revisit post, anyone know if the actuator rod/arm for floor, dash, and defrost should move when its bad ? looks ok from what i can see just stuck on defrost, 97 ram 1500 4x4 5.2 been eliminating vac leaks all the way back to climate controls...have 25 inch lbs of vac at the tubing just before this area there is another actuator same area think its a floor duct actuator...i am going to pull dash to replace its in pieces from sun damage...thanks dodgeordie oops guess i shoulda went to second gen rams sorry...

 

Are you getting vacuum to the HVAC control head?

 

hey you, yes and thanks for the reply,i removed the actuator today... door moves to all positions..and then messed with the actuator itself and it worked,[ put a hand vac to it] put back together/ reinstalled and now it works so either door was stuck or the actuator was stuck but works now....thanks if anybody has a vac leak send them my way i`v been working this problem for 5-6 days have a good understanding of vac system.... great web forum keep up the great work joel b

 

Glad ya got it fixed.
