I have a 2001 Siera and have replaced the modulator control in the dash and have also replaced the blend door actuator under the dash over the hump. My problem is that when I turn the heat on and then return to the cool settingthe actuator will not return to the cool position. However after the truck has sat for a while it will return to the cool position. Any ideras
Thanks Greg

These trucks have 4 actuators...
The lower one (acessible) is ONLY for the drivers' side temp....there is an upper one you can't get to for the passenger temp....a recirc one....and a mode one that directs the airflow

Argon, Thanks for all the info. WhenI have the Blend door actuator (the one on the hump below the dash), and I have it pluged in and just hanging loose, I turn the heat dial and I can visualize the motor turning to what ever position I have set. When I turn the dial back counter clock wise to cool it gets hung up and sticks at the point that I had set initially set on the temp dial. If I leave it alone for a while it will return to the cool position. Could it be the wire harness?
Thanks for all your help
Greg
