Hi, I have the same issue. Ended up unplugging the small motor. I ordered the replacement part. Did you repair yours?
I did replace mine and it was an easy install.

I am having this issue right now. Do you have the part number? Are there instructions around on how to replace it? Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!!
There’s only 3 screws. The one on the backside took up most of my time. All you do is pull the motor straight out.

Blend doors...Blend doors. We don't need no stinking Blend doors.

None... but it pays well.
Way back on 8th gen Accords. People were having same issues. One guy took his actuator apart and found the grease had been stuck in the corner by movement squeezing it away. He added more molly grease and checked the movement. Once completed the actuator was usable without spending money to replace it.

Thanks a million for those pics and description of how to remove the actuator.

My wife recently complained that her 2020 JLU is making a clicking noise behind the glove box area. I removed the glove box today and discovered that the blend door actuator was trying to cycle back and forth. This was after the Jeep had been turned off for over an hour. A bit of google searching led me to this thread.

Although she has a MaxCare extended warranty, it would cost her a $100 ded. for them to replace it. I found a genuine Mopar 68301847AA replacement actuator for around $38. If this isn't too hard to replace, I might try it myself.

It’s real easy to replace.

Thanks for the encouragement, although that third hidden T20 Torx screw in the back doesn't look like it will be much fun to remove. I bought a 1/4" drive T20 bit and am waiting for the actuator to arrive, hopefully before Christmas. It is being shipped USPS.

You are correct about that hidden screw. Removing that screw was the hardest part. It just takes a little longer to remove.

Perfect thread. Instructions and part number. My 2018 makes those sounds after shut off and although not a huge deal, will fix it. Did many of them of them on my other cars too, cheap plastic gears I bet.
