Is the passenger side blend door actuator changeable?
If you have not yet replaced it yet, or if there is anyone else who is about to, know that it is changeable without taking the whole dash apart like the writeup shows.

What happens when an actuator goes bad on a car?
An actuator can go bad in of two ways; first the electric motor can burn out rendering the unit non-responsive so nothing changes when the temperature or vent mode controls are moved. Next, the plastic gear set will become brittle and break which will sometimes allow the unit to work while making a ticking or clicking noise and then stop.
