What is the 2000 Dodge Dakota blend door actuator location?

On Your 2000 Dodge Dakota, You'll find the blend door actuator located behind the stylized dash panel on the passenger's side, underneath the glove box. The easiest way to troubleshoot whether this is failing, is to remove the panel and then watch the suspected actuator when You switch temperature modes, and see if the gears are functioning. Replacing is pretty straight-forward: Disconnect the battery, remove the instrument panel, unscrew the three screws You'll see that are holding the door actuator to the top of the HVAC housing, and then disconnect the wires to it from the wiring harness; at this point the part should just drop down into Your hand. Now, just do the reverse to install the new one. If You decide to pay someone else to do this instead, You'll be looking at about $300 in labor, in addition to the cost of the actuator itself, which can run from $250 up through $350, depending on where You source it from.
