Why pay the stealership $600+ to fix something you can do yourself for $32? This actuator replacement took me about 3 hours to complete. This is my first attempt at a YouTube video, so I hope it turned out ok, and that you find it helpful.

Fantastic video. I'm doing mine on an 04 Titan SE without the Bose amp so I did not have to deal with removing that, just the large black control module. I ended up bending that one bracket enough to get it out of the way and had to remove the back plate behind the actuator like you did to put the white greasy plastic piece back on correctly, that took me some time lining it up with the cam as I did not have a helper like you but just need to finish bolting it up now. Thanks! You saved me at least $600.00!
Excellent video! I have been dreading doing this and have been putting up with the woodpecker in my dash for over a year now. I just wish I had smaller hands and was a contortionist to be able to get under the dash as easily as you made it appear! Thanks for the video, it does help to know that it can be done!
This video was to me the most simple that I have seen, and I like how you explained the mistakes you encountered, as well as the solutions you came up with so you don't have to take out the whole dash unit. I have a 2015 Nissan Titan Pro-4x(love it), but I like knowing that there are really cheap simple solutions to problems. Also your editing and highlighting specific parts was very useful, and appreciated.
If you think about things before you just start taking things apart and throwing a lot of money at a problem, you can come up with an easy solution most of the time.
Really, NISSAN should be made to recall and fix this problem, this type of part should not be wearing out/breaking.
