The 2005 Acura MDX's blend door actuator is located beneath the glove box on the passenger side footwell. This actuator is a small electric motor with sensors connected to your car's climate control system. When you adjust the temperature or airflow, the actuator processes these signals. Symptoms of a faulty blend door actuator include hearing a ticking noise from the dashboard when you start the car or experiencing cold air from the heater and hot air from the AC. A common cause of actuator failure is the fragility and breakage of the plastic gear set.
The door actuator in a 2005 Acura MDX is situated below the latch on the interior side of the door.
