ruderegime Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 whats a door mode actuator????? Thanks chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxySS Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Mine does that too- totally randomly though. It does it when the truck is off. It sounds kinda like an impulse sprinkler head. A series of really slow ticks followed by a series of long ticks. Then it repeats the cycle over. Mine is coming from behind the gauge cluster.

BlackSS04 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 it happens to me randomly as well. if it happened often, then i would definetly get it checked out, i can see how it could get on your nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrtbeat1 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I get it sometimes too. I thought it was something with the A/C. I found that I can make it stop by adjusting the temp a little warmer. Haven't really looked into it 'cos its not always ticking. I hate troubleshooting an intermittent problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdriveGTP Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 door mode actuator is a little motor that switches vent door positions: hot-cold, dash-floor they sometimes get obstructed Mine did the same thing about 2 years ago to the day. The entire dash had to come out, the mechanic said something like there are 2 bolts that you can't get to unless you take everything out....

travisn Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Mine did the same thing about 2 years ago to the day. The entire dash had to come out, the mechanic said something like there are 2 bolts that you can't get to unless you take everything out.... id prob belive him, bc taking dashes out SUCKS. i would never want to do it if i didnt have to. i used to work for a bmw/audi/land rover/porsche dealership in the bodyshop and i was so glad it wasnt me who had to take the dashboards or air bags out.

ruderegime Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Now it does it all the time. I hate it. I dont have the extra money to take it to a shop right now, and Im not going to take the dash out my self. this sux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruderegime Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks for the info!!! Now when I here the noise I change the dual temp to warm for a few sec. then back to cold and the noise goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Same thing happens on my 03 SSS and it seems to be on the passenger side control in my case; I just slide the temp slighty warmer and it goes away. ( I leave it set at that positon most of the time and I can't feel a difference between either side with the A/C running.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideBlue Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 sounds like it is your guys temp blend door actuators. There is also a service bulletin out for this problem, the doors are overextending themselves, have to reflash the PCM. I just put a recirculate actuator in a 05, its definitely a job, have to remove seats, center console, the whole dash, just to get to it. For anyone that does it just make notes of where stuff goes and pay close attention to what your doing, will be fine. doesnt take any special tools or anything like that.
