If I change temperature from hot to cold back and forth several times I can get to cool. It used to make a squeaky scraping noise when I put the key to on but makes no noise when it gets stuck. I can't seem to find the location of the motor on this vehicle. Thanks, Max

Hi,

On this vehicle, there will be two, one for the driver and one for the passenger side. If you look at pic 1 below, it shows their locations.

The remaining pics are the directions for replacing both of them. Additionally, here is a link that explains in general how it is done. Once the actuators are located, I find it easier to follow. LOL

Take a look at the pics below and let me know if they help or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

That looks correct. I copied your pic and circled what I believe to be the actuator.

Let me know.
