Mode Door Actuator: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
  1. Position the mode actuator onto the heater/AC housing. If necessary, rotate the actuator slightly to align the splines on the actuator output shaft with those in the mode cam.
    NOTE: Be sure that the mode door links are positioned in the cam.
  2. Install and tighten the two screws that secure the mode door actuator to the distribution housing. Tighten the screws to 2 N.m (17 in. lbs.).
  3. Reconnect the HVAC wire harness connector for the mode door actuator to the actuator connector receptacle.
  4. Reinstall the silencer under the driver side end of the instrument panel.
  5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
  6. Perform the heater-A/C control calibration procedure. .
