Ok so I have a question I have a Toyota Corollas 2012 and everytime I click the ac button the light turns on and if I hold it the air comes cool but when I let go the light turns on and the ac does not work if anyone knows🙏🙏
If your Corolla’s selector knob is stuck at defog or defog+feet, probably the little vent door has glued itself shut where glue has flowed around foam rubber seals. Normally the door is opened and shut by the “slave” white plastic pulley and it’s a little difficult to access. But in hot weather, the glue flows and gobs the door shut. I used armour all and it hasn’t stuck since
Could you describe this in more detail, please? Where is the vent door? I'm thinking maybe this happened, which subsequently broke the selector knob, but I can't be sure. It's been too long ago. But WD40...got it.
@@LadyhawksLairDotCom Weird - I posted a reply and it disappeared. The door is called the HVAC blend door. See this video: m.ruclips.net/video/mQSZI4QR5Uk/видео.html At 5min 55 sec in the video you can see the round white plastic actuator through the hole for the glove compartment. The actuator sits at the end of the selector knob cable, and it rotates the blend door open or shut. The blend door is towards the driver from the actuator, and a bit towards the rear, and is rear facing. (It might be the yellowish plastic blob to the left of the actuator, I forget.) It’s hard to see and harder to access, and that metal bar to the left of the actuator will get in the way of your hand. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Thank you sir. Just finished putting everything back together, much easier than I expected. For anyone else having a hard time just stop and start from the beginning again. Follow each step as per this video and you’ll be able to fix this issue.
everything works but the temperature control knob on the right....It lights up when I push the AC and I get AC but the knob itself was pushed inside the dash when I got into an accident. I can pull the knob out but it doesn't stay that way and continues to push inward. How can I fix this?
Doing this as we speak. The gear won't turn. Before I could get the floor and front vents. I tried to help rotate the white gear, now its stuck and won't turn. I'm still trying to figure this out
What did you end up doing to fix it? My son has a 2009 Corolla and his won't turn to face-only, he can only use feet or defrost for his AC. I have no idea what I'm doing and trying to help him with this.
@nikkisjoblom6731 to be honest, I didn't do anything yet. Lol. I'm just going to take it in. Plus even if I get the part, I can't even get in far enough to replace anything
I looked at your video again as I have just bought the part. Toyota #55906-26060. Your video gives a better look at where the other part of the mode control assembly attaches to the damper. Hopefully by just removing the floor vent will allow better access to that end. It looks like 1 screw holding it in place
I've repaired mine 3 times now. The problem is the 2 damper cables are binding up in the sleeve therefore requiring the entire cable replacement which has a rotating knob on each end, 1 at the dash controller and 1 at the blower or damper
@@Csch90 Im in the situation where you can only leave it in one of the multi damper positions and when you turn the knob the wire comes off of the track inside the back of the knob
@@Csch90 i did check the wires. But they seem kind of bent . I bought all the part new. What do you think could be if the new cable seems tense again ?
As someone who has just popped in the brass part at least 5 times now your better off going to the dealership and ordering a replacement cable assembly. Once there wire get lose its only a matter of time before it pops out again. It was 30 bucks get the replacement spent 4 years dealing with this bullshit. I wish I saved myself myself trouble
Is it difficult to replace that whole wire? Looks like its gonna be a pain to get a screw driver in there. My wire looks messed up. I probably need a new one.
Everyone was telling me it was the switch, so I ordered a new knob/switch unit, and took the dash apart yesterday, and I did notice that that wire was detached and floating. That brass piece was just floating around outside the slot. I replaced the knob and that didn't do the trick. So it really is that wire. I'll get back into it and see if I can fix it again.
My daughter has a 2011 Corolla, and that knob isn't working. It's not longer clicking into place at each vent option --- it just slides without any clicking into the slot, or any tension at all. And it's stuck on the foot vent --- you can't switch to the windshield vent, or the front dash vent. I was told that it was the HVAC switch, and that you have to replace the switch. As that the part you are fixing rather than replacing? The part where you rewound the wire? is that the switch that people are telling me to replace?
Sorry for the late reply, but no I'm only putting the wire back on because it fell off. I was told the same thing but I don't think a lot of mechanics know about this issue
Big help thanks for showing inside glove box
Nobody in you-tube has shown this part on the bottom. Thanks alot man this is what was looking for . keep it up the good work. You gain one subcriber
Itu namanya kabel apa mr

What if the control will move to any setting except defog but no matter what it’s on, it blows heat from the defog/feet?
@@mackkalister3503 Dunno but if you’re getting heat when it should be blowing cool, maybe check the middle (heat) knob, cable and baffles

Hi! good day. can i ask where is the loxation of AC MODULE Or AC AMPLIFIER. Thanks a lot.
Was reattaching that black piece hard to get back on? I know you said you just popped it off? Was it difficult at all to do?
No it was super easy
Does anyone knows hot to change the small bulbs in it thank you 🙏
Thankyou man you helped me 👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks
Doing this as we speak. The gear won't turn. Before I could get the floor and front vents. I tried to help rotate the white gear, now its stuck and won't turn. I'm still trying to figure this out

I did all that and mine was good but from glove department it’s different in my Toyota idk that sucks mine doesn’t switch to defrost

You should make a video on how to replace all of that, sounds like you know more than I do lol
@@Csch90 Maybe one day. Im trying to confirm the part number on the cable just to get it replaced.
@@Csch90 Im in the situation where you can only leave it in one of the multi damper positions and when you turn the knob the wire comes off of the track inside the back of the knob
@@Csch90 I cant complain. Its a 09 Corolla with 190k miles on it
@@johngrowney1521 same happened to me on a Scion xd 08. Any luck getting the part # or replacing the hole thing?
How would you change the climate control cable (the other cable seen under the directional gears you showed)?
Pls did you figure out how to change the climate control cable. It will really be helpful to me thanks
Thank you. I fixed my scion. But its kind of hard to twist the knob. Any idea why it may be ?
Maybe too much tension on the wire, did you make sure to have everything in the correct position before putting the wire on?
@@Csch90 i did check the wires. But they seem kind of bent . I bought all the part new. What do you think could be if the new cable seems tense again ?

I agree, after this video it lasted me about a year before popping out again
@@Csch90 lmao I haven't no idea wtf I tried to say. I should have proof read this hahahaha
@@Csch90 nvm found the typo! And fixed lol
Thanks. I'll try that.
Carl, How did you remove the panels to get to the controls?
You start by taking off the two silver pieces on the sides, there may be a video on how to do it
Is it difficult to replace that whole wire? Looks like its gonna be a pain to get a screw driver in there. My wire looks messed up. I probably need a new one.

How do you know if it's the actuator?
Thank you so much! very good video
Perfect. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!!
Life saver thank you for video
Great video. I had so much extra slack and never thought about the other end of the wire. Now I have try to get the wire back on, yuck
Which direction do you wind the cable toward the brass fitting?
After it's fixed and its night time are all the controls supposed to be lighting up. Plz advize
I feel bad lol, I never got any notifications that people commented... Yes it should be lit at night
Messed up on the counterclockwise lol, my bad
