This aftermarket unit replaces OEM part numbers such as 15-73989, 604-140 and 20826182 and is engineered to fit models like the Chevy Traverse (2009–2012), GMC Acadia (2007–2012), Buick Enclave (2008–2012) and certain Outlook years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this actuator fix inconsistent cabin temperatures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend door actuator controls the position of internal flaps that mix warm and cool air before it reaches the vents. If the actuator is worn or its gears strip, the flaps can stick or respond slowly, producing incorrect temperatures. Installing a functioning actuator returns precise blend control so the HVAC system delivers the temperature you set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores proper flap movement for accurate warm\/cool mixing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEliminates delayed or erratic temperature changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect replacement form, fit and function for listed models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and part numbers is this compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replacement is made to match factory actuator mounting and electrical connections, and it lists multiple cross-reference numbers to help ensure fit.
