Your A/C is blowing but the temperature won't budge — or it's stuck on one extreme. On 2nd Gen Ram trucks, the A/C temperature door actuator is the only electric actuator in the HVAC box. Everything else is vacuum-operated. When this one fails, you lose temperature control entirely.
Part Number: 05104879AA
Fits:
- 1994–2001 Dodge Ram 1500 (Base, ST, Sport, Laramie, WS)
- 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 (Base)
- 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 3500 (Base)
⚠️ Important fitment note: The 2002 Ram 1500 is a 3rd Gen platform and does not use this actuator. This part is for 2002 Ram 2500 and 3500 only.
Why replace it?
- Temperature stuck on hot or cold regardless of dial position
- A/C blows air but can't adjust between heat and cool
- Clicking or grinding noise from behind the dash
- Intermittent temperature control that gets worse over time
How the 2nd Gen HVAC system works:
Unlike 3rd and 4th Gen Rams which use multiple electric actuators, the 2nd Gen box relies primarily on vacuum actuators — this is the only electric one. That makes it straightforward to diagnose: if your temperature control is dead and vacuum lines are intact, this actuator is the culprit.
