Dorman 604-108 HVAC Blend Door Actuator Compatible with Select Models

This is just what I was looking for the replace the factory actuators in my 2010 Chevy Impala. I am glad that I found this part on here for such a good price because the dealership wanted to charge me hundreds for something that only took me 10 mins to do myself. If your Impala is making that loud clicking noise every time you get in the car or turn on the a/c or heat this is the part you need to fix this issue. All you have to do is go to youtube and look up how to change it and it is very simple. I actually had to buy 2 because I fixed the passenger side and then the driver side went bad. Now I can actually drive my car without having to worry about that annoying clicking sound. Also, just to make it easier for you there are 3 pins at the bottom of the glove compartment that you can remove and the glove box comes right off. I didn't see this before in the video and I had to learn the hard way. I just used a small allen key to push out the pins. You will also need a 5.5mm socket with an extension to take the 2 bolts off the actuator and a flat head screwdriver to pop off the wiring harness.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Installed in a 2008 Chevy Impala. The clicking stopped and the door opens and closes correctly. Found a You Tube video on the install. Was fairly easy.

Direct replacement for my 2012 Chevy Impala. Comes with instructions and diagrams. Installation will probably never be easy for the driver side, but if you can manage to get the old out and the new in, it works perfectly as intended, and the annoying clicking from within the dash stops, I'm satisfied, and recommend this brand.

Watch a few of the You Tube videos first to help you isolate the defective actuator, assemble the required/suggested tools and follow the removal/install/calibration instructions included with the Dorman product. My removal/replacement took about 2 1/2 hours. About 2 hours to remove and a half hour to install/calibrate the new actuator and reinstall the glove box. A large portion of the 2 hour removal time was for figuring out which tools/body contortions were needed for me personally as access is, as others have noted, very tight. The wiring harness does have a black positioning clip located at the lower edge of the glove box opening that can be easily popped out to give you slightly better access. The part fit perfectly on the 2012 Impala LT and the DIY saved me about $400+.

The first Dorman Air Door Actuator I received lasted for 2 weeks before it just stopped working. I got a replacement, which was sent quickly. The replacement one has lasted for over a month and is still going strong. These actuators work well, so long as the one you receive is not defective.

This is the exact part I needed. I highly recommend looking up Klowny1969 if you are looking for a guide on how to use this part. Important note: calibrating this item can be difficult! Watch all three of Klowny1969's videos on this part to understand easy ways to do it.

Worked great as a replacement for the actuator that went out on my wife's 2007 Chevrolet Impala LTZ. Save some money and do this one yourself! Lots of videos online on how to troubleshoot which actuator is bad and how to replace.

Click-Click-Click. It was a problem from day one. The only reason I did not return it, is because it kind of worked, and the location is in an annoying tight space. Also, I was too busy at the time to do this all over again. Even though the granularity was off, it was OK, because either I have it all the way cold or all the way hot. Now, during the heat of the summer, it seems to have gotten worse, and just clicks until the car's computer gives up after a minute or so. Annoying. Now that I have replaced it with an OEM, the climate controls are finally working as designed again, including all the granularity. No more clicks, no more noisy motor, and perfect granularity of the temperature leaver compared to the other side (dual climate controls). I will not buy a Dorman actuator ever again. I opened the cover and looked inside, the gears are not tight and the worm gear is plastic. The OEM, all the gears are tight, and the worm gear is metal. In reality, I deserve a refund, since it never really worked right. But, I will probably never see a refund, because I had it too long.
