2nd Gen Ram Heater Door Actuator (94-02) – 04882286

Your heat is stuck on one setting — or the airflow won’t switch between floor, dash, and defrost. On 2nd Gen Ram trucks, the heater door actuator controls the heat door position in the HVAC box. When it fails, you lose the ability to direct or regulate cabin heat. This is the OEM Mopar replacement, direct factory spec.

Part Number: 04882286

Fits:

• 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 3500 (5.9L V8, 5.9L Diesel, 8.0L V10)

Why replace it?

• Heat stuck on one temperature regardless of dial position
• No heat or heat that won’t shut off
• Airflow mode not switching (floor, dash, defrost)
• Clicking or grinding noise from the HVAC box
• Intermittent heat control that worsens over time

Heater door vs. heater actuator — what’s the difference?
The 2nd Gen Ram HVAC box uses multiple actuators for different functions. The heater door actuator (04882286) controls the heat door specifically. The heater actuator (04720279AB) controls a separate function. If you’re unsure which one you need, check which door is not responding before ordering.
