The AC/heat control unit keeps flashing when turned on sometimes it stops. Is it the head unit or the blend door actuator?

Thanks for the video! This usually means you have a mode actuator that is not working. Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when doing the job and the location of the actuator for your truck below:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

It says they are the same for either. Have you tried to replace the actuator?

Not yet, they were asking me if my unit is manual or automatic which I think is manual.
