Hi,
You are correct. The blend door actuator only controls air temperature.
The actuator responsible for airflow direction is called a Mode Door Actuator. This actuator is located toward the top of the HVAC box under the dash. See pic 1.
What I suggest is this. First, locate the actuator motor. Make sure it is secure. If it is, remove it and see how it responds when you change the flow direction. If it is slow or weak, chances are it needs to be replaced.
The remaining pics are the directions for removal and replacement. The last 3 pics are for accessories needing removed to access the actuator. I figured I would add them in the event they are needed.
Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe.
