- OE-quality component from BEHR for reliable integration with existing HVAC systems.
- Commonly referenced by part numbers EAM501, 951508Ua14, 6447QN — often used when searching for replacement units.
Installation And Replacement
Replacement is typically performed from behind the dashboard or through the glovebox area depending on the specific vehicle. General steps:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery or follow safe electrical isolation procedures.
- Gain access to the HVAC housing (remove glovebox or lower dash panels as required).
- Locate and remove the faulty actuator, unplug the electrical connector and detach any control linkages.
- Install the new actuator, reconnect linkages and electrical connector, then test HVAC functions before reassembling the dash.
If you are unsure about access in a particular model, consult a vehicle-specific repair manual or a professional technician. Always verify the part number against the vehicle VIN for exact fitment.
Failure Symptoms And Common Causes
- Intermittent or no response when changing temperature or airflow direction.
- Clicking or grinding noises from the dash area indicating worn internal gears or motor issues.
- Inaccurate temperature regulation or stuck flaps leading to hot or cold spots in the cabin.
Common causes include mechanical wear, contaminated or seized linkages, moisture ingress, or electrical faults in the actuator motor or connector. Regular inspection during HVAC service can help detect early signs of wear.
