Detailed Description
Standard Ignition ADR248 is an HVAC recirculation door actuator used to control the recirculation door inside the climate system. When the OE actuator fails, the recirculation door may stop responding, which can affect cabin air control and HVAC performance. This replacement is engineered to restore normal function with the same basic fit and electrical interface expected from the original unit. Cross-reference part numbers include 8L8Z19E161A and ADA173 for the same application.
