tell me if the driver side has its own actuator, if so where might it be located.
Thank you

Well - same problem here - 2015 3.8 AWD - driver vent spitting out cool air - it does get colder if i decrease temp setting - but will not blow warm/hot air. Passenger side behaves properly. Is there a fuse that would control the damper?

There are several blend door actuators. (I have a similar issue, except it’s no cool air on the driver’s side.) I tried resetting the system by disconnecting the battery. That did not work.

If you need to replace an actuator, you will need to tear down the dash and use the gds to reprogram the modules. Not cheap.

I have a similar issue. You could try disconnecting the battery for a minute and see if the actuators relearn their position. This did not work for me.
This sedan has a number of actuators, but I believe the driver's side one is located adjacent the blower, and you need to remove the dash to get to it. Even if a bad actuator is the issue, I think you need the GDS to reprogram a new actuator so you might have to suck it up and pay the dealership.

There is no programming/calibration needed when replacing those actuators.
