Hi,

I have a 2003 Chevy Avalanche, Does the Center console need to be removed to remove/replace the mode actuator above the gas pedal?

Thank You!
 
I did that last year, what a pain in the a$$!

Anyone got a link for an 02 Climate Control console wiring diagram? I want to mod the peanut lights to blue and red LEDs, but I need to rig something on the temp control to change the color of the LEDs.
 
Just replaced my hvac mode actuator in my 2002. Used help from the forum and you tube videos. Top 5.5 mm screw was difficult but with patience I got it in and out - (used a 5.5 mm socket with universal joint, right angle allen wrench that fit the socket, and a small open/box end wrench at various stages). A little tricky to get the cams seated but with wiggling and rotating I  got it seated. Did not remove console. About 1.5 hrs total to complete. At first, it still defaulted to defrost. Tried pulling the hvac fuse to recycle, no luck. I then pulled the hvac control module, pulled off its  connector and reinstalled. That did the trick! All is working perfect now.

This seems to be on passengers side mine is above the steering wheel straight above the brake pedal ,but thanks for the tip
 
Mine was on the drivers side, not passenger. The big arrow in the parts breakdown shows toward front. The view changes.
