The mode door actuator is a reversible, 12-volt
Direct Current (DC), servo motor (Fig. 16). The sin-
gle mode door actuator is located on the driver side
end of the heater-A/C housing unit, close to the top of
the distribution housing. The mode door actuator is
mechanically connected to the mode door. The mode
door actuator is interchangeable with the actuators
for the blend air door(s) and the recirculation air
door. Each actuator is contained within an identical
black molded plastic housing with an integral wire
connector receptacle. Two integral mounting tabs
allow the actuator to be secured with two screws to
the heater-A/C unit housing. Each actuator also has
an identical output shaft with splines that connects
it to the linkage that drives the mode door. The mode
door actuator does not require mechanical indexing
