Sorry , I know this forum hates this topic as people “over” post about it. I did search the threads trying to be respectful but I did not find a specific thread about PREVENTION and thought it would be helpful , so here it goes:

1) how many people had the HVAC actuator scanned and recalibrated, and still had a failure? How may of you had it scanned and recalibrated with no problems? How many miles has this worked?

2) how many people did the two clicks from the blue dot and still had a failure? How many used this technique and had no problems? How many miles has this worked for?

3) What other methods have worked for you to avoid the dreaded blend door repair?

The cause from what I have researched is :

1) a weak plastic blend door, they make an aluminum one now which sounds logical

2) the actuator is either a) not calibrated properly from the factory b) the self calibrating computer doesn’t self calibrate properly over time

3) I also heard some people believe the actuator cycles when you turn the car off or on , and they believe this makes the blue dot method and other methods not effective

Anyways, I just got a Camaro and just trying to see what you all have done to prevent the costly repair and any knowledge you may shed on this issue to try to prevent it in the future for all of us.
