New blend door actuator works, but the peg seems to be 180 rotated from where it needs to be. Pulled the climate control fuse to re-calibrate the actuators, but it is still out of alignment.

The blend door does not require calibration on this vehicle, so I am attaching the process on how to replace the blend door just to make sure we are not missing something.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

I am attaching the info from the manual for this as well.

However, what I would suggest we do is remove the actuator but leave it plugged in and turn the A/C on full hot or cold and then manually move the door to that position. Then you can install the actuator as it will move to this same position when it is removed.

Let's run through this info and we can go from there. Thanks
