2016 Blend door actuator replacement

[rklus16]

I believe I have a heater blend door actuator motor that has gone bad. Heater has stopped blowing heat to the floor and only to the defrost. I can change it to the front vents. I was trying to find an instructional video on removing the dash panel and center console to get to the actuators. I've found videos for '09 '10s which doesn't seem to difficult but neither had the center console.

Anyone have any experience with this with some additional instructions to get to the actuators?

Thanks

I was able to accomplish this task easily. I replaced both actuators behind the center dash. For the lower actuator, one of the screws is a little difficult to get a screwdriver on. I was able to get to with with a ratchet with an extension.

I followed this video on YT


Hope this helps someone.
