I need to replace the blend door that controls where the air blows out ( defrost, vent, or floor).

Been doing research but can't find anything.

So it’s not a normal blend door? Because that’s what the parts store sold me.

Not according to Alldata.

Did you get the mode door motor?

The blend door is electric.
