Since couple of day ago I've been having trouble with air blend door/actuator. I got in there and found out the my door is cracked on the actuator mechanism. Also I have clicking noise coming from the actuator.

I messed around with it for couple hours this morning with no luck. I can get to one of the actuator screws after removing the speaker housing, other one is impossible to reach.

Anyhow I had to drive down to the dealer to get new spark plugs I figured I can look at this also.
So actuator is $45, not bad
Looks like the door can't be replaced, I need to purchase the entire housing. And that is $664[emoji33].

I spoke with my service tech guy, he is very up front and honest of the whole warranty process. Now I did purchase the life time warranty and this is covered.
Any repair hat is over $1K must be submitted to Chrysler. They then can either say go ahead and do it or they will request pictures or send inspector. If they say ok it'll be $100, if they deny $1.5K. The entire dash has to come out to get to this part. It also is covered in mud [emoji854].....
The catch, I have aftermarket head unit, speakers and about a mile of wiring. I need to remove it all, just to bring it in, and then yet it's not even guaranteed that they will fix it under warranty.
For now I just zip tied the shit back together and it does work. Goes up no problem, once it closes all the way the actuator makes clicking noise. I need to figure out how in the fuck am a gonna get this done.

On the bright side, my steering box just showed up.
