Heat blows only on driver side, blows cold on passenger side and back also, I think it is the blend door actuator. It also blows a lot harder on the passenger side too. A/C works good on both sides but still blows harder on passenger side.

You are right! it is the blend door actuator for the passengers side which is the easier of the two to change.

Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job.

Here is what it will be like on your car which is a little different the right side is the first image and the left side is the next. Then I uploaded the defrost and mode actuators in case anyone else needs them (below).

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
