DISCLAIMER!
I am not responsible for any damages that may accure to the door, motor or any other part of the system as a result from this trick/”fix”
Alright in Cobalt’s and other GM vehicles the blender door actuator has always been an issue where after some time it starts making a clicking sound when the vehicle turns on and when you use the re-circulation feature. This is due to the the final few teeth of the gear being stripped or messed up.
In this video i will be showing you how to stop this without taking it to the dealership and paying a bunch of money to have the dash tore apart and having the actuator for the blender door replaced.
Tools/Requirements needed:
Scissors or Snips
Two or Three Long Zip Ties
10-15 Minutes Of Time

Mine does that creepy sound too. Heading outside and try this out. Wait for an update.
**Updated**: I tried it out with two zip tie in the middle instead of in two places and worked just perfectly. Make sure you don't leave a slack of the zip tie, but leave 1/8 of an inch in order the flap door stay in open position but for a little room which is 1/8''. Great thanks to this man for showing us how to eliminate that sound. Thank you gain.
This does not work. Scratched up my hands trying to do it too.
Gracias amigo!!! It's all about sharing knowledge.
Thanks dude. Easy fix right there and still allows you she still use your air filter and the actuator door. Thanks for the easy fix.
Great video man, really appreciate it.
Thank you!!!! 🙂 my chevy equinox just started doing this but it doesn’t stop for awhile.
Great video man, solved the problem.
How do you get the zip ties put on I can’t get it fed through!?
I'm going to try this. Sounds like no one has noticed any negative affects??? Thanks!
worked perfect
Holy crap this really works! I only had to use 1 zip tie though. Just a few well earned busted knuckles and BAM! No more noise lol. Thanks man, you rule. How dare they build the dash to where it's insane to access important components! Chevy engineers their cars to where you are almost left with no choice but pay their mechanics hundreds of dollars for NOTHING!
Thank you for your easy fix technique. It was a great help.
