The blend door actuator (1) is a reversible, 12 volt direct current (DC), servo motor. The blend door actuator is located on the top of the HVAC housing. The blend door actuator is interchangeable with the actuators for the mode-air and recirculation-air doors. Each actuator is contained within an identical black molded plastic housing with an integral wire connector receptacle (2). Each actuator also has an identical output shaft with splines (3) that connects it to its respective door linkage and three integral mounting tabs (4) that allow the actuator to be secured to the HVAC housing. The blend door actuator does not require mechanical indexing to the blend-air doors, as it is electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.
The blend door actuator can be accessed for serviced by removing the instrument panel.

The fixed A/C orifice tube is installed in the A/C liquid line and provides a restriction in the liquid refrigerant line between the A/C condenser and the A/C evaporator. This restriction established the pressure differential between the high and low-pressure sides of the A/C system.
The A/C orifice tube includes a diffuser screen (1), O-ring seals (2) to seal it to the inner wall of the A/C liquid line, an inlet filter screen (3) and the fixed orifice (4).
