Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blend Door Actuator P/N:604-345
Help restore proper HVAC operation with the Dorman blend door actuator (P/N 604-002), a recirculation air door actuator that directly replaces the original on a range of Chrysler-family applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2002-2009 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2012 Ram 2500 and 2003-2009 Dodge Ram 2500; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. This small electric motor drives the HVAC air door; when its gears strip or the motor burns out you may notice cabin temperature or airflow that won't change, a clicking or knocking noise behind the dash, or air stuck on one setting.
Also listed as an hvac heater blend door actuator, it controls the recirculation air door that switches the system between fresh outside air and recirculated cabin air. Because HVAC symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the fault before replacing.
