Recirculation Door Actuator Replacing on Dodge And Chrysler?

How to replace Recirculation Door Actuator.

Please Note that this Procedure Covers all U.S. and Canadian models of the Chrysler/Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring Coupe and Dodge Stratus/ Stratus Coupe models for Year 1999 to 2005.

The procedure is as follows:---

CAUTION

On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the instrument panel from the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the HVAC wire harness connector from the recirculation door actuator.

   NOTE

   When removing the actuator, note the position of the actuator shaft and its respective linkage for installation reference.
5. Remove the recirculation door actuator from the HVAC air inlet housing.

To install:

1. Install the recirculation door actuator onto the HVAC air inlet housing. If necessary, rotate the actuator slightly to align the splines on the actuator output shaft with those on the actuator gear.
