My son removed the door actuator for the air flow but hurt his back and could not install the new one. There is a pin that goes into one of the groves. Is it the top groove or the one under it? Is there a certain position the actuator needs to be in prior to bolting it? I notice in the middle of the electronic part there are 2 slits so should those line up with the straight lines shown on the actuator?

Hi,

There are a few different actuators. Since you said air flow, I suspect it is the one for air flow direction (mode door actuator). If that is wrong, let me know.

Here are the directions for removal and replacement of the mode door actuator. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
