Question #1: When you buy work gloves, do you shop in the Children's department?Question #2: Do you have a supply of bandages and a current tetanus vaccine on board for the 30+ small razor cuts on your knuckles, fingers and wrists?If so, you are qualified to remove and install this blend door actuator part located deep within the bowls of the entrance to that Honda no-man land called: The Honda Pilot passenger side dash board. Seems easy... dash pieces remove quickly, easily.... glove box, and lower plastic dash cover all pops off with only a few Phillips head screws. "But then begins the journey in your head"... to figure out how to get your hands into the tiny passage areas, past the razor-sharp metal braces and gigantic bulky air vent tubes. If your hands are the size of a 6 year old, you will have no issues at all.... but normal sized hands, forget it. Plan on spending some time taping up the sharp metal edges inside the dash before you even start. Which edges you ask?.... all of the, you can't miss them. When you gut the passenger side dash, you will notice they almost act like they are waiting to surprise you with their razor sharp back edges.... blocking every access area and holding up the airbag (which realistically could cut your head off in less than 1,000 of a quarter of a second)... don't mess with wires you don't understand under there!!!!!! Think this thing through... consider trading in your Honda.... seriously, it's that difficult of a job.... and it may be worth opening up your dash, and having your 6 year old actually do the removal and install of the actuator. Think of it as a family activity! In reality, the engineers at Honda need to be gathered up around one of these 2011 Honda Pilots and forced to remove and install this actuator themselves, blindfolded, with firefighters gloves. That's what it's like if you use your hands to make a living... nobody over the age of 6 has hands small enough to do this job.... Perhaps maybe the Honda engineers will think twice about the consequences of removal before they get all "Value-Engineering Crazy" as they literally Tetris the components required under the dashboard.Oh... and the replacement part went in easily, no grease or lube provided for the actuator, but that's a minor deal. It works like it should, and it appears to be an exact OEM replica part... for $54 bucks, it's a good investment. It's been in now for 2 days, and so far so good.... but really, truly, this may be a job for a mechanic. If you have any type of arthritis, forget it. My fingers and knuckles would not work in those tight spots - fingers can reach, wrists get cut from the framework, and only a collection of small, universal socket swivels and long extensions will allow you to complete this hellish install. Only an hour they say for the install... sure, perhaps if it's the second one you install... where you know exactly what to remove, and how.... but for me, it was a 3 hour ordeal that only involved me throwing the glove box out into the yard as a sign of complete and udder frustration. Oh yeah, and the blood cleanup will require lots of paper towels. Other than that, it's nearly as much fun as a tooth extraction without Novocain. Order it, keep it on hand... it will fail... Honda guarantees it by placing it where nobody can reach it. I pray it lasts and works!

I was quoted a price by my local dealership of anywhere from $700.00 to $1300.00 for the repair. NOPE! I received my adapter on time and was out there to install the adapter into my car. The install took about 15 minutes...as soon as I figured out how to drop my glove box off the dash. As soon as it was down I was able to clearly see the part and the screws holding it in place. I removed the part, replaced it with my new part, and put it all back together again and it only took 15 minutes. Not only did I save myself $700.00, I also happen to be a "very near to 60-year-old" female. The part worked beautifully and I now have air conditioning and heat. Thank you so much for getting me the exact part at the right time. Truly appreciated!

Desafortunadamente la pieza se parece, pero no le quedó a una Ford Explorer 2007, es una lástima, ya que el vendedor es agradable y la entrega fue súper rápida
