Yes i had the same problem where the temp control cable broke on me luckily it was still under warranty.Thanks Traxy i will keep that part in my list anyway.

 

This looks to be exactly what I need. Thank you for your help. I ordered the part this evening.

 

This will only go in one way, the big cog has to line up with the big gap in the outside gear. Let us know if you've had any problems with the install.

 

The project ended up taking longer than it should have. I ordered the part, and then almost a week later they canceled the order and said they couldn't get the part. Ordered from a second place and had no issues with delivery, outside of this one being more expensive. Once I had it torn apart and compared the original cable with the new one, it was obvious what the problem is. Somehow the small cable that drives the actuator had come out of the plastic channel. I actually had the original one more or less fixed and working, but there was a bit of slop in the cable so I just replaced it. I'm still not sure how it could jump out of the channel given how hard it was to get it back in. Everything buttoned up and working now. Thanks again for your help.

 

A lot of the time this happens in winter when people try to actuate these before hot air has had a chance to thaw the frozen trap doors or flaps. Applying too much force will either snap the cable or stretch it. Did you take any pictures???

 

I did not think of getting a picture, but it was basically two "loops" of cable on the backside of the dial hanging there. We had a brutal winter in Iowa this year, and this was my daughter's vehicle that sat outside the garage and experienced the brunt of the cold temps. That is definitely consistent with your theory.

 

Doesn't it feel good to save yourself a trip to the dealer. So self gratifying and a lot cheaper. How long did it take you and how long do you think it would take if you had to redo it today? How old is your daughter? I bought a 2016 Encore for my oldest for her graduation from University (Pearl white over silver with saddle leather interior ). She's since married and her husband takes pretty good care of it. Girls tend to neglect vehicles. He regularly details the interior and recently clay barred it. Except for a few rock chips and curb rash on one rim it still looks pretty good.

 

Is this underneath the steering area or the passenger side?

 

The temperature control is on passenger's side and the blend door control on the driver's side of the air box. These are similar but carry different GM #s. The blend door control's number is GM#95476707 # 22 in picture. The replacement procedure is the same but on the opposite side.

 

OMG! You just saved me $700!!! I had googled the part they said I needed and it was like $30, so $670 for labor. After suffering for several months I decided to google the problem and part again and stumbled on your post! We just moved to Florida when the problem started and it’s been miserable having to go anywhere. I just used your pictures and boom had cold air in less than a minute!

 

where did you buy the wire from?

 

You can get these at the dealer or order them on-line at any GM parts seller like gmpartsgiant or gmpartsdirect in the $65 to $70 range

I'm having the same issue as CRIowaBuckeye except I have a 2015 Trax and not only does the heat blow when everything is turned off but also whenever I turn my AC on. Could my AC/Heat issue also be the Temperature Control Cable? If so, what would be the part number and where can I order it?

 

All posted in this thread.

 

Can anybody please show me where the blend door actuator is located? it's #3 in the diagram above but I need to know where in the car it is. I have a 2016 Chevy Trax

 

It is on the right hand side of the airbox about 4 inches above the cabin air filter.

GM#95017988

I believe this is it.

 

I have this same problem with my 2016 Chevy Trax and was quoted 1443.30 for parts and labor. The mechanic said they had to remove the dashboard so it would take 7.8 hours of labor. Does this sound right?

 

Wow thats alot.

 

I was told the same thing and referred to the dealer since they are the only one who can fix it. As the temperature increases, I only have heat coming out. I have a 2017 Chevy Trax.

 

It must be common with the trax

 

I had the same issue and just took it in and got it fixed today. It was a cable on the temperature switch part cost 8.91 and labor was 127.50 so not bad at all. Cold air is working great now. I also just had to replace the evaporative canister purge solenoid and that cost me 61.37 and labor 34.00 so all togther it was 236.00. I called the chevy place and they wanted 150 just to run diagnostic test. I had O'Reilly check why my check engine light was on and they gave me a print out and that wasn't good enough they still said it would be 150.00 to run test. They love to rip people off.

 

Yeah, I think my chevy dealer is ripping me off. It was legit $299 in labor to diagnose the problem. A different dealer, the one where I got the car said it was the actuator in the hvac system. They wouldn't fix it because they aren't a chevy dealer so I had to go to the actual chevy dealer. They're trying to tell me it would $701 to replace the temperature control cable. 😑
