Heater door actuator

tahi · 08-24-2008, 02:16 PM

On my 98' Blazer equipped with electronic climate control I have a bad issue with the little electrical motor & system that opens or close the heater door.
The thing is that the door is not moving anymore.
One of the pinion that is inside the box is partially broken(see pict). The metallic axle is rotating inside the pinion.
Going through the websites I usually go to buy my spare parts, I'm unable to find this part (I would like to by the whole gearbox). As I don't leave in the states, it would be great if someone would know a place, a store or a website where I could buy this part.
I really would like to enjoy having a heater again before next winter

But buying used, you never know the use that gear has been though.

HI,

I went on eBay and found one, thanks for the link and the part identification (I was not aware that the number on my part was fer sure a GM ref).
As only one pinion has a crack, I'll replace the one cracked on mine when I receive the new part.

I had the same problem with mine. I got it at the dealer.

P.S. Send me a set of those wheel flares.

When I looked up the info, it seems it is a common problem with this part, and it was used on a lot of diffent GM vehicles. Someone said there was a Service Bulletin about it, but I couldn't find it.
