Hey guys.......

just picked up a 2004 Impala. The heat on the drivers side blows cool air only but the passenger side is fine.

from what i have gathered by searching it's the actuator that controls the door on the drivers side to allow varying amounts of hot air to come through. Does anyone have a step by step for replacing the actuator? Or a how to with images included?(tried searching here but didn't find much) I'm going to tackle it this weekend before it gets too cold outside.

thanks alot from a new member

so just an update....

i picked up the part from the local GM dealer... it was $46.xx w/ tax (CDN$). Sunday I decided to tackle replacing it... long story short... it started pouring rain and I don't have a garage... so I said screw it and took it to my guy that does work on my sunfire that i'm not able to do.....

anyways... $50 in labour later and its good to go and the wife is happy

hey

whats the part number for the actuator i think im having the same problem with my drivers side heat

i believe the part # is 15249473 (just going by memory here).

if i remember correctly the part was about $45-$50 cdn and my mechanic only charged me $40 to install it. i was going to do it myself but after dinking around with it and the weird angles i decided to pay to have it done LOL!
