Does the vehicle listed above have two blend door actuators? If so, where is the passenger side located and do they use the same Stepper Motors?

Hi,

If the vehicle has automatic climate control, there will be two air mix (blend door) actuators. If you look below, I attached two pics.

The first pic is a side view of the HVAC box under the dash. I highlighted the location of the air mix door actuator for the right side of the vehicle (passenger's side).

Pic 2 shows the actual actuator and where it fits. Note I crossed out number 1 in the pic. That is a mode door actuator, responsible for airflow direction and not temperature.

If you have a manual climate control system, then it would have one actuator. If that was the case, you would get the same temperature from both sides, so I'm guessing this has automatic control.

Let me know.

Joe

See pics below.
