When the blend door actuator is removed try to work the blend door pivot by hand inside the heater plenum, if it is stuck or jammed the actuator will not work. Here is the correct part number you need from Dorman.

Dorman: 604-272
Dorman Products

Ford/Motorcraft OEM references: XC3Z-19E616-BA (also shows as XC2Z-19E616-AA in some OEM

Please let us know what happens.
