I did this repair on my 2015 Camaro on 10/06/22 with 68k miles.This video is one of the best on RUclips.If your fat ,take the seat out also use a firm pillow for your back.If your not in a hurry you can epoxy the broken door,wait 24 hours and drill a hole in the center of the end piece and put a 3 to 4 inch screw into it.Stonger than a new door.Happy repair guys and save some big money.
Thanks for the great camera angle, took me a minute to get air duct and module out, and the cut opening you really have to tork out, but should be good to go for another 160k!
My man has literally only posted 1 video on this channel since 2011 & it is super helpful & has over 31k views 😎 Keep 'em coming boss, hell, @ least a follow-up video to let us know how the repair held up or something? What did the finished product look like? Please tell us you sealed up that cut out piece w/ sum hot glue or silicone or something, right? Flex tape maybe, lol!?!
QUESTION: am in the process of doing this repair and have hit a snag. The shaft on the actuator motor won’t align with any position that I can adjust the newly installed blend door. It's just slightly off but enough where I can’t even re-bolt the piece on. I’m thinking I can reset with a 9V battery, but can’t find the pin assignment to test. (GM Part # 92215208/ACDelco Part # 15-74128) Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your videos!
Literal lifesaver, just got a call from a dealer about this and said they would need to remove my windshield to do this🧐 bout to save myself a good 2k+ by not doing that
I don't have the equipment to calibrate it, so I'm just going to make sure nobody turns it to MAX hot or cold. Anything in between and the door doesn't get strained - I tested that.
Great video! My 2013 just started acting up. I have cold coming out from center over to passenger side and hot on driver's side. Do you think this is my problem? Thank you!
Hmm sounds like a bit of a different problem than I had on my 2012. Perhaps the 2013 is designed differently? Or maybe there are two blend doors if it has a more advanced climate control for you and your passenger. I’m not really sure, just a thought.
@@ghoststalker020 I had the day off yesterday I said f it and bought a hot knife and blend door replaced it myself so far so good well see tomorrow if it held up haha and my mechanics was saying it was the actuator so he's trippin
I set the temp to about half way and same with the blend door. I’ll admit it’s probably not perfect but it works. Just try to avoid using max heat or max ac as that torques the door to its limit and it’s what usually caused it to fail in the first place.
@@ghoststalker020 This is what I figured too - you can turn the knob a little past the last "tick" mark, but don't go all the way to the red or blue dots...

Thank You For The Video, I’m Definitely Gonna Try It Myself, The Dealership Talking About 2,500-3,000 For The Job 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Did you end up doing it yourself ??
@@sebastianbreier2417 yes I did and the AC Unit Is Working Perfect
@@sebastianbreier2417 The Most Challenging Part For Me Was Putting The Plastic Cut Out Piece Back In
Lmao why so much
@@mr-hz7jz the labor, the dealer take off the windshield and the dashboard

Great idea on the hot knife you could poke a dotted line and then come back and cut thru
Thanks for the good video, I went straight out to my Camaro and fix it.
For everyone asking if you are having cold air on passenger side and heat on drivers its the blen door mines did the same thing and just changed it
I have same issue except no heat, had thermostat replaced, GM failure in design and fix
Literal lifesaver, just got a call from a dealer about this and said they would need to remove my windshield to do this🧐 bout to save myself a good 2k+ by not doing that
My 2012 has the same issue. I believe the engineers made this a planned failure.
Everything it's planned
Everything is mafia
Ok
I have a 2015 camaro and I have this issue. How much would this cost to replace at a dealership or local auto shop
Some people said around 1k-3k
I use electrical tape to hold the blender up Just a small piece.
I was hoping it was a fuse.
What's the part number , I been searching for it so I can change mine. Thank you
I have to do mine next.
Oh well I guess it’s my turn to go under the dash,ain’t no way I’m paying $1500 at the stealership I’m wondering if it would but better with a drimel
I used a small dremel from harbor freight because their darn hot knife kept burning out ….
Do i have to disconnect the battery for the ECM ??
Do you have to reprogram the car after you disconnect the wire harness or just plug it back in and it’s good
just plug it back in and it's good, worked for me
Where is that white piece come from? With the new blend door?
most of the time they come with a new actuator.
DId you have to calibrate the actuator after? I've heard that calibration is required.
Yes.
I don't have the equipment to calibrate it, so I'm just going to make sure nobody turns it to MAX hot or cold. Anything in between and the door doesn't get strained - I tested that.
Hey don’t know why but I’m having trouble getting it out, I finished my cut, took the screws off but it still won’t come out, any suggestions.
Keep cutting
@@johnburton6418 that’s exactly what I kept doing lol I kinda butcher it 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@juliussmith5866 if I use something hot to cut with, it sometimes seals back up as it cools. Maybe it’s doing that.🤷🏻♂️
I used a n oscillating saw, and the cut doesn't need to be nearly this big. This is how I cut: ibb.co/8KLv5wY
@@originalryan1 interesting....how did you get that cutout piece to stay in place after you replaced the door?
Great video! My 2013 just started acting up. I have cold coming out from center over to passenger side and hot on driver's side.
Do you think this is my problem?
Thank you!
I have a ‘13 camaro with the same exact problem 🤦🏽♀️ hot on my side, cold on the passengers
I have a 2014 the same problem any ideas
Did you find a solution my mechanic said it was thw actuator but I think it's the blend door
Hmm sounds like a bit of a different problem than I had on my 2012. Perhaps the 2013 is designed differently? Or maybe there are two blend doors if it has a more advanced climate control for you and your passenger. I’m not really sure, just a thought.
@@ghoststalker020 I had the day off yesterday I said f it and bought a hot knife and blend door replaced it myself so far so good well see tomorrow if it held up haha and my mechanics was saying it was the actuator so he's trippin
How does it take people 6 hours to do this?
Where did you buy the part
Did you get the blend door actuator to sync with the knob desired setting?
I set the temp to about half way and same with the blend door. I’ll admit it’s probably not perfect but it works. Just try to avoid using max heat or max ac as that torques the door to its limit and it’s what usually caused it to fail in the first place.
so what happened
so those connectors have to be removed and the air duct. what comes out first and what sockets do you need?
The duct piece has to come out.The wire harness can stay in place which the job can be done without taking it out.The screws are 7/32 socket.
How did everything go?
It worked well! I just avoid using max heat or max ac so that I don’t torque the blend door to its extreme.
@@ghoststalker020 This is what I figured too - you can turn the knob a little past the last "tick" mark, but don't go all the way to the red or blue dots...
Why are you recording sideways?
I have to do mine , dealer wanted 2200 to do mine today . Why won’t they do it this way ??? Ridiculous
Dealer quoted me $2,200 today as well. $2,500 if my windshield broke when they removed it.
Time for a hot knife and some silicone lol
Same here but it was 1500 Canadian if windshield breaks 1100 if it doesn't
Anybody in south carolina that can do mines
That hot knife is a piece of junk, just heat it up with a torch, it will get hot faster.
