Detailed Description

This Dorman HVAC blend door actuator, part number 604-189, is precision-engineered to match the quality and performance of the original actuator used in select Chevrolet Caprice, Chevrolet SS, and Pontiac G8 models. It is designed for HVAC systems that rely on rotary actuator movement for blend door or mode selection functions, including applications requiring outside air control.
