My A/C is working fine except for the fact that I cannot seem to be able to deviate the flow of air from the dashboard vents to any other direction (outlet).

The local mechanic had suspected the left (driver side) door actuator part going bad when the above shown error codes come up, which I've replaced and still to no avail.


Is there a way to figure out which part has gone bad instead of having to replace all 4 pieces?

Code B1086:07 is for one of the blend door actuators and the 07 part is for a problem such as a short circuit or open circuit. The fact that you can't change the vents is telling us it is the mode actuator. It looks like it is on the driver's side so you will need to remove the panel under the steering column. This can also help you recalibrate the system. Check out the images (below). Let us know what you find.
