Detailed Description
This Dorman HVAC blend door actuator, part number 604-870, is designed for the left main position in the HVAC box on 2009-2015 Honda Pilot and 2007-2013 Acura MDX models. It controls the blend door that regulates air temperature by directing airflow through the heater and A/C system. For drivers searching for a Honda Pilot blend door actuator or Acura MDX HVAC temperature control actuator, this part provides an OE-style replacement built to match the original unit’s quality and performance.
Use Dorman 604-870 when the factory actuator no longer responds correctly to HVAC commands or when temperature blending becomes inconsistent. This part cross-references Standard Ignition ADR4261 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Incorrect cabin temperature output from the HVAC system
- Clicking or repeated movement from a worn blend door actuator
- Airflow that stays stuck on hot or cold settings
- Loss of proper temperature control in the left main HVAC zone
- HVAC blend door response problems in Honda Pilot and Acura MDX models
Installation Notes and Tips
