The blend door actuator (BDA) for your 2012 Chrysler 200 is located on the passenger side of your vehicle, underneath the glove box in the footwell. To remove it, start by disabling the airbag system and disconnecting the negative battery cable from your battery. Wait a few minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before proceeding. Take out the glove box, and you'll see the actuator positioned behind and slightly below it. Unplug the wire harness connector from the BDA, located on the left side of the housing. Next, remove the two screws that hold the BDA in place, allowing you to pull it forward and up for replacement.
Below the glove compartment are two important components: the recirculating door and the mode door. The heater door blend actuator is situated beneath the steering wheel, positioned above the heater core lines. This actuator is responsible for controlling the movement of an arm that, in turn, operates the heater door.
The passenger side does not house the blend door; instead, the recirculation and mode actuators are located there. You can find the blend door on the driver side beneath the steering wheel.
