Yep, you were right I checked out the mode door actuator and it was not moving so I got a new one for $67.00 on Amazon and it works great! Thanks for the guides they really helped. I love this site.

The air flow on the air conditioner is very low. Someone had suggested a clogged cabin filter but I saw on your site that this vehicle does not have one. Other than checking the duct work for leaks and misalignment, do you have any suggestions as to how to get the cold air to blow out? The fan seems to work, just very little directs up top.

Is the air blowing out of the wrong area? For example, you have it set on the vents, but it blows out the defroster hard and only a little from the vents.

There is some leakage under the dash which I have to address. The flow does change when the controls are switched so it does direct properly but the flow is weak at best.
