Key Features

  • Direct replacement HVAC blend door actuator for temperature control operation
  • Rotary switch activation type for blend door movement
  • 7-pin male terminal design for the specified vehicle applications
  • Plastic housing construction

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

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and left main position before installation. This actuator uses a rotary activation design with a 7-pin male terminal layout, so matching the original electrical connection is important. Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and HVAC box location against the listed fitment for 2009-2015 Honda Pilot and 2007-2013 Acura MDX.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this replacement actuator to align with the original blend door actuator’s fit and performance on the specified vehicles. The part is engineered for direct replacement use in the listed applications.
