alot of A/C problems
I went underneath from the driver side footwell, moved drivers seat all the way back.
1) remove the footwell trim panel, (2) push-in barb connectors and a stupid push nut holds in in place, remove the footwell light from panel. The knee bolster can stay in place
2) remove the (2) screws that hold the Bose Amp and lower to floor
3) with a light, looking up into the dash, about where the ignition switch should be, you can see the air muffler for the air cabin air temp sensor (1 1/2" dia x 2" long, surrounded in nasty/oily foam!
). Just to the left of that is the LH actuator. You have to remove the muffler to gain access to the actuator attachemnt screws.4) remove the air muffler from the plastic ductwork (wiggle & pull apart)
5) remove (2) screws that hold the LH actuator to the heater case, it's a 7/32" hex (if I remember right)
6) slide actuator off control shaft.
7) remove connector
8) reach up & rotate control shaft just to make sure it's free to move
9) slide out from under dash & catch you breath! (I slid out about a dozen times to grab various tools)
10) have a beer
Reverse procedure to assemble.
Took about 1 hour.
My actuator, after further disassembly, had a cracked/split output gear.
The actuator hub is press fit into this nylon gear. This bound up the geartrain preventing end-to-end calibration.The little buggers (actuators retail) cost about $180. I bought a complete set of actuators & vacuum pulls off Ebay for $40. BTW, the LH & RH actuators are the same.
Have fun, just another way of intimately knowing your Corvette!
This is great information. This method saves a huge amount of time.
