Okay, if it's single zone there are a total of three actuators. There are two on the left end of the HVAC case above the gas pedal. The bottom one is the blend door which controls the air temperature out of the case. The one above it is the mode actuator, it controls where the air goes, either floor, dash vents or defrost (or mixes of those depending on setting) the one on the far right that you took a picture of is the recirculate actuator. It controls where the air comes from. With it in the normal position the air comes through the outside vents and into the case, with it in the other position it pulls air from inside that cars body and runs that through the case.
If you cannot select floor/dash/defrost air then it's the top unit over the gas pedal.
If it's that you cannot control hot/cold air temp then it would be the lower one on that same side.
If you cannot control if it's outside air or inside air then it would be the one that you had in your picture.
The sheet you got from Ford shows the blend actuator on the left side and the recirculate actuator on the right.
What is the actual issue you are having with the heat/AC?
