Why is my Blend door actuator not working?

You could walk by it and you’ll hear it clicking, BUT the moment you open the door any door it will quit. When you start the car it will go off for about 15 seconds then stop. I have noticed that the radio will sometimes be on upon returning to the vehicle after coming out of the store. I suspect the door jamb switch or a bad ground.
