Hey folks, 2012 Dodge not-so-Grand Caravan owner here ringing in! Save yourselves the pain and the hassle, spend the extra 4k-5k and get yourself a Toyota Sienna! Dodge may be an American brand, but there's nothing American about it as you can tell from the video, my van is made in Canada! And it is a piece of absolute crap. You ready for this? : Toyota Sienna, made where you ask? INDIANA! At the TMMI Toyota plant, hiring who? Americans! American made Toyota quality and service. I will never buy a Chrysler product ever again in my life!

I just heard the comment about the older you get the more you hate getting under dashes. I'll be honest with you it would take me so long to get out of there I would have to bill for that time! It might take me an hour to get the part out to just because of the arthritis in my hands. I figure I could turn a two-hour job and see you at least seven or eight. I can make a living just working on that Chrysler

To make your Dorman comments better, when I replaced the rear evaporator on my 2008 Caravan in 2017, I replaced the blend door actuators because they were worn. That tells me the stock actuators lasted about 9 years. These were replaced with the Dorman ones. Well, I just replaced the Dorman temp actuator after only ALMOST 2 years because it was clicking like in this video. Dorman is CRAP!

1: 30 in and you already helped me solve a problem. I didn't know I could access the hvac actuator from under the dash, a few hits of the screwdriver and I now know it is the actuator that was bad on my 2016 grand caravan. I'll be watching to rest of the video now. Thanks for your help so far!

Man I just did this job today and the front is still blowing hot. I guess I didnt put it in right. I heard you say something about twisting it to fit, but it fit, oh well. But you got in and out pretty quick, it took me an hr alone on the bottom screw and I had to cut some plastic away.

Great video Eric. Obviously, Dodge Chrysler has installed a multitude of defective blend door actuators. In your opinion, what is the best brand to replace the original and which brand to stay away from? As for the bacon. I need one of those new scratch and sniff monitors.

Did a search for 2014 dodge grand caravan replace heat actuator and I wasn't disappointed! Did the tap with the screwdriver on the passenger side of my van. And what do you know, it now blows cold air! I'll be ordering the actuator tomorrow; ) Thanks SMA!

Amazing! I had the always hot on the passenger side problem, and the highly technical procedure of hitting it with a screw driver fixed it! Your effort here, good sir, deserves a reward so I bought a shirt! Thanks for the video!

Great work man. Love your videos. On Friday nights we make some popcorn and sit around the computer and learn car repair watching you. LOL. Anyway. You have any idea why three of these would go at about the same time? Weird.

How many heater cores does a 2008 dodge caravan have, and how can I tell which needs replacing? My van over heats after significant coolant loss on the ground in the front of van, over a periods of a couple weeks.
