Default Buick/Corvette actuators interchangeable? Check this out

http://www.buickforums.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17002

I remembered in the AC actuator thread there being some information in regards to certain year buick actuators being interchangeable with the C5. It appears that the buicks coincidentally had issues with their actuators also.

Does anyone know if the C5 climate control unit has 3 separate actuators like the buick unit? I mean, one for vent position, one for heat/cold blend and one for the air inlet?

Thanks,

Donnie

The Auto Climate control only has 2 Actutators.
The Manual HVAC only has 1.
Everything else in the C5 HVAC is controled by Vacuum.
