Take control of your cabin temperature with the Four Seasons HVAC Blend Door Actuator 73683 — a direct-fit Subaru Outback blend door actuator that drives the air-mix door inside the HVAC case to blend hot and cold air for the temperature and airflow you select. It installs as a right-side replacement for the 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy and 2005-2009 Subaru Outback (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines).
Complete drive assembly: includes the lever arm, gear, cam gear hardware and linkage as applicable, so the actuator engages the door as intended.
Internal build: quality internal motor, drive gears, electronics and connections handle the positioning duty.
Validated: tested for function, durability and longevity, and built to OE-level fit and function.
Right-side unit: cataloged for the right blend door position.
Common signs an HVAC blend door actuator may need replacing include a repeated clicking or knocking noise behind the dash, or air that stays stuck on one temperature and won't shift between hot and cold. If a failed actuator is the cause, this direct-fit unit replaces it. Backed by over 50 years of mobile A/C experience from Four Seasons.
It is a small electric motor-and-gear unit that positions the blend (air-mix) door inside the HVAC case, controlling how much hot and cold air is blended to reach your selected temperature.
